First Try in Rubber Carving

Another new experiment on craft. Trying on rubber carving. It's fun, easy to craft but difficult to master. Geninne inspired me to carve. She's a very very talented stamp artist.

Ok, now look at what I did.... :p


First try, with Geninne's tutorial. Uneven lines, and smeared. :/


Second try. Own design. Still look weird and uneven stamping area. But outerline looks better this time. :p


My tool.

They are actually wood carving tool. They are sharp but the carving is not precise enough. I think I need to get a proper (better) tool for rubber carving.

Rubber stamping is messy :/


And Nici says 'Hi'

  5. Guess what! I've been wanting to try this and have actually bought plenty of rubbers... lol. I've also kored-ed my old wood carving tool but in this case, I think I'll go buy the proper ones before I start. lol.

    1. u can try jusco.They have cheap set that is designed for woodcarving -about RM13.But these are not good enough for delicate stamp carving.You might want to invest on speedball instead.
