Hand Carved Stamps in Collage

Written By Elizabeth St. Hilaire

Make Your Mark on Your Art!

Today’s Tidbit utilizes a hand carved stamp that I gave a detailed tutorial video for on my Patreon Page. Carving your own stamp for a specific piece can be very rewarding, and afterward you have the stamp to use on note cards, or painting paper, or future collages. This stamp I carved specifically for my Hawaiian Hula Girl from my Fashion Plate Portraits workshop this week. This workshop will be online in January, be sure to watch for it on my newsletter.

I’m using Archival Ink Pads that come in tons of fun colors from Joggles they are archival, permanent, waterproof, and acid free… What could be better?

Products used in this Tidbit are listed below please consider supporting Joggles.com as the are a family owned business out of Rhode Island with great customer service. Word on the street is that they will wrap your order in some pretty amazing tissue paper!
