Yes I just carved my own stamps. I was very scared to do it but it was much easier than I thought! I had done it 45 years ago in print shop! I was the only girl in my print shop class!
Absolutely fascinating Elizabeth. You are without a doubt one of the most creative artists on Social Media. And you have an incredible eye for shapes that work (evidence - your stamp and stencil designs). Love what you did with the skirt!
Lovely! I've carved my own stamps for years, many of them on flat erasers. I even take advantage of the sides of the erasers, carving patterns into them. I find it therapeutic, too. Had not thought of a meat pounder for a baren - brilliant! (my vintage one has spikes on it and wouldn't work). However, in the baking department, there is a flat tool with a handle for smoothing icing, I believe, that should work nicely, too, and is far less expensive than a baren. Skirt is adorable and so fun!!
I have done that on erasers too Sue! The pounder worked great! didn't slide well, but gave good pressure. oh no spikes!! LOL I linked mine below. ICING perfect... thanks so much
You are asking for my favorite! Well dag Elizabeth❗️I love them all❣️ Just like everything you create‼️ I believe we’re a lot alike. Wild, colorful and groovy‼️ Woohoo❗️ I do like your circle pieces! It’s wonderful to see you sooo excited‼️ Blessings to you & your dog❣️😻
You are an amazing teacher! I love your videos because you explain everything you are doing in a concise and entertaining fashion. The skirt is fabulous! Can't pick a favorite stamp. I like them all! Not only are you gifted as an artist, but also as an encouraging motivator. Thank you for sharing.
Cool! 😍👍🏻 - Yes, I have carved my own stamps before, some incorporating initials of people for personalised projects and I love doing it. I have a lot of carving material left and you have just inspired me to do it again very soon! Thank you! 🤗😍🥰
I did linoleum block carving with my junior high school art classes for many years. This new material looks lots easier. One important tool I had in my classroom was a bench hook. It is flat piece of plywood with wood strips on the ends.. one on each side. I made them myself (30 of them!), but you can buy one as well out of metal from Speedball. The bench hook hooks onto the edge of the table and keeps your carving block from skooting around and keeps your hands out of harms way. If you cut a V notch in the top end strip it makes it easier to cut various angles. Saved a lot of little kids fingers!
Yes I know the bench hook! This material is really easy to carve, like butter. I have carved linoleum and it is difficult, for sure. Thanks so much for the info Regina!
Yes, I have carved my own stamps, several years back. I have used the Speedball material and all kinds of erasers, too. You are inspiring me to get out my tools and carve a stamp. My favorite stamp that you carved is the tulip, especially with the oval background.
I absolutely love that skirt! So fun! I’ve only done stamp-carving one time. I took Art in my senior year of high school (in the 70’s). I remember really enjoying the process of carving and the anticipation of how it would come together at the end. I got an “A” in that class, by the way [insert patting myself on the back here]. My favorite of your stamps today is the long stem with the round leaves. Thanks for adding some extra happiness to my morning today! ☀️ 🪴
Love these designs so much! Most people print on fabric with fabric screenprinting inks but I’m amazed at how well these turned out with the acrylics. BTW you can add a golden medium called fabric medium to the paint which makes it even a softer handle.❤️💙💚🧡💛
I think you could do it on anything really, I think goodwill is a great idea to get clothing to cut up for print on or modify. :-) What have you got to lose?
So much fun! I have some easy-carve but haven't tried yet, this demo gives me inspiration. Love your travel skirt too! and the Boy Scout numbers are so great!! Thanks for sharing this with us.
My pleasure! The Boy Scout numbers I scored at an antique store in North Carolina. I bought enough of them for two skirts I was so excited about them! I was a Girl Scout for many years. The stamp carving material is great, you’ll love it
Elizabeth, love the flowers. Hard to pick a favorite but I will anyway. I’m leaning to the sparklier flower. It reminds me of am allium seed head. The skirt is wonderful and beautifully reflects you personality and creativity. I would like to try making my own stamps but I have decided I need to start doing and not get distracted by every new idea or technique that I see. I do have an old denim shirt I might gave some fun with using stamps on hand and found objects.
you should try it on your old skirt, why not? give it new life. I love that flower too YES it took forever to carve but was worth it. thanks for weighing in Kay! Yeah, I get distracted by all the fun art stuff too. you should see my studio! LOL
I saw a video of another TH-cam'er that was doing gelli printing on paper and for a baren they used the round cardboard lid from the top of a carton of ice cream like Edy's. Works in a pinch! I love all your videos and and have learned so much!
I can see why you would think it might not work but it gives you a flat surface to put the knuckles of your hand to apply pressure to the gelli plate. I agree that it wouldn't work for stamping on fabric, especially denim, but it works on paper with a gelli plate.
@@carolnacarato4448 I use my finger tips and heels of my palms to push the paper into the open spaces of my stencils and masks so I prefer to use my hands on the gel plate. :)
Hi Elizabeth! I very much enjoy watching your videos and thank you so much for sharing with us all. Love your eye glasses. Where do you shop for your frames I wonder please?
This was such a fun video! I have carved stamps before but this was still helpful as you always add helpful tips. And the skirt is terrific! You bring lots of joy to people passing by in that skirt! Thanks so much!
Looks great fun ! Loved how excited you were with the results....and who wouldn't be ! Lovely designs, I feel inspired to have a go. Good that the paints are able to withstand washing too. 😊👏👍🌿
Beautiful and whimsical, Elizabeth! I've carved my own stamps for the last decade or so, and especially love to use them in my handmade sketchbook projects along with monoprinting. Very fun!
They are great to use with mono printing! And in watercolor sketchbooks, and mixed media journals. I also love stamping them on Notes and cards to my family. Endless opportunity :-)
Brilliant!! I have not carved my own stamps before, but now I must! I do have a ton of stamps, but making my own sounds like something I have got to try!! Thank you for this video!! ❤️ I really loved your mcm tulip stamp 🌷
I have carved some stamps before, more geometric designs, the ones you did look like so much fun to make. Never occurred to me to draw them out first. I bought an inexpensive carving kit which I think was a big mistake the knives are not that great. I need to invest in a better set by Speedball! Your skirt looks wonderful. Favorite flower is the one that kind of looks like a tulip with the 3 stamen. Thanks for showing your beautiful stamps.
Thanks Dinie, YES the tools being good quality are key, I have used some of those cheap ones and Speedball are way better. PLUS Speedball ar not all THAT expensive. I love drawing them out first, I need a plan!
Great designs, love that design look, didn't know it was called 'mid-century modern'! I remember doing a linocut once and the many finger nicks. Wow, this carving material is much improved! I'd give a slight nod to the allium or dandelion flower though I really liked them all. The traveling skirt is so unique, love that it evolves with you. Great tutorial as always, ❤️ your TH-cam channel!! Also much appreciate the links to products you use!
Thanks so so much! Yes that style is having a resurgence, like all things, coming back around. That’s my favorite flower as well! Lots of work carving. YES this carving material is like butter. Yes that traveling shirt and I have been through a lot! :)
This is amazing. I gotvto make a list to fo the stamps and buy yours . I created stamps at Bible School. Art class and did some with Daddy too for his leather
@@ElizabethStHilaire I really enjoyed printmaking at College, particularly collagraph and Lino. I don’t like the toxicity of etching and some other disciplines so I chose the “safer” methods. I’m really interested in trying Carborundum printmaking. Anna Perlin does beautiful prints combining carborundum and collage. X
@@ElizabethStHilaire I did printmaking at college and really enjoyed Lino, collagraph and drypoint. I didn’t enjoy etching because it was so toxic.

There is an English artist, Anna Perlin and she combines carborundum and collage in her prints. X
I just got the supplies to do my own carving, but I also wanted to look at the Rubber Moon designs, and I must be missing something, can't find them. I love the flower!
Great video! I have carved a few small stamps and loved the process and results. I'd never be able to pick a fav of yours though, it seems the whole is more than the parts ( I think?)......

I bet today you’d be hard-pressed to find a boy in a print making shop :-) I’m glad you did it, the materials we use now make it a lot easier

Oh my goodness thank you! I do teach workshops and that has helped me be concise! I appreciate your compliments!!
I was remembering how I used to carve stamps in my highschool art class and almost ordered a kit last week! Now I wish I had!
You still can! It’s so much fun
I love carving my own stamps! Great video for this “fly by the seat of my pants” artist.

Right? I have to resist the temptation to stamp all over every bit of clothing in my drawer :-)

And if you had pushed with your fingers into the dent by the seam instead of using the meat tenderizer you could probably get better coverage.😊
