Handmade Art Stamps

click photo to get larger view

Never done this before but I was inspired by gennine's stamp carving tutorial. This is fun!! I can do it anywhere at anytime! I am addicted to rubber stamp carving! Would love to try more complicated motives next time.

It was a long blackout last night. So I took the chance to finish my 8th stamp, lit by only the candle light. My hubby was busy with his laptop. Good, I can do my carving without interference. Hehe. Done with carving, I took my camera and play with light. It's been quite some time, I've been forgetting my photography hobby. After a couple of shot, my hubby came and said something like this, "Orang modify lah sikit2 (You should modify a bit)"--->he meant the subject. I was done with a new setting and about to take another snap, when he suddenly dashed some talc on the glass surface. Aiyooo...pengacau!!

Before---1/15s, 3.2f

After---1/3s, 3.2f

hi ida!! i think kalau nak stamp yang besar2 memang sesuai guna foam. lebih mudah kan. readymade stamps memang mahal, kadang x berbaloi sungguh. hehe. macam ni...puas hati...ikut citarasa sendiri. ni kalau tempah mahal nih. :-p haha.

helo pupu. ya i love geninnes artwork. so neat. oh it would be my pleasure to make one for u!! (while thinking how complicated ur kokeshis) haha! But like i said to ezooone before, i'll try my best! just email me the image. our atc swap deadline is 20th may...still got time maa...haha. i keep that on hold too. lots of other work to catch up!!

Hi Mangosteenskin,
U asked me about the word 'prolific' the other day, right? It means 'productive', u know, u constantly come up with new ideas, artworks etc.
Keep it up...

BTW, if u brush off the talc from the glass, wouldnt there be fingerprints all over it?

It sounds 'no where to hide', doesnt it?

mangosteenskin said...

helo abgjas,
wow...now maybe i should use "prolific blog" tag for mangosteenskin? haha! tq abgjas.

hm...never tought of "playing CSI" that night....maybe i should go back and try. hehe.
