Proofing some stamps. These are pretty close to done. I’m in love with this leaping Scythian ram, it’s one I started a long time ago and didn’t have the nerve to finish.
Oh look, some content in 2023? Despite me making a ton of art over brean y'all only get this little rabbit I did as a carving test. Happy New Year, nerds! . . #printmaking #stampmaking #stampcarving #linocut #rabbit #bunny #stamps #stationary #yearoftherabbit #cute #animal #art #artist #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAme73vBFR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
So I did a thing. I’ve been wanting to try making my own stamps for a while now & today I finally took the leap. It’s a very simple dot pattern but it will add some nice texture to my projects. An image doesn’t have to be fancy & elaborate to make a big impact. Even simple marks like these rustic dots can really make a project pop. Keep an eye out here to see where this pattern ends up. Have you ever carved your own rubber stamps or woodcut designs. I’d love to see them. Show them off in the comments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stampcarving #rubberstamping #addingtexture #linocutting #printmaking #surfacedesigntextures #oylerhousedesigns #oylerhousemakes #makeyourownstamps #papercraftingwithstamps https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDQ7eLuEjb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Didn't go really well, but it's not that bad for a first attempt... I think. It could do well with a bit of clean up and finding an ink pad to properly test it instead of using my dip pen's ink.
Also, I'm thinking that the concept could do well as a little digital print or something like that :think_emoji: I'll leave the idea on the backburner!
SO i’ve been super into making linocut prints lately and this is my most recent one. stems are a pain in the neck i think it turned out ok. hopefully gonna be selling these soon, so stay tuned for more updates :D. i’m more active on instagram if you wanna follow me there too.
