<p>I wrote a tutorial on stamp carving many years ago. The information is still good, though as you can see some of the links need to be repaired. I hope it helps!</p>

Amazing! I've read almost every post in the group today and can't believe all the info you're sharing. And also comparing, is a pity that here in Argentina most of the rubber erasers are too small. The bigger one you could find is a Staedtler one with a juggler drawn in one side. Another thing I should get is the Speedball set for linoleum, specially the thin V. I use Stassen carving tools but they are too big for carving in tiny surfaces. Too bad there's no way to keep the potato stamps…

Yep, I agree. Also, I like to put a large stamp down on a flat sturdy surface face up, ink it, and then place the paper on top. I then use a large flat book or something like that to press down evenly on the paper and it creates a gorgeously even print. It takes a little bit of practice to get this right every time but it's well worth it.

Yes, I've done that as well for line drawings of mine. I don't know why I've never thought of doing it with my own photos since I'm a photographer, for goodness sake! LOLOL Thanks for your comment Holly - nice to know who does that now. I haven't done one of these for maybe 20 years and I sent my images to someone with a vulcanizer. Will check Jackson Products out. :)

I have been a fan of having images made into photopolymer sheets by companies such as Jackson Products. You cram as many images on the sheet as possible then just carefully cut around them and use double back sticky foam to mount (on whatever you prefer, lids from jars work too...). You choose the size of the sheet according to how much you have to spend.<br />
One of the reasons I like this is because I often see something, nature or people, that I want on a stamp so I always have my camera ready.

hi everyone! offering my two cents here. i use alot of pre made rubber stamps (mostly because i can find really neat and detailed rubber stamps easily online), but also love to carve my own. i use the larger sheets of rubber eraser material that i buy from my local art store. like the speedball texture but softer. I'll need to look up the brand name next time i go to the store cause it's not on the actual sheet of rubber eraser. i love the larger sheet format as i can cut the sheet down to…

I'll need to look up the brand name next time i go to the store cause it's not on the actual sheet of rubber eraser. i love the larger sheet format as i can cut the sheet down to different sizes for varying sizes of stamps. i also like to carve out textures and large size stamps to cover envelops. will post examples i have made soon... working on a larger stamp right now for tictac's bubbles art call...

I bought another 15 erasers last tuesday and made new eraser-stamps.<br />
They go quite quick, because the rest of the family also likes the technique.<br />
The children (6+4 y.o) just draw elves and sea-mermaids and I cut them. nice results.

Yes, that is a good one (didn't know if that was still available online). I haven't had much luck with acetone but maybe it's because I am so sensitive to the fumes. I either draw directly onto the carving material (in reverse - I'm used to it after all of these years!) or draw onto paper with a soft pencil and then burnish it onto the carving material. That works well also but there is an extra step if you're trying to transfer a photograph.<br />

SoftKut is a funny name - most of them are at best silly and at worst unsettling! :) Good luck at the dentist. :)
