Comment by vizma bruns on January 8, 2012 at 1:09pm: Linda, I haven't been called a rubber friend before! Ha ha!

At art school when I did lino printing, we used to heat the lino with a hair dryer to soften it up, maybe that will help? I'm with Angie, I like it too.

Wow! Lancillotto, your stamps are so impressive!! How big are they? Are they made of erasers or lino? I'd love to see a photo of the stamp!

Comment by Linda Pelati on January 7, 2012 at 6:57pm: I would like it too... if only the colour would sticks on the linocut. The print in the photo is the only decorous over endless attemps....

Comment by Linda Pelati on January 7, 2012 at 5:45pm: the afternon was unsuccessful... Where did I mistake? I think I used a lino square too old. The ink does not grip on it. Awful result! I tried with endorsing ink and then with water based colours but the surface is too stiff.... I am so low skilled :-(

Comment by Linda Pelati on January 7, 2012 at 9:20am: Vizma, I'm jealous of your drawers! (drawers& rubber stamps) :-) Talking with rubber friends is inspiring.... this will be a rubber carving saturday.....

Comment by vizma bruns on January 7, 2012 at 2:59am: Xmas stock is really cheap now, here's what I did with a couple of bargain erasers!

Comment by vizma bruns on January 7, 2012 at 2:54am: Linda and Lindy, I used the advice from both of your comments and they work really well!

I chopped up a mouse pad and used a thick foam double-sided tape to stick it on. I used stickers to put the image on the back, but that's no good, they just peel off. I lined the shelf with acetate, (I had paper but that would dry them out, I'm guessing) and have stored them in these very handy little drawers. (Which I MADE a retired dentist give me!!!)

Thanks again for your help!
