Carving Stamps and Some Seed Packets

Yesterday,  I headed to the basement to retrieve my old carving tools. Not only did I manage to locate them after at least two decades, but I found a decent sized scrap of linoleum.  So I actually did some carving and stamping...the first steps in my November instructions for Fodder School. Since I had no interest in stamping leaves and flowers, I just kind of played with it. I used stamping ink and I used watery acrylic paint. I am loving the results. And I am also loving the fact that I can play with printmaking, abandoning some of the purist printmaking techniques that I learned and loved more than 20 years ago. I can do some printmaking without oil based inks, multiple solvents, and a press and still like the results.

 

 

 

Today,  I made some more seed packets....

 

 

 

Now, I'm off to watch some more Fodder School instructions....
