  1. I like to make my own stamps. Make them from many things.

    A childhood memory is making them from potatoes! So much fun and then throw it away!

  2. I did make rubber stamps in my high school Graphics class but not since then. I did try using the bottom of a plastic pop bottle dipped in paint to stamp flowers a month ago. I've never been able to master rubber stamping. I either use too much or too little ink, apply too much or too little pressure.

  11. This is a great collection! Thank you for sharing. I've been obsessed with stamping lately :). I recently used a cabbage butt to print some fabric and have a pile of other random hings I want to try stamping with.
