Geometric stamps - Do it Yourself

Geometric shapes are a big trend in 2012! This is a very simple way to make geometric stamps and refashion all your dull objects!

Materials:

*carving tools
*erasers
*exacto knife
*stamping ink
*wooden toy blocks *pen

You can start from the easiest way. Cut the eraser rubber in squares and triangles. Your first geometric stamp is almost ready!

 Next step: mission circle! Draw a circle on the eraser, then cut the excess with the exacto knife and make the finish touches with the round carving tool!
The secret in every stamp you make, is to regularly stamp on a piece of paper and check if the shape has flaws!

You follow the same procedure for every shape, just remember that in repeated shapes you cut only half way down the rubber.

 Carve the shapes you want and then glue them on a wooden block. You have to do that, to ensure that the pressure is equal allover the surface when stamping.

And you are done! You have created a geometric stamp set!
You can restyle decorative objects, make paintings, decorate fabric or even clothes!

Good Stamping!!!!

Here is a sample of his amazing work!

A poster the recipient completes by revealing spot-varnished type with hands made dirty by handling the poster, the back of which is coated with powdered pigment. Hand silkscreened poster with envelope.
This is the first of a series of posters.
