1// Deciding on my design and sketching out my stencil on lino. 2// Testing out some tools I've never used before. 3// The fun part; carving!! 4// The final little mountain stamp 5// A few testers first. 6// Ta-da. The perfect result! I love the little rough lines around it. 7// It's messy work.

It's amazing how much you can learn in such a short space of time. I only ever remember using/having one tool bit back in college, but man those things are useful! I've also learnt that you can't scrimp on ink and heating up your lino makes carving way easier.
This little guy is a prototype for the first instalment of a home-craft project I'll be starting on here in a week or so. I'm going to make it bigger and awesome-er! I really can't wait. Do you print? Any tips to share?
That looks great! I used to do so many stencils when I was younger, where did you order these things from?
ReplyDeleteI actually got these from a Hobbycraft store! But you can get them on amazon
