#CarveDecember is Inspiring (and hurting my hand)

You guys, #CarveDecember is just knocking my socks off.  People are making some *amazing* stamps!!  Before I share some (and there are so many, I really had to pick just a few) of the fantabulous stamps that other people have carved, here's what I've made for days 4-10:

I made a custom colored ink pad for this one.  Here's the print below:

I carved a new set of number stamps for my art journal.  These are about half the size of the my old ones.  They're teeny tiny!

This set just about killed me.  I should have done it over several days instead of all in one shot.  Nonetheless, I love them!  So much so...

...that I used them right away in my art journal!  You can see the size of the stamps a little bit better in the photo above, since my hand is there for scale.

This was a crafty experiment. I wanted to see if I could carve a basic face that would act as a guideline for creating multiple faces, but not dictate the final result.  You can see that I got three very different looking girls from my stamp!

And now onto some amazing stamps from others!
