Come carve along with me! ( the tutorial itself is on my journal - it's too large to upload as one giant string of pictures )

Caring for your stamps:
After each use remember to clean your stamp as soon as you can.

Run them under the tap (faucet) under warm water, then blot them on a serviette (napkin – now you can learn Aussie terms too!). If ink prints off, wash them again and stamp on the serviette some more, repeat until no more ink comes off.

NEVER RUB ACROSS THE SURFACE OF YOUR STAMP! This can break off details.

If you use a strong colour like black or red, sometimes the ink will stain your stamp. Don’t worry – if you clean it properly it won’t transfer the next time you use it, just the rubber will be stained. It’s the sign of a well-used stamp!

Leave on a clean dry serviette to dry, then store your stamps in an air-tight container with the carving facing up.
If you follow these steps your stamps should last a long time!

I hope you enjoyed learning about how I carve my stamps! I’d love to see pictures of any stamps you make, or answer any questions you have about my tute or stamp-carving in general, so please don't be shy!
