eraser stamps
jenn and i chatted about carving eraser stamps months ago… she even bought us each a few to carve. and they sat in my drawer until last weekend.
painted fish studio doesn’t have a symbol/mark/picture as part of its identity. i prefer the simplicity of a logotype (a logo that consists of typography only). but i thought it’d be fun to carve a few fish that i can use to use when i mail packages, or to decorate notes and tags.
and by having a few different fish, i can pick which fish i want to use based on how i feel that day… modern? traditional? playful?
i used the same linoleum cutter that i use to carve blocks, and i didn’t take any photos while i was working on them. but if you need a tutorial, geninne‘s got an amazing one here.

I think the top one is my favorite. Is there no end to your creativity?

I love them! All of them. I’ve been wanting to make some stamps for a while now too. I actually have all the supplies sitting around waiting for me to have time/inspiration. Great link to Geninne’s!

Awesome! Obviously on my list as well, and I actually think I started one of a flower. Need an ink pad, and more hours in the day.
And, Jess, there is no end to Jen’s creativity… amazing.
