Christmas Stamp



My sister Mary and I got together to do some stamping the other night and I made this snowflake image. We used speedball speedy draw blocks to cut with, and had a bit of a hard time with the ink and figuring out how to get the consistency right. I think the uneven ink application makes a nice contrast with the tight carving of the snowflake lines though, and was happy with this one. The strange puckering of the ink seems to give it a frosty effect. Merry Christmas everybody!
