Lettuce stamp

[geekgirl]

I carved a lettuce stamp for use in another project.
I find it much easier to carve out the lines and leave the body than vice versa.

I love it! I agree that it’s so much easier to carve out lines than think about carving out the opposite. It’s like drawing backwards when you have to do it the other way.
This is adorable!!!

And then your leaves can be green w/o extra coloring!

I have no doubt you’ll get lots of use out of this, haha. It came out great!

So cute! Add me to the Chorus of Agreement - I find it both mentally and physically easier to cut away the lines.

That is such a fantastic idea. I wish I would have done that for my stamp. My brain just doesn’t work like that. I am going to try to attempt it on a stamp though. You’ve inspired me with how awesome this one turned out.

I never really thought about it but I think my brain works more like yours…probably why I am really bad at anything 3-D…like clay…I can’t seem to “see”…but like you, I am going to give it a try…cut away the lines seems easier than cutting away like a sculpture…lol

Love the lettuce, @geekgirl…and yes, lots of uses for this one…

I don’t think it would work for everything but for small stamps where you don’t mind it all being the same color it works pretty good!

Turned out great! What did you use for the carving?

[geekgirl]

I used a speedball carving tool.

This is great!

I like to color with water soluble markers to get different colors on a stamp. It gives a water color like appearance.

[JoyfulClover]

Yes, I agree on the line carving.
