I have been transferring a lot of my craft hoard supplies from one space to another and organizing/purging as I go. In the back of the old craft closet, I found a bin with supplies for stamp carving and was reminded of a project I had planned in 2015 which in turn reminded me of this project that I actually did in 2015.
I made this for TheMisterT who has a big book collection. I had commissioned a weasel riding a bear drawing from a friend for another project for him and reused that for the stamp. The background is a notable mountain crag formation in our area.
I found a wood-mounted stamp at a thrift store about the same size and used that wood to mound this on and found a box that it would fit in with a black ink pad.
@Bunny1kenobi Yesterday, I actually got to reorganizing the tote with the stamp carving stuff and while going through it found the original of this AND another one that I’d forgotten I’d made for a friend. I think I’ll try to find those pics so I can post that one, too.
Omg a weasel riding a bear, I love it!! I got into doing linography when I was a young teen and this really makes me want to get back into it, I guess it’s another thing to add to the crafts to do list that I’ll probably never get to I agree with wittychild, TheMisterT really does get the coolest stuff!!
Aw, thanks! I am lucky that my man enjoys not only handmade things, but the ones I can make! I know that your crafts to do list is not up for vote, but I’m voting for you taking up linography again anyway!
