Today I carved a tiny stamp – “Believe” I thought I might use it to add a little something to some ornaments that I am working on. I had originally made a thermofax screen of the word, believe. I test printed it and could not get it to print consistently.
The style of the mark may be too primitive to go with the style of the ornaments. But I was impressed that I could even carve such a small and detailed block.
Is it nice to have the confidence to just jump in and make a block, screen or stencil when I want a new design to play with.
I say give it a try! Just jump in and make the printmaking matrix that you need, be it a screen, a drawing, relief block or a stencil. You can do it!
