Hubby cooked Polynesian Hamburgers (pineapple & teriyaki) and hotdogs on the grill last night, which got me out of most of the cooking. I’d been looking through the old crusades that I missed at Green Pepper Press and Crusade # 18 was to cut your own rubber stamp. I had a little corner of the rubber stuff leftover from my last stamp cutting, so while I waiting for the sweet potato fries to bake, I carved this stamp hand stamp. It’s a little over 2 1/2″ long. I might get some more rubber (or whatever this stuff is called) and make the matching hand. I don’t really do a lot of stamping, but I’d like to have more hand-carved ones to use in my journals. So far, I’ve got this hand, a big flying fish, a bee (for my name, Melisa) a puppy, and a little face.
OMGosh that is go-geous! You are a tres-talented carver! Oh my, I’m… verklempt! xoxo
Melisa – terrific carving! Thanks for sharing with the team, and for the reminder to make our own tools. Well done!
Whoa, way cool! I like that one. And you did such a good job! I have trouble trying to carve that much detail.
All I can say – I am like so IMPRESSED!!!! My carved stamps do not look this good. WOW. Marlynn
I really, really like this stamp. I’ve got to try this one of these days.
I love making my own tools, it makes everything so much more original. I really like your hand stamp, well done!

Omigosh, your hand is too cool! Don’t let Michelle see it, she’ll want it! LOL Very cool, can’t wait to see what you do with it!
This is SOOO much better than a purchased stamp! Just love how you have done it. It should make a very nice addition to your journaling.
Best-

Oh this is so cool! Great job on the hand! I need to get back to carving some of my own!
