I started with a banner(tiny -- cut from an eraser). I plan to stamp it on to tags.
Then I graduated to doing a portrait of my puppy. It is very "Andy". Especially the movement created with those uncut lines in the background. (This one is made from soft cut linolem. It's about 2"x3"
After the girls left, I was still itching to do more, so I tried a self portrait. Oops, I cut the line away that was the side of the neck. But I'm still pretty happy with it. I'll try some more this weekend.....

Beautiful work! I love carving rubber stamps...it's sort of amazing to start with a block and then get a cool image in the end to reuse!
Wow they turned out so amazing! Have a great Easter weekend!

Love your carvings, especially the Andy and your self portrait. I remember doing linoleum prints in high school but haven't tried to carve my own stamps since then. Although I have all the materials and tools.
As my mother used to say: "Super darling!" You make me want to get back to carving. (Not that I ever did that much).
Love them! I've gotta have a go.....

You did very well; I'm really impressed. The last time I tried this, I cut more out of me than out of the eraser.
I LOVE Andy! Both the carving and the real doggie.
The face is fab too. That's what I wanted to carve but I chickened out... must try it soon. (who cares about the neck; it still looks great).
I LOVE LOVE the sp handcarved stamp...I have always wanted to do one.You inspire me
What a roll you were on. I love the self portrait - as well as your other two masterpieces. Happy long weekend and Easter! xo
