How to carve home made stamps.

[@jay-el-bee]

I love that you're interested in so many things and willing to take us along with you! I love them all! So cool! Thanks!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Enjoy watching you draw and carve your own designs. I try to carve pictures that are cute, think would be good as stamp. Your right its very relaxing doing crafting.

[@kathyarbour]

LOL I am so like you, that's why I call myself a mixed media artists and started a KZbin channel also. I am retired now but still can't find enough time. Thanks for sharing your passions.

[@thecreativecove6898]

I have to make time. If I don’t get to create I go crazy 😜 lol

[@cathyquilts2609]

Thanks for the real time demo, geesh, another genre of supplies I must now try…. Love your fearless channel, found you through the watercolor doodles, stayed for the relaxing excitement of new techniques you try. 🪲🎨✂️

[@thecreativecove6898]

Awesome! Thank you!😊

[@trinapatterson8872]

I’m an art teacher and I do an advanced project with my high school students like this. I think all of the little imperfections as you call them give these print character. I’m so glad you made this video it’s great to see someone showing how fun and relaxing it can be to create your own stamps. Great job

[@Usdukes]

So fun watching this carving! They all turned out wonderful! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@Avinmor]

You. Are. Amazing. God loves creativity in His children. When you bring home your report card and He sees an A+ in Art, He’s happy and hangs it on the Universe for everyone to see. Oh, and you never bug me (I had to say it). You should put the give button on your KZbin for tips or what have you. Who knows, you could get enough for a computer. I’d give you a tip. If everyone who subscribed to you gave a tip you could get one. Of course, I don’t know how KZbin works, so it’s easy for me to say. Blessings!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊 that’s very kind of you

[@mezufall]

I always enjoy your videos! I especially love when the theme is bugs. I am a fellow bug lover. I dabble in a bunch of different creative hobbies as well.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks for sharing!!😊

[@allisonjames2923]

A handy tip to help make figuring out the positive & negative a bit more easily, is to actually cover the stamp surface with a different coloured ink (something that dries quickly) before you start carving. That way you can see what you carve away & what remains better.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Great tip. Thank you 😊

[@sueallen952]

@allisonjames2923 but then how do you draw the design on over the ink please

[@MagdalenaMantler]

@@sueallen952 If you take a pink or lighter colour you can draw over it with pencil etc still.

[@rital3406]

You did an amazing job with these stamps! And, as we know, nature has its imperfections as we do, which adds organic and realistic beauty. Thank you for sharing!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

So glad I subscribed, am learning so much from you. I love the real-time myself. Thanks so much!

[@cathycirina-chiu6972]

yes, i'm always trying new hobbies and collecting more supplies. and looking for ways to organize them!!! :) i love your videos

[@Cs-ry3fx]

I love Entomology as well. Your carvings are lovely. thank you for showing us. Seems really fun❤ I like you do different things. I get bored too and it's fun to learn new things and techniques.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks for watching!😊

[@sibylleherbe8260]

This was fascinating. I’m glad you couldn’t speed things up. Beautiful stamps.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!

[@KazWinchester]

I love to see the processe, it's relaxing,

[@thecreativecove6898]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you😊

[@beckyransom5504]

Love the size of these. They look great. I always enjoy your videos.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks so much! I really love the impact the size has. 😊

[@Veronim78]

You are so talented. Loved watching the process on how to carve your own stamps. Love your bugs. I am like you I get bored also if doing the same thing and done a few different crafts in my life time. Thank you for sharing.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!😊

[@CarolineontheHillside]

You are amazingly gifted…love all your hand carved stamps. LOVE 💗

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!😊

[@emilylaidlaw798]

Very cool! Love them. I actually like seeing the process in real time. It’s really helpful when I’m trying to follow along with you. Thanks so much.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DutchOrcaArt]

Lovely video! I've always wanted to try making my own stamps but I always thought it was complicated but after watching your video I have ordered some supplies and I'm gonna try it! So thank you!

[@thecreativecove6898]

That’s awesome have fun!!

[@OMGSardina]

I am 100% like you. No time, easily bored, and many, many interests and hobbies. lol I will make jewelry one week, then make handmade cards, then perhaps alcohol ink paintings, the occasional acrylic paint painting. Then I'll see someone make a paper box and want to make boxes. The only thing I've tried but can't stick with is crocheting and sewing. It's so hard...my brain can't get it. 😂 Thanks for your channel, I really enjoy it. Hugs from Miami.

[@jodinicholas890]

I love your channel. Ceri the Crafter loves watching and talking about you. He was so excited to use your bug stamps. I am really enjoying your bugs much more than real ones.

[@theresapalmer7892]

I have these supplies and was afraid to use them. Now I'm gonna try this, your tips are so helpful. TY

[@thecreativecove6898]

Yes! Go for it. Just keep your fingers out the way and have fun!

[@avanellehansen4525]

These are FABILOUS!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you😊

[@ChiquitasCrochet]

I call it squirreling lol too like to learn different arts,, this is very soothing even watching you carve 🥰

[@angelinamichelle8474]

Cool to watch. Thankyou for sharing.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks for watching😊

[@lydiemonin977]

You are awesome .Bravo 😊❤ Oleron island France

[@thecreativecove6898]

Wow, thank you. Merci!

[@nelviamcgrath6929]

Perfect timing Just got my kit of tools and pink sheets from Amazon. So glad to see again how you achieved your stamps. Sure enjoy your explorations.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Wonderful! Thank you 😊

[@erlindaarmijo5876]

WOW I didn't know what you were talking about craving out bugs hahahah but I love your bugs so big great job.

[@thecreativecove6898]

😊 thank you

[@dawnrybchynski4073]

I realized a few years ago that all the moving from thing to thing and being "quickly bored" with my hobies is because my REAL hobby is Learning and Experimenting. Usually something artsy. When I told my family, they were all much happier with me and so was I.

[@annlane1358]

Looks like so much fun! I tend to jump from one craft to another, all good fun! Thank you so much for sharing, take care x

[@thecreativecove6898]

I’m exactly the same lol 😊

[@greenmacaroni8872]

Those stamps are too cool! I love how they look and of course never thought of making big hugs like that, lol! Thank you for sharing, I have to give this a try. Julie 🥰

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks so much!

[@ideastimestwo3522]

You're a gal after my own heart...I love to make everything!! Love your channel and your work. Amazing!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!

[@mariawhiddon]

Wow! Brilliant!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@suebrown7882]

Great unique stamps! Your tip about starting with a line down the centre really helped me when i tried the watercolour beetle yesterday! Mine used to often end up very lop-sided - but much more symmetrical now. I also try lots of different crafts (via KZbin) and getting poorer - but having fun!!

[@patriciadistefano7467]

I do not like bugs, but I have to say your carvings make them look cute. LOL! Thank you so much. I just started carving stamps so this video has been great and so informative. New subscriber here and love your channel.

[@jnordfors]

This would be great for an entomology junk journal! TFS ❤❤❤

[@thecreativecove6898]

Great idea!

[@mar-louisemyburgh7030]

It looks like lots of fun! Your stamps look supper cool. Thank you so much!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks so much!

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Wow! I'm so impressed with your bug creations! You are extremely talented Michelle!🎉❤

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

I have made my own stamps from dollar store erasers and tools. I LOVE how your bugs turned out ☺♥

[@thecreativecove6898]

That is awesome!😊

[@shirleylum2198]

i really love them!

[@thecreativecove6898]

[@beckymeldrum7022]

I love your tutorials! Thank you!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@cynthiarollins3949]

You should sell these…I see Tim Holtz in those stamps. Very good🥰

[@shadowcat6832]

Omg I love them all so much!! I’ve been getting into lino cutting recently but I need to get more blade sizes, this is great inspo tho and makes me wanna make so many prints!!

[@thecreativecove6898]

That’s awesome. 😊

[@purewordcreations]

This was super cool. Thanks for sharing your process.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you😊

[@katfyte]

I enjoy real time making videos.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Good to hear! Thank you😊

[@sweetpeabarbe]

I really like that you do not speed up nor edit your videos. We get to see the whole process which editing sometimes omits that one simple boring step that we may need.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you. There are times I do wish I had editing software. However it’s kind of you to say that it’s not needed 😊

[@helenf2606]

Wonderful! You are very talented. I love the bee one.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@alysonhovanec6314]

How awesome! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@coni9259]

I absolutely love love love your videos. Thank you for your content. I have started drawing again, after years of not picking up a pen or pencil. I watched your last video and drew bugs with you. Then I looked up someone else who drew bugs. I ran across John Muir Laws. I believe he is an entomologist. He was mentioning how he was drawing bugs that were specimen and how the people that pin the specimen don't put them in the positions the bug are in life. They pull out the legs so they are symmetrical and fold down the antennas so more specimens will fit in their cases. Maybe you should check him out too, see what you think! Thanks again for everything you do. I appreciate you.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Will do thank you 😊

[@Ginger_McElfresh_Art]

Interesting

[@idalujan3571]

Speed ball has a slanted platform to put your rubber you are carving so it doesnt slip. I saw a brand new one at Goodwill and should have bought it but didn't.

[@sueallen952]

Loved the bugs!!! Going to have a go, just a fyi the sound was strange lt sounded like you were in a tin can 😅 have just found you and have subscribed

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@beejayem42]

🐨👍

[@laracraft82]

I dabble a bit in everything too because it is fun like you say that is the joy of art as you try new things. Could you use air dry clay instead of lino to make your own stamps as sounds such a brilliant project? Great job especially the butterfly 🦋 hugs xx

[@thecreativecove6898]

Not sure. I’ve never tried that I suppose air dry clay would work for a stamp I would just be concerned about it braking once it dries

[@laracraft82]

@@thecreativecove6898 that is a good point actually as yes would get brittle over time, I have just brought some cold pressed wax from Etsy (fantastic for texture which I love in my art as can use it with paints) so maybe try and stop that from happening as you seal, heat it with a heat gun 🤷‍♀️ have to see I guess lols cheers for replying luv hugs xx

[@PattyMoor3]

Very cool. Is there nothing you can't do, and do well??? I also like to try a bit of everything I keep meaning to carve linoleum blocks or erasers, but I am in the middle of 10 other things for an upcoming craft fair. I always enjoy watching the process. I hope you don't get the ability to speed up your videos anytime soon.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@cathyquilts2609]

Please add a monetized link if you are able, I like credit to go to tge artist who turned me on to new supplies!!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you. I will try but not very tech savvy lol

[@abailey4226]

Hi! Can you link what you used from Amazon or give the name? Thank you!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Will do

[@abailey4226]

@thecreativecove6898 I found them but thank you!! 😊

[@cathycirina-chiu6972]

p.s. i don't think it is tedious to watch at all. it helps me learn.
