My newest hobby (my sister got me hooked) is carving my own rubber stamps. As always, when I start a new art project, I bought a bunch of supplies and requested all the library books I could find. Tagged one came in first and is genuinely useful. #crafts #stamps #tools

Clwojick Love it! Have you tried wood burning? I feel like you would enjoy it if you‘re enjoying this. 5y
AlaMich Well done! I tried it once years ago and discovered that it‘s harder than it looks. But I‘d like to try again one of these days. 5y
Tianarose Lovely! My mom used to do this when I was a kid, brings back memories 🥰 5y

emtobiasz @Clwojick I haven‘t! I‘m intrigued by it, though! This is my first foray back into crafting in a few years. 5y
Tamra Very pretty! 5y
emtobiasz @Tianarose @AlaMich thanks! My sister has gotten really good, so I‘m still working to see if I can get to her level. It‘s definitely harder than it looks, but also one of those things you still kind of want to look handmade. Good for toning down my perfectionist tendencies. 5y
