I’ve made a few fabric trays out of burlap from Reverse Garbage and fabrics that I got from Sham Shui Po.

And some other crafty creations:)

Mounting hand carved rubber stamps onto wooden block is so simple – it’s almost embarrassing to call it a tutorial :D

I was bored the other night after work, not having a clue how to pass the time, I took my rubber block and carving tools out and started carving. I remembered seeing this old typeface on another blog, so I ended up carving my initial using a vintage style font.

My copy of Lena Corwin’s Printing by Hand finally arrived!! I was so excited*v* I ordered it a while ago from Book Depository, but they had to back order so it took a while.

It finally showed up on my doorstep, just in time for the weekend. I was going to do more stamp carving, but decided to read the book first!!

Lately I am very into stamp carving, I went all around Sydney trying to buy all the tools I need for my stamp carving project! And finally today I’ve got everything that I need to get started :D I am just a beginner, but I want to show you how I did it. And if you know a better way of doing it, please do tell me!^^
