stamps & drawings

I've always admired Geninne Zlatkis's amazing stamp carving skills. I've tried my hand at making a few over the last couple years, and I've learned that you definitely have to have a steady hand. One false move and you wreck your entire design! I've only made a few, and I like doing it - I find it relaxing.

I recently carved some hexagons and thought I'd experiment with drawing over them. This is what happened:

Based this gal off a model from an old Anthropologie catalogue.

A corgi, of course.

I think I prefer when the stamp doesn't interfere directly with the drawing. Anyway, I'm not overly pleased with how they turned out, but I was just experimenting. I think this idea could be more interesting if I spent more time on it.
