When I got back from my trip my boyfriend had 3 presents for me. I sure was surprised. He got me a kit with a seal and sealing wax, a tiny marblelized journal, and 4 pirate skeleton beads. The seal is of a harp to go with my last name 'harper'. So now I have more things to add to my art journal. So many things go well with rubber stamping. It truly does lend itself to mixed media. He showed me a tutorial on using the stamp and the guy said to lick the stamp first before pressing it in hot wax so it will release better. Never tried that one before. Not exactly sanitary...lol.
Somewhere from years ago I bought sealing wax and seals. I wonder where those got off too?
Did you know you can make your own stamps out of things like potatoes? That's a little messy so here are stamps I made out of erasers and eraser-like carving material. If you start at the beginning, I have a build-along so you can see just how to do it yourself. All blog photos and content Copyright Fayme Harper 2014
