rubber stamp carving links for margaret

Sorry this took so long. These have all been checked for actual existence and usefulness. (The Fortune City site has pop up ads that hurt.) You may want to start with the white plastic erasers, because their thickness makes them easier to handle when you're beginning. Soft printing blocks are a good deal cheaper, however, and some are of a thickness comparable to that of erasers.

I have a sudden urge to mutilate all my erasers.

I don't know if the mention it, but there's a technique learned for rubber stamp carving. Photocopy you image, then transfer the image to the rubber by rubbing the back of the photocopy with a blender pen (or other solvent, nail polish remover works in a pinch). Now you have an image outline to carve out. Cool, uh.

Sorry I'm so late with my gratitude. Been without internet and stuck in grandmother's living room for the time being. Kill me. You'll be doing me a favor.
