Homemade rubber stamps

Today I made a few new rubber stamps. I love how imperfectly aesthetic they are. Usually I need 2 o 3 tries to have something acceptable. Charm +10 points! Useful, unique and feel alive.The diamond one is an older piece. I’m amazed at the patience (and eyesight!) my past self had when he made it.The gouge I used is quite big and not too sharp. I’ve discovered the tip of a mechanical pencil does lines great, and then polishing it a little bit with a knife.Little mystery in the first try is exciting and the whole process is super fun.
