Let's get carving again....

I just became active on SB again after quite a long break & I'm dying to carve a stamp!

For this swap, we'll make 1 hand-carved stamp based on your partner's profile. This is sender's/carver's choice, but please make a stamp you think your partner would like to have.

Please use a quality carving medium; mounting the stamp is not required, but you can if you like.

Size: The carved stamp should be around 2x2 inches. It doesn't have to be square, as long as its nearly 2 inches long or 2 inches wide, or larger. (So it can be 1x2" or even 1 1/2x 1 1/2 inches.) At least the size of a large postage stamp or bigger!

We all have different skill levels and carving styles, so just do your best to make something your partner will enjoy.

I'm giving 10 days to sign up & over 3 weeks to make/send your stamp. Plenty of time so don't be intimidated! Open to all HCS members in good standing. I'll check profiles before assigning partners. PM me with any questions/concerns.

I have these really great large-size erasers I like to use. They carve so well and stamp so great. Would that be an acceptable medium? I hope so because I'd love to join this swap!!! Thanks!

That would be fine. They sound great!

Yay! Joining now. I have a few pictures of my stamps on my flickr if anyone is interested in viewing. Looking forward to meeting my partner and carving something new.
