finally got around to carving some eraser stamps this summer!! ive wanted to try my hand at linocut for the longest time and it was actually a ton of fun :D
Image dump time!! Here's a collection of little things I have been working on. Those black boots I painted/embroidered was the last project I was working on before I got covid :(
But I had the opportunity to work on a few smaller things while I was recovering! I am doing better now, I am quarantining for a little longer just to be careful 💚
[Image ID: The first image is of a little fishbone stamp I made out of an old eraser. It's a little messy looking and I used red ink to stamp it onto paper.
The next two images are of a rectangular white cotton patch, with a red vertical line on the side and about 15 blue horizontal lines throughout it with a blank gap at the top, mimicking notebook paper. This project is unfinished currently.
The next three images are of a headband with foam antlers I painted to look as realistic as I could, and both antlers are wrapped with leaf ribbon and wire-stemmed pink and white flowers. There's a little fake bird glued to the top of the right antler.
The last two images are of a flowery pillowcase that I mended using little squares of scrap cotton fabric underneath, with visible stitching throughout it to secure the entire patch onto the pillowcase. The hole I mended was about the size of a penny I think. End ID]
Could you by any change make Rage Against The Machine or TOOL(band) themed blinkies/stamps!
thank you!
hey! tysm 4 your request. i don't know much about either of these bands, theyre a bit outside of my niche, but these were fun to make regardless! i hope i did them justice :)
This Marbled Monday we're sharing volume 5 from a ten volume set of The Plays of William Shakespeare with the Corrections and Illustrations of Various Commentators to Which Are Added Notes by Samuel Johnson and George Steevens with an Appendix. This edition was published in 1773. Volume 5 contains the plays King John, King Richard II, King Henry IV Part I and Part II.
The marbling is (I think) a Turkish pattern with black, yellow, red, and grey on a blue-green field. There is some really nice tooling around the inner edges of the binding as well as on the spine. It was really difficult to get a good image of the spine because the leather is so mottled and the gold is so delicate, but in the last picture shown here you can see the beautiful roses and designs stamped on it.
Today's #ToolingTuesday is LJS 264. It was written in France, ca. 1400, and the binding is 16th-century calf over boards, blind-stamped and -tooled, center armorial medallion of Benoît de Court (3 5-pointed stars on a shield enclosed by a wreath).
