Stamp ideas…

I finally made some stamps!  So while we (my family of 3) were away on vacation this summer, I came up with some drawings in my art journal and proceeded to make them.  Making the stamps was like riding a bike–in art school one of the techniques I learned was how to make stamps with lino cut and woodblock.  Here are some pages to show you how I came up with the ideas and the actual stamps.

This page is the idea page.
