Your stamp is fantastic too! That was really your first carving? I am
really bad I fear. I think I'm recarving my effort for the exchange. I knew
scout dog's would look like a manufactured stamp, but ALL the stamps are so
great, and mine is, well, pitiful! So it's back to the drawing board,
eraser, and exacto for me.

NO EXACTO KNIVES! Catbead gave me some excellent carving advice -
and that was to avoid Exacto knives because she knew I'd cut my
fingers off.
I instead went out and bought Speedball carving tools (NO HANDLE)
number 1, 2, 3, 5, and the blade. Best thing I ever did.
I made my stamp by drawing the outline of a Magic Rub eraser on a
piece of paper. I then sketched in the symbol of the Methodist
Church. Then I colored in the sketch with a dark pencil. I pressed
the Magic Rub eraser onto the image. Then using the Speedball
carving tools, I whittled away all the white on the surface of the
eraser, and left the pencil transfered image alone. I didn't realize
how crude it was until I went to use it. What you see is my attempt
#4.
