In response to the messages from Ann T. and Amanda
Briles, I offer the following;
I use a standard Speedball #2 only. Ruthann is
quite correct in her statement of the use of
a bold type. I used Comic Sans Bold Italic for the
Lake Compounce series. It offered my children an
easy clean type to carve. I just helped get them
started with the right amount of pressure.
Just print out what you like from your computer and
then go over it with a #2 pencil real dark.
Transfer this to your stamp block by rubbing from
the back side of the paper.
The pencil lead will transfer to the
block and you are ready to carve.
I know the stamps are fairly plain compared to some
of the ones we have found
(Drew Clan's "Barb & Larry's Ledge" for
example) but for our first ones I thought the KISS method
was the best.
There you have it. My secrets are out.
See you all Sunday!!!
