For #MarchMeetTheMaker , today is how it's done. Swipe right to see more pics. I thought I would show you some stamp carving. Coincidentally, I have a #tutorial for this up on the #website right now! See the steps in my tutorial right here: http://www.museofthemorning.com/museblog/2017/how-to-make-your-own-stamp/ Or click the link in my profile! #MarchMeetTheMaker2017

Raw materials today on #MarchMeetTheMaker . I'm not sure this counts exactly as raw materials, because I get the #woolfelt undyed and I felt it more, wash it and dye it before using it. I also usually dye the #woolyarn and #silkyarn . I use the felt in all sorts of projects, like #snugzdollz and #woolfelttoys. The yarn is mainly used for #dollhair, but I also sometimes weave with it. #MarchMeetTheMaker2017

I was trying to figure out which set of tools I should show you for today's #MarchMeetTheMaker .... I decided on stamp making tools, especially because I have a stamp making tutorial on the website next Tuesday. I use the standard speedball cutting blades because they're the smallest I can find, I've tried so many brands and types and these just work best for me. I use a these awesome vintage Speedball handles that I found at an estate sale. A stamp pass for testing as I carve, tracing paper and a burnisher for transferring designs, a small cutting mat for cutting on and of course the rubber #carvingblock. #MarchMeetTheMaker2017

I missed yesterday because of technical difficulties, so I'm catching up today. Here is my workspace for day #3 of #MarchMeetTheMaker This was our garage and I fully converted it into this room, with just a little help from my brother and hubby. It's my favorite room, so light and bright and inspiring! #MarchMeetTheMaker2017
