Hedgehogs



The individual hedgehogs were drawn on my tablet.
They were then combined to make a repeat pattern for a Spoonflower contest.

Nail Buffer Stamp and Collages


Have you ever used nail buffers like the one above with the red background - don't throw them away when they are worn out - they can be used for mark making stamps. And four usable sides means four different patterns.  I used a 'dead' pen to score a pattern with, a craft knife to cut a pattern and make lines, and an awl for the dotty one.
More pages from sketchbook 12 - watercolour and wax backgrounds, found images

Three collages above - watercolour backgrounds and wax crayon, found images, some altered.
It has been a while since I posted any rolling stamp ideas, but now Cloth, Paper Scissors have released a free eBook download
called "The Workshop: Roll Out the Backgrounds" and you get four articles about art stamps and stamp carving which includes my article on the rolling stamps.
Some ideas for you to try
