The head image itself is 3cm x 3cm and the whole stamp is 4cm x 10cm. Usually I will test out the completed carving several times to see where I should correct the carving. Sometimes, during this stage, I'd carve more than I should and the stamp doesnt come out the right way. What do we do then? Restart of course. Masa tu akan rasa macam nak strangle diri sendiri.
With stamps like the above, I'd prefer to use the ink cubes (VersaCraft, VersaColor, Encore - all by Tsukineko) because we can apply the cube directly on the stamp, assuring the ink covers the stamp surface. If we are using a normal office stamp pad, we'll need more effort.
There is also the option to separate the above stamp into 4 different stamps but that would take up more time, raw materials and effort. We'll also need more time to stamp the images and align them properly later.
Mounted or Unmounted?
Mounted means with handle (mine is always wood). Some of my eraser stamps do not require a handle simply because the eraser is thick enough to be held directly by hands. Below is an example:
The cube is my VersaColor inkcube in Sky Gray, water-based pigment ink.
Hmm... I was in Spore earlier this week. It rained heavily and flooded Orchard Rd. Plus, I caught the flu. Yesterday I fell asleep at the wheels driving to and fro work. Dangerous. So today I'm on MC.
Have a good and blessed Friday everyone :)

Hi :)Hope you are all good and standing tall. Euphoria Craftwork is not resuming operation any time soon. I'm currently looking at other business models that would minimize my carving hours and my use of electrical handheld machines. Future product: Custom-size rubberstamps (machine-produced)
