Craft Stamper – July 2019

Cosmic Carvings
Stamp designed and
carved by Molly Westcott
Consciously creating less waste has
always been an important aspect of my
business. With an ever growing scrap
pile of rubber and less and less space to
keep it, I decided to design a range of mini
stamps.
This celestially themed set is the first of a
few, moons and stars are an aesthetic that
I love and the simplicity of these shapes
lend perfectly to small scale carving. When
carving such small details, it’s important
to have a lot of light, this avoids harsh
shadows being cast on to your work. I also
find a pair of tweezers useful to remove
any small pieces of rubber that my gouges
can’t quite cut free.

“For a while now, sets
of stamps have been
something that I’ve wanted
to create. The catalyst for
these mini makes came
from a desire to put to
use the small scrap pieces
of rubber that gather, left
over from larger stamps.”
