Carve the Stripe Stamps

Photo: Kate Pullen
Carve the detail stamps as required. The detail stamps will be stamped onto the larger stamp so it will not matter if the stripes are too long. I carved two stripes together. This gave me the flexibility to alter the stripe pattern. Carving more stripes would have reduced the number of ways that I could place the stripes, while carving a single stripe would have been too fiddly for me to work with. Experiment and see what works best for you!
