How to do your own stamps

 Here we are again, this post will be a fast guide to help you with your first stamp. I must say that the main tutorial is linked and here you will find a general review of the materials, steps and examples.

 I think this could be a very interesting hobby to do many kind of decorations and ideas, also can be interesting to know how to do it. Not only you can apply it at paper also at fabrics, the only thing that it must change is the kind of ink to use.

So, what do we need to start? basically 3 things; some gouges, inks and something similar to an eraser (special for doing stamps or the normal eraser from always), you can get incredible designs, even if you are very good with your hands  and you can do delicate works you can change the gouge for a bisturi-gouge.
