Creating Lino Stamps

Hi everyone!

I feel a tidbit guilty about putting my manuscripts in the drawer. They needed a rest anyway. When the time comes, I’ll pull them out.

I’m into stamps, and I love them. I’ve been attending a few illustration classes that have inspired me to create new art.

I’ll share my sketches for the stamps and the results obtained after carving them out for this post.

I used both linoleum and speedy carve.

Under the Sea

Once I carve them out, I ink them and notice any imperfections that need attention.

Are you into stamps? Tell me about it in the comments.

Take care and stay safe.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love for writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.

  1. Wonderful! I LOVE stamps! But I’ve never made my own. I’d like to hop on a plane and come over to have you show me how. 🙂
