DIY Stamps

 While fooling around on Pinterest, I got inspired to make some stamps.  Been a while since I've carved up a batch, which means: I can no longer locate any of the rubber or lino materials.  So I looked around on my desk and saw some soft foam that had been used in packaging something important.  A few cuts with the box cutter, and voila!  Cat stamps!  The top part was before I poked the foam with a ballpen to make eyes (as seen on the bottom four).




Then it hit me that all the stamps I had made before, I've never made a skull stamp.  Nary a one!  A problem which had to be rectified.  Eraser meets X-acto knife equals a couple of skulls.  An 'X' cut from a foam sheet and stuck to a plastic bottle cap completes the set.
