Make Lounge – Rubber stamping

Rubber stamp workshop
I took my second class at the Make Lounge this weekend – a festive rubber stamping workshop led by Louise Best.

my first rubber stamp
Like the first class, it was a heap of fun as well as being very informative and creative. The process was easier than I expected, using the special tools to carve our designs into the surprisingly soft rubber, then mounting the stamps onto wooden handles.

I left with four hand-made rubber stamps and the beginnings of yet another new hobby. I’m going to use the stamps to make all my gift tags and wrapping paper for Christmas.

    I'm so jealous that you live close to the Make Lounge. I wish we had stuff like that here, in California!

    Makes me want to live in London even more than I already do (went in May. LOVED IT!)

    Oh Oh stamping is very addictive – it starts with a shoe box and grows very quickly – lovely stamps though – birdie is cute
