Stamp

The way I created this project was by rolling a ball of clay out and pinching it so it would create a handle-type shape. Once I got the shape for my stamp right, I started to add my design of a flower. The way I did this, was by sketching out my flower design on my clay using a needle tool. Then I started to shave away and really carve out my design.

I decided to create a flower for my stamp because, flowers are so beautiful, and I wanted something beautiful to symbolize my work. I think the most successful part of my work was how easy it was to pick out and carve the excess pieces. This came super easy because of how flexible and soft the clay was. Something I would do differently is I would make my flower stick out a little more, and make it a bit more prominent. I would do this because it is a little difficult to get the full design out of it when I stamp it into the clay.
