Clay Stamp

Artist Statement: This stamp project is a useful item for future projects, being able to sign my pieces all with one tool. This was a frustrating project to make, I kept messing up on making the details for my "w" I wanted to carve out the middle but keep the edges, I used a hook-like tool to to carve out the middle , but like I said I kept messing up on the details. at first I carved the clay too deep, then too thin, it took a few tries to get it right. I am happy with my choices while making this piece, I like how the border surrounds the W and I think it adds a completed look to the stamp, I think it helps show that the stamp is the the "signature" of my work.
