Prop + generosity 🎁

I made stamps for everyone!

I first made a digital version of what I wanted the stamps to look like. There was no real meaning behind each stamp, I just tried to remember what people have mentioned that they are interested in or just things that reminded me of them. 

Then these were transferred onto rubber to be carved 

this is a time lapse (if it works ?) of the stamp carving, I thought it would be fun to see the progress throughout. 

then the wood was cut to size and the design was stamped on the back with regular printing ink. (not that I did this on purpose but its redwood which is native to my hometown)

the actual designs were glued onto the wood as the final product. 

I asked everyone to stamp their own on each others paper so they would all be different 

this has probably been my favorite project so far, I tend to give things to people as a love language (specifically handmade things) so was nice to do that on a larger scale :)
