Carved stamps

When I think of patterned repetition,  I think of die cuts and carved stamps.  I cannot make die cuts, but I can carve my own stamps :-)

I like to carve objects and words, but some of my favorite stamps come about randomly.

From yesterday's art journal entry:

Intentional and random stamps

I had to tell myself to "Stop" making stamps and complete the day's page or I would never get to the five (oy) paintings I have been working on.
