Patterning with a Stamp

Stamp Isabel 2
In one block I’m currently working on, there is a shirt that has a butterfly pattern on it. I decided to cut a little stamp from an eraser. I used the stamp to create the shirt pattern on the block. To cut the eraser I used an exacto knife and my main v-gouge. For ink I used a little hobby store stamp pad. The cut butterflies are all somewhat uniform, but with slight variations from the cutting. I think it will be pretty cool!
