Never thought I’d be attempting to make my own homemade stamps out of erasers, but here we are!

I read tutorials online and the process seemed straightforward enough, but boy, it’s harder than it looks. After eraser #3 I seemed to have it down, luckily the eraser packs were on sale in the school supply section of my local Walmart for 49 cents, so I’m not hurting too bad.

I can draw, that’s not the issue, nor is it the fact that I don’t have the proper tools, (currently using a cuticle trimmer…but hey it does the job) it’s my lack of patience. Seems to be my main hindrance, as it always has been. I want the final product and I want it done now, also I want it to look good, which doesn’t always pan out, hurried work doesn’t equate to quality work.

I suppose this is good practice for me to learn some much needed patience, toiling away, scraping erasers…that’ll work…right?
