Rubber Stamp Carving of

Famous Black Baseball Player,

Jackie Robinson.

One of his well known

quotes:

'The most luxurious posession,

the richest treasure anybody has,

is his personal dignity.

~ Jackie Robinson~ 

1912-1972

Went to see the movie '42' and was so inspired

by his story, even though the movie was not entirely accurate 

or inclusive, that I wanted to capture him in a rubber stamp carving.

I hope you like my effort!

Athena and Rubber Stamp Chocolate Bunny, They Go Together, Right?

This rubber stamp carving is of the 

Greek Goddess Athena. Her classic Greek

features, and fancy hair and ornaments were

fun to carve into a rubber stamp.

I can see myself wanting to carve a wood

block of this someday.

This little 'chocolate' bunny just popped

into my head one day and begged me to carve it!

So, being a lover of folk art, that is the style

I chose for this little hand carved rubber stamp.

Plus Easter and bunnies are a favorite

thing around my household.

Please stop by my etsy shop and take a look

at my unique hand carved stamps. Maybe I could

even create a special one for you!

Three New Carvings To Share

 This is an antique rail road lantern

that a customer wanted carved into a rubber stamp. 

I am always interested in carving something

new and different and I really like this image.

I like the holes at the top of the 

lantern, and all of the 

wire work is interesting. They also wanted 

initials carved into the glass globe.

 

Here is a hand carved rubber stamp of some 

Japanese Kanji.

I believe they say Good Luck, Prosperity and 

Long Life

 

These three 'Mid Century' cats were so much 

fun to carve into rubber stamps. I am a huge cat (dog's, too!) fan. 

But something about the 1950's and 1960's style just seems

to have a pull on me. The walking cat is after a silver 

pin that a dear cousin gave me when I was quite young. 

I must have liked it, even then,because 

I have saved it for many years!
