Worst StampBest StampIn order to print a stamp like this, you would need to first gather tools such as a carving tool, a linolium block, black ink, paper, a pencil, a paint roller, and a flat metal stand. First you would sketch out the piece you want to carve, then picture where you want the ink to show and where you don't want it to show. After that, you take your sketch and cover the whole back of it in pencil. Flip it right side up and place on top of your linolium block, start to trace your sketch. Now your sketch will show up on the block. You can now start carving out the places where no ink will show. After you are finished carving take your flat metal stand and put a teaspoon of black ink on it. Start to roll out the ink with your roller until it starts to sound sticky. Then, you can use your roller on top of the carved parts of your linolium block. Once completely covered, take a piece of paper about an inch wider and taller than your block and press it on top of your linolium block. Keep pressing and then once you feel its completely done, remove the paper to reveal your stamp print! I incoporated lines into my piece in the background (which represents the fog in this photo) and in the character's hair and face a bit. What I found most successful about my piece was that it looks like the characters from the X-files that I was trying to capture. I based this stamp off of a photo of the two characters from the show. I also like how the hair and face turned out for the character on the left, Mulder.
If I were to do this again I would change Scully's face slighty as her eyebrows are thinner and eyes are a bit different. I would also be more careful, because I cut into places I didn't want to a couple times.
