Hi and welcome back!
This blog post is going to be about the five clay stamps that I made over the past two days. I made a total of five clay stamps, two balls, one long branch, one square, and a shape with a round base and a long handle. Made out of the texture techniques of random object, added relief, and carved relief. One of the stamps that I personally think will work out the best is the one with the long handle that I glued circles arounds it. I think this will work best due to the fact that the circles are built out of the clay that appear deeply craft out that when press against a slack of clay will leave a deep imprint. However, the one that I feel like is going to work the worst is the square. The reason why is because I craved it out, not very deeply but instead lightly meaning that I feel like it won't make a huge impact the clay very much. The stamps that was harder for me to make were the one with the long handle and square with the stripes. It was hard for me to craft out the one with the handle because it simply took a lot of time to perfectly shape it like the photo from the clay stamps directions. The base kept rising up and bending in the direction that i didn't want. The second one, the square, was hard due to the carving in general. I carved out the stripes with a needle tool and carving the line out was difficult because I kept messing up and making the tiny boxes too small and not wide enough. Even though, I took most time on it out of the other four, it still turn out as the worse, in my opinion. However, the style that I thought was the easier to make were the two balls because all I needed to do was around out two large blobs of clay. It was also easier to make due to the fact that all I have to do for one was to press the tap of a marker and the other, I simply had to carve out with the end of a sharp tool. This is all that I have to say for this week but thank you for reading and hoped you enjoyed! Hi,
This is my first blog post ever and today I am going to talk about my experiences with practicing with clay stamps for the first time. We first practice with clay stamps from last years so that why we can get a feel to the stamps and have an idea on what work and what doesn't before we have to build on our. I used a total of four clay stamps; three of four worked perfectly for me today. My favorite was a ball covered in indented circles, it looked like a soccer ball. This stamp added perfect circle to my piece of clay that I could touch. The next one that worked perfectly was a piece of stamp that looked like a piece of coral from the darkest depth of the oceans. This piece added lines to my piece of clay that remained me of a branch of wood, covered in line from different piece of individual wood. The reason that I think that this two pieces worked so well was because they were indented well, I could feel each piece through my fingers and the stamp, itself, was perfectly to round around the clay. Whoever created these stamps pressed the pattern deeply into the stamps of clay. Also these stamps were easy to move around the clay, the first one was a ball so it was simple to round around the clay and get the indented in and the second one was a long piece that was also easy to round around the clay. The only that didn't work was a square piece covered in smaller square and it simply didn't show up on the piece of clay due to the pattern was too lightly pressed into the clay stamp, probably only once with the end of a tip as light and thin as a pencil. While the other stamps' pattern were more deeper pressed into the stamp of clay forcing the pattern to better appear on my own piece of clay. This practice will definitely impact my own clay stamps because now I know what work and what doesn't. Having a pattern deeply embedded into the stamps of clay will cause the pattern to show up against the clay better and also the stamp will have to be shaped in a way that is simply to roll around like a straight piece like a stick or a ball shaped.
