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. Thank you for reading and hoped you enjoyed.
