  • You're the man!..Thanks......

  • Thank you. I will try to make leather stamping designs and personal logos... I've used wood and lino media... Checkingbinto lead molds, but THIS process seems Awesome for 'stamping' into soft 8-12 oz vegtaned leather tooling projects...:)

  • Wow.  Amazingly simple and effective. Thank you so much!

  • the clay imprint technique just works wonders, now I can see what type of shape I have with out washing over with a washable dark color. thanks for the upload.

  • This is great thank you very much. Will the stamp get distorted or melt over time if I were to use it as a wax seal stamp?? Please advise.

    

  • @SuchaCaligrrl Sorry for the delay in my reply. No there is no reason why it would distort or melt. I would recommend that you use something to create a seal over the clay before using it as a wax stamp, otherwise the wax is likely to stick to the clay. Perhaps an oil rubbed into the surface?

    Mark.

  • @brookfieldpottery No problem, I actually tried it. However I did changed a few ways on how to do it but the result is of course the same. I will have to say that I'm very pleased, I also sprayed with pam (non stick spray) just to prevent the wax from sticking... and I will have to say that it worked marvelously. thank you so much for the idea. You do not know how much money this has saved me.

  • I use a similar technique to make sprig molds. I cast smooth plaster and carve deeply into the plaster so the whole design is below the original flat surface. Then I press in the clay, use a cheese cutter to trim level to the flat surface and use a coil to pull the sprig, score, slip and stuck to my pot.

  • Great description. Wedgewood jasper ware is a classic range using that technique.

    I'm thinking of making a sprig mold seal for my larger pieces, giving them a medieval look.

  • By far and away the easiest way to make stamps I've seen so far.

  • This video made my week. Seriously. I never would have thought of doing this, so simple yet brilliant. I was reluctant to make my stamp because I was taught to do so on the clay directly, I'm prone to messing up easily lol.

  • Thank you. Isn't it strange how simple some things can turn out to be. I only used this method to make my stamp because it is a technique I used in my sculpture when working on small detailed pieces.

    Mark.
