new from the kiln and new carving

 I carved this 6x6 inch stamp to use with clay.  I was thinking trivet or tile or whatever.  see more below.

 New little plates!!

 The tile below was impressed with the rubber stamp and then painted over with black underglaze.  Then I took a piece of steel wool and went over the high points to bring out the image.

 With this time I inked the stamp with black underglaze and impressed it into the clay.  The lines are much lighter and gives it a softer kinda gray look.  Both applications work but I do think I like the one above better.
