I did <a href="https://inktober.com/rules">Inktober</a> a few times, but I realized I don&rsquo;t like the pressure of a daily drawing challenge.</p> <p>I found out there&rsquo;s an October challenge to carve a stamp out of a pink eraser every day. I got a set of carving tools earlier this year but haven&rsquo;t made many stamps. So this is a good opportunity to practice. But I&rsquo;m still not going to shoot for every day.</p> <p>Day 1&rsquo;s prompt is fish.</p> <p><img src="https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/175265/2025/2025-10-fish.png" alt="A hand-carved stamp of a fish. The stamped image is in black ink on a small notebook page. The stamp is carved from a pink eraser and lies on the page below the stamped image."></p> <p>Here&rsquo;s the full prompt list from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pinkeraserart/">pinkeraserart on Instagram</a>.</p> <p><img src="https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/175265/2025/pink-eraser-art-oct2025.png" alt="A list of drawing prompts for Pinker Eraser Artober Challenge with various animals and creatures for each day in October."></p> https://kalikambo.micro.blog/2025/02/17/i-was-practicing-carving-patterns.html Mon, 17 Feb 2025 20:09:00 -0500 http://kalikambo.micro.blog/2025/02/17/i-was-practicing-carving-patterns.html <p>I was practicing carving patterns: a checkerboard and curvy lines.</p> <p><img src="https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/175265/2025/2025-02-checkerboard.png" alt="A carved pink eraser is used as a stamp to create a blue checkered pattern on paper."></p> <p><img src="https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/175265/2025/2025-02-curvy-lines.png" alt="A carved pink eraser with curvy lines and a stamped curvy pattern in blue ink are displayed on a piece of paper."></p> https://kalikambo.micro.blog/2025/02/15/trying-something-new-i-made.html Sat, 15 Feb 2025 20:06:00 -0500 http://kalikambo.micro.blog/2025/02/15/trying-something-new-i-made.html <p>Trying something new. 🙂 I made this hand-carved stamp on a typical eraser.</p> <p><img src="https://eu.uploads.micro.blog/175265/2025/2025-02-heart.png" alt="A handmade stamp featuring a red heart design is shown with its carving tool and prints on paper."></p>
