Carving Out Tiny Stamps

I got into carving tiny stamps lately. It's challenging in a fun way and also a surprisingly relaxing thing to do. It's also been a while since I was creating something non-digital.

Here are some stamps I made featuring some characters, icons and my dear wife (in the top left corner).

Starting with graph paper to sketch things quickly, then I use tracing paper to copy sketch onto carving block. For carving out I use a hobby knife and a linoleum cutter. When finished I just glue a small wooden cube as a handle.
