Making designs for printmaking has been very much missing from the regular routine by artists. However with pigment based inks and these carving blocks they are great fun to impart some interesting elements to serious artworks and greeting cards. Making rubber stamps with these is also great fun and with water-based markers they may be colored for various effects. Made of soft vinyl material they cut easily and may be carved on virtually any side. Set of three high quality cutters is highly recommended but any carving or cutting tools will do. Blocks are 3/4” thick.
