Bejegyzéseinkben már több alkalommal jártuk körül, milyen szerepet játszott a szövés az avantgárd alkotók munkásságában, és mutattunk nektek néhány olyan ötletet, amit ez a technika inspirált. Most a karácsonyi ajándékcsomagoláshoz és fadíszítéshez ajánlunk nektek egy mutatós apróságot, ami ráadásul az újrahasznosítás szerelmeseinek is izgalmas lehet: bemutatjuk, hogyan készítettük el Fröbel, a híres óvodapedagógus szövött csillagát kávéstasakból.

Ha előkerül reggelente a kotyogós kávéfőző, akkor biztosan találkoztatok már az ezüst- vagy aranyszínű tasakokkal, amiben az őrölt kávét árulják. Ez a fényes csomagolóanyag igazán kínálja magát az újrahasznosításra, és mivel nemcsak szép, de tartós és vízálló is, az ebből készült alkotások hosszabb életűek lesznek, mintha papírból dolgoznánk.

Fogjunk is bele! Ha pedig szeretnétek egy kicsit többet hallani Fröbelről és arról, hogy milyen hatást gyakorolt a modern művészetre az általa kidolgozott művészetpedagógia, olvassatok tovább a leírás után!

A kávéstasakot először a forrasztás mentén felvágjuk, hogy ki tudjuk majd teríteni.

A belsejéről mossuk le a kávéport, és szárítsuk meg!

Ha előkészítettük a tasakot, és levágtuk a széleket, a hosszabbik oldala mentén vágjuk egy centiméter széles csíkokra! Egy csillaghoz csak négy csík kell, de a sok hajtogatás miatt viszonylag hosszú szalagokra lesz szükség, ezért ha az egy centiméter széles szalagokkal túl nehézkesnek találjátok, kezdésként gyakorolhatjátok szélesebb papírszalaggal. A szélesség és hosszúság javasolt aránya 1:25. Tehát ha másfél centi széles csíkokat vágtok, 37 centi hosszt hagyjatok rá!

Mivel a szövésnél a szalag szélének minél egyenesebbnek kell lennie, lehetőség szerint vonalzó mentén, sniccerrel vágjunk!

A csillag hajtogatásának pontos lépéseiről számos videót találtok a youtube-on, összegyűjtöttünk nektek néhányat. Mennyivel könnyebb dolgunk van, mint azoknak, akiknek a több mint száz éves leírásból kellett rájönniük, mit hogyan kell csinálni!

Kristályvilág
Az 1700-as évek végén egy Friedrich Fröbel nevű német fiatalember jó úton haladt, hogy építész legyen, amikor egy barátja meggyőzte, hogy forduljon inkább az oktatás felé. Fröbel fordulata vitathatatlanul hatalmas befolyást gyakorolt az építészet és a design világára - mindez köszönhető annak, hogy a pedagógus egy óvodát hozott létre.

Friedrich Froebel
Ha valaha láttatok már absztrakt műalkotást, és arra gondoltatok, hogy „ezt egy ovis is meg tudná csinálni" nos, nem is mondhattátok volna pontosabban. Egyes expresszionista, kubista és szürrealista művészek, mint Paul Klee és Vaszilij Kandinszkij is olyan óvodákba jártak, ahol Fröbel módszerével tanítottak. Mások, mint például Piet Mondrian, tanárként találkoztak a módszerrel. Munkáik hasonlósága az óvodai tanítási útmutatók illusztrációihoz néha elképesztő. Egyes esetekben az ember nehezen tudja kitalálni, hogy az adott művet óvodás (vagy tanár) vagy absztrakt művész készítette.

A valóság alapszerkezete olyan, mint a kristályé: egyenes vonalakból és szabályos geometriai formákból áll össze. Ha a gyerekeket a valóság megismerésére akarjuk tanítani, akkor segíteni kell őket, hogy elsőként ezekből az építőelemekből alkossanak. Ez volt Fröbel nevelői módszertanának kiindulópontja. Nagy hatással volt rá a reformpedagógus Johann Pestalozzi, aki szerint a hagyományos „poroszos", ismétlésre és memorizálásra épülő tanulás helyett a hangsúlyt a fizikai tevékenységekre és az aktivitásra kell helyezni, amiben különösen nagy szerep jut a rajzolásnak is. Fröbel, aki oktatói munkája mellett földmérőként és erdészként is dolgozott, továbbfejlesztette Pestalozzi elképzeléseit, és úgy gondolta, hogy az óvodás korosztály tanítása közben túl kell lépni az egyszerű vonalak rajzolásán: a tárgyak fizikai manipulációja az, ami a legjobban elősegítheti a környező világ megértését.

Piet Mondrian, Tableau No2 1921-25 Vörös Kék Fekete és Szürk e

Hogy miért pont a kristályok? Fröbel egy ideig a világ egyik legkiválóbb krisztallográfusával (kristálykutatójával) dolgozott Berlinben - és ez a tapasztalat alapvetően átalakította a világ megértéséről alkotott elképzeléseit. Ahol a legtöbben a természetet olyan alakzatokban látták, mint a dombok és hegyek, vagy a növények és állatok, Fröbel a kristályok egyenes vonalaira és geometriai formáira koncentrált. Úgy tekintette ezekre, mint a valóság építőköveire.

Végül 1837-ben Fröbel különböző tudományterületeken szerzett tapasztalatai nyomán 55 évesen megalapította a legelső óvodát a németországi Bad Blankenburgban. A német „Kindergarten", azaz óvoda kifejezés két különböző gondolatot foglal magában: a gyerekek a természetben játszanak és tanulnak belőle, de ők maguk is igénylik a gondoskodást, hogy kibontakozzanak: „mint növények a kertben". Iskolájában a szabadban, valódi kertekben játszhattak, munkálkodhattak a gyerekek, de Fröbel módszerének igazi kulcsa egy megtévesztően egyszerű megjelenésű játékkészlet volt, amely Fröbelgaben (angolul: Froebel's Gifts, magyarul a kicsit porosan hangzó „Fröebel adományai") néven vált ismertté.

Az adományok

Fröbel „adományait" meghatározott sorrendben kellett a gyerekek kezébe adni, akik így érdeklődésükhöz és képességeikhez igazítva kaptak egyre összetettebb képet az alakzatról, a szerkezetekről és az észlelésről. A mindössze hathetes gyermek már egy puha kötött labdát kapott a kezébe, később egy fagolyót, majd egy kockát, amely a forma és az anyag hasonlóságait és különbségeit szemléltette. Ezután kaphattak a gyerekek egy hengert (amely a labda és a kocka elemeit is egyesíti), később pedig néhány tárgyat zsinórral vagy rúddal szúrtak át, hogy a gyerekek megpörgethessék, és megnézhessék, hogyan formálódik az egyik a másikba, amikor mozgásba hozzák őket. Az összetettebb alakzatok megmutatták a gyerekeknek, hogyan viszonyulnak a részek az egészhez, a szétszerelés és az összeszerelés révén. Ezek az észlelés-orientált játékok néhány év alatt természetesen alakultak át az építkezés-orientált foglalkozásokká, amikor egyszerű tárgyak (papír, madzag, drót vagy kis pálcikák és borsók) segítségével szerkezeteket is alkottak.

Ez tulajdonképpen a monoprintelés egyik fajtája, azaz egy felületre felkenjünk a festéket, ráteszünk valami "ellenanyagot", rányomjuk az anyagot, és így alakul ki a minta.
A munkához a legfontosabb kellék a sima háztartási zselatinból elkészített, a zacskón feltüntetettnél kicsit "tömörebb", kb. 3-4 cm vastag kocsonyalap. Meg lehet csinálni egy kisebb, bármilyen alakú tálcában, amit - ha magas a tálca pereme - béleljünk ki folpakkal vagy alufóliával, hogy a lapot ki lehessen belőle venni. Szükség van még vasalással fixálható textilfestékre (hígítás nélkül), egy kb. 5 cm széles gumihengerre, kis tálkákra, ahová a festéket kiöntjük. A nyomat kialakításához mi mindenféle, a legtöbb háztartásban megtalálható dolgot használtunk: tortapapír széle, csipke, krumpliháló, műanyagrács, falevelek, zsírpapírból kivágott alakzatok, stb.
A fehér mellett pasztellszínű anyagokat is használtunk, és szerintem azok jobban is néznek ki.
A munka menete a következő:
1. A zselatin sima felére a hengerrel vékonyan fel kell kenni egy (két, három...) színű festéket.
2. Gyorsan dolgozva a festékre rátenni valamit a fent felsoroltak között, vagy még előtte egy fogpiszkálóval (vagy hasonlóval) mintát is "rajzolhatunk" a festékbe.
3. Az anyagot rátenni, kisimítani, megtapicskolni. Ekkor nem kerül festék oda, ahová a tárgyat tettük, tehát a tárgy negatív lenyomatát kapjuk.
4. Egy másik anyagot (vagy ugyanannak a másik felét) is rásímítunk, és így alakul ki a tárgy pozitív lenyomata.
5. Megint festéket kenünk, tárgyat rakunk, tapicskolunk. Az egyes nyomatok között a zselatint nem kell letakarítani, mert az összes festék átmegy az anyagra.

A zselatinlap szobahőmérsékleten 2-3 óra után kezd el "engedni", ekkor már nem lehet tiszta nyomatokat csinálni, viszont nagyon izgalmasan alakul a felülete. Sőt szét is lehet törni szabályos vagy szabálytalan darabokra és úgy készíteni a nyomatot. Ekkor csináltam a Kavicsokban felhasznált szürkés nyomatot.

Próbáljátok ki, jó móka, különösen társaságban!

Recently I've finished a Character Design for Animation course at CGMA. During 8 weeks I've been exploring various important aspects that go into designing characters for animation. And here is my homework!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
here is my first 3 weeks of assignments for the character design animation classes with Nate Wragg at CGMA. i'm having lots of fun, learning many of the basic principles behind the construction of a solid design.

as you might notice, the classes are mostly focusing on how to drive the characters appeal and attitude trough shape language starting from simple shape as triangles, circles or rectangles, making conscious and logical choices on how a certain character should look like given his personality.

that's it for now. hope you readers like my designs! =)

A ragasztó mennyiségét és tapadását a szalagon úgy állítják be, hogy a szalag könnyen eltávolítható legyen anélkül, hogy megmaradna a felület, amelyre ráfektették. A tapadást 1 és 100 közötti skála segítségével határozzuk meg. A festés legtöbb műveletéhez 50-es szükséges .

Történelem

A maszkolószalagot 1925-ben találta ki Richard Drew, a 3M alkalmazottja . Drew megfigyelte, hogy az autógyártóknak milyen nehézségei vannak az autók festésére használt szalagok eltávolításakor: a ragasztó túl erős volt, és megrongálta a már meglévő festéket, ami drága tapintásokat igényelt. Richard Drew ezután megragadta az alkalmat, hogy megfelelőbb ragasztóval készítsen szalagot.

We love seeing the amazing art people create using fountain pens. It's absolutely mind-blowing to see what people can make with a blank piece of paper and a pen. Here we've gathered 12 artists who use pens to create art and asked them what makes fountain pens such a great tool.

@PensiveCandy

My name is Candace and I live in Sydney, Australia. I'm a long-time fountain pen user, having been introduced to fountain pens at the age of 8 or 9, but I only just started using them for art and drawing last year. I share my creations on Instagram under the handle @pensivecandy.

I love using fountain pens for art for many of the same reasons I enjoy using them for daily office work. Fountain pens feel much nicer in the hand from the shape of the grip and the body to the way the ink flows onto the paper, than say, a fibre-tipped pen which I know many use quite happily. The drawing experience is smooth and feels effortless when I have the right fountain pen in my hand. I tend to gravitate toward pens that come with springy or flexible nibs because they offer line variation, which makes the result so much more interesting.

For someone who is thinking of using fountain pens to create art, my top tip would be to pair the pen of your choice with fountain pen-friendly paper - my go-to is Tomoe River (I've bought so many of Goulet Pens' A5 notebooks of this paper) - because if you don't use the right paper, you'll be disappointed and discouraged to find your creation has either feathered or bled through thanks to unsuitable paper.

@abillustrator

"My name is Andrew Banks and I am a Chicago based artist, freelance illustrator, and owner of Andrew Banks Illustration. Whether I am choosing the right ink, nib size, pen grip, or weight, fountain pens offer a variety of options that help me achieve desired results in my work. I drew the majority of this Chicago Skyline with a TWSBI Eco with an EF nib, filled with Platinum Carbon Black ink. The Eco is a nice light pen even when fully inked which makes it really comfortable for longer drawing sessions. The EF nib is really precise, yet smooth at the same time, and allows me to incorporate fine details and texturing. The pen's feed has a great flow of ink, and its large body provides a large supply of ink which is also especially helpful for long drawings sessions. While the Eco with an EF nib was used for the majority of this drawing, I also used other pens, including. Lamy Safaris with M and B nibs and even brush pens to achieve varying line weights and textures throughout the piece.

Platinum Carbon Black ink is one of my go to inks for these types of drawings. Carbon Black is a pretty fast drying ink. While being a very dark black, its pigmentation also provides a nice, subtle textural quality. Carbon Black is also great for its archivability being waterproof, permanent and lightfast. I love these qualities because when I use Carbon Black ink I feel confident providing my clients with art made with products that will last a lifetime. Artists looking to use Platinum Carbon Black ink should clean their pens out every 3-4 days. After multiple, prolonged drawing sessions, you will begin to notice slight buildup of pigmentation (and paper fibers) on you nib. This is completely normal; however, it can begin to impact the clarity of your line work if you are not careful."

I like a good amount of line variation in my cartoons, so a flexible nib is important to me. My favorite nibs are Pilot's Soft Extra Fine (on my resin Falcon) and Pilot's FA nib (on the Custom 912). The Custom 912 can be a little finicky, so the Falcon is my go-to pen for drawing. Noodler's also makes a couple of more affordable, steel nib options (the Ahab or Konrad) that also flex without breaking the bank. Have fun making some drawings with wonderful, expressive lines!

I have been sketching for twenty plus years. Rarely do I use a pencil. Long ago I realized drawing with pen and ink requires I spend more time looking and observing. When I put the pen to paper I do it with a greater sense of awareness. I spent more time looking at my subject. Since I can't erase I slow down and pay more attention to how I'm holding the pen, the pressure, the speed, the ink flow... All of these things mean I'm more involved with the experience. I draw slower and with a greater awareness.

About seven years ago I started exploring fountain pens. I wanted a pen that would do more than simply get the job done. I had grown tired of cheap disposable pens and wanted something that was enjoyable to hold, look at and a pleasure to sketch with. Little did I know how big the fountain pen world was...I was lost! That's when I stumbled upon Goulet Pens. At last I was able to make sense of all the terms, option, nibs, inks...

@Hillkurtz

I love using fountain pens for my work because of the expressive quality of the line, there's just nothing like it. I am also attracted to the idea of creating something that's somewhat timeless in feel. My sketches have a certain nostalgia to them, and drawing with a fountain pen connects me to all those great artist who sketched in a similar way decades or even centuries ago.

A tip I have for artist, especially all those lefties out there (like me) - grab whatever fountain pen you can get your hands on and draw with no fear of smudging! I've always loved the idea of fountain pens, but couldn't use them because I'm left-handed. But with sketching, all those pesky writing rules don't apply. You are allowed to draw from right to left! Drag that pen across the page with beautifully fluid movements, and create something amazing!

@Krismordecai

I love working with fountain pens because they provide a completely different user experience than working with a disposable pen. I love the wonderful feeling of liquid ink flowing off the nib and onto the page. I'm kind of addicted to that sensory experience. I also love the way my fountain pens feel in my hand. Since I started using fountain pens, my hands never seem to cramp up or tire anymore, even after writing or drawing for hours. Finally, a disposable pen is intended to wear out and it's something that you can't get too attached to, by design. But a fountain pen is a tool intended for years of use, and I love the relationships I've built with my pens over time.

A tip for artists who would like to use them:

Build community! Brian likes to refer to the "fountain pen community" in his videos, and I know some people who aren't fountain pen users might think that sounds a bit strange, but this is a very real thing! Fountain pen users are so enthusiastic about their tools that we generally all love to talk to people about them, ask each other questions and give answers. Similarly, there are so many amazing and supportive artists and sketchers doing meet ups and connecting on social networks, and these communities are very generous with their support. My own community regularly gives me inspiration, teaches me skills, answers my questions, and encourages me to keep going.

Or, for those looking for a more "concrete" tip: With most pens you can turn the nib upside down to get a finer line when you're drawing. :)

I love sketching with fountain pens because the flow of the ink suits my loose style. I also love using a few different pens with different inks as this increases the fun, particularly when I am constantly switching between linework and paint.

To work this way all you need to do is to pick two or more different fountain pens and then start sketching - maybe with a stroke of paint in the most important part of the scene. Then switch to one of your fountain pens and draw for a little while before changing to another pen. Then go back to paint and continue mixing it up! It sounds a little crazy but it will result in a really expressive sketch!

@Jamisonodone

I'm an author/illustrator of Graphic Novels and Children's books. An obsessive drawer. A professor of Illustration at Frostburg State University in Maryland and a devout fountain pen user. My books can be found in stores and by searching my name on amazon or any web store.

The reason I use fountain pens is because I feel they give my work the permanence that I desire. The ink won't fade and I can control the amount that I have without worry of running out. Also, I feel the reward of accomplishment whenever I complete a book and when I'm actually making the work though, (which takes months of my life at a time) I like to have a tool that I also enjoy using and holding in my hand for those months. I've only gotten this feel with a fountain pen- of all the tools I've used over the years.

@j._.n

I like using fountain pens for art because it has a consistent flow of ink, I am able to choose the ink I use, and the thicker line forces me to find simpler ways of communicating details. The pen's comfortable design and eye-catching appearance also makes drawing more enjoyable.

My best tip for artists who want to use these pens for art:
I find that fountain pens are eco-friendly as it's reused and refilled with ink rather than thrown in the garbage after use, so I recommend it for environmentally conscious people. I also recommend them to artists who have experimented with many pens and knows the exact characteristics they like so they could cater this to a longer-lasting, better looking fountain pen. And for me personally, I always feel bad throwing away a pen after finishing it because it feels like discarding something that helped me in my art journey. But with a fountain pen, this problem is fixed. :)

The main reason why I love using fountain pen is the experience. The stroke thickness & black intensity of the ink is similar to digital tool. I use Namiki Falcon from Pilot & Noodler's Ahab, both has flex nib to create bold & thin line.

The fountain pen I used is the Pelikan M100 which is one of my favourite pens because it has a huge ink capacity. I like to use fountain pens because they are economical in the long run as long as you use bottled inks. You also have more control over the type of ink. For my watercolor sketches, I use Noodler's Bulletproof ink which is waterproof when dry although on some paper it may not be as waterproof.

I've always been into the black and white drawing tradition, and when I got down to start drawing I just chose ink as a medium. The first couple of years I used traditional dip pens but then I discovered all the advantages of fountain pens (no need for constant dipping, more freedom of drawing direction, more portable) and have never looked back. I also state that a fountain pen has a lot of advantages over for example technical pens and fine liners as it is possible to draw with a much more slanted angle making it perfect for a companion to a sketchbook.

As for tips, I would recommend not to choose an expensive pen first, I tend to say that pens like the Platinum-Carbon pen are a good start to get a feel what drawing with a fountain pen is. Fountain pens might be expensive to buy especially when you go for a pen with a gold nib (which I prefer especially if you would like the added flex it gives to the line) but handled properly they can last a lifetime.

Az egyik legfontosabb eszköz, amivel meg kell ismerkedned a rajzolásnál, az a vonalkázás, illetve egyéb olyan technikák, amikkel a különböző tónusokat, színmélységeket ki tudod fejezni a rajzokon.

(kiemelt kép: Kate Bush/Pinterest)

A rajzolás nem más, mint jelek lerakása egymás után, és a vonalkázás és keresztvonalkázás különböző típusai a legértékesebb eszközök a rajzolás során, hogy tónust és textúrát adj a rajzodnak. Ezek a technikák kiválóan alkalmazhatóak mind grafit-, mind tollrajzok esetében.

Négy fő-, és ezeken belül számos további árnyékolási technika van a rajzoknál. Ezeket főleg azok a művészek használják, akik nem alkalmaznak valamilyen elkenési technikát a tónusok létrehozásához. Ezek a technikák a következők:

vonalkázás és keresztvonalkázás

kontúr árnyékolás

körözés

pontozás vagy pöttyözés

Néhány művész csak az elkenést/rétegezés technikáját alkalmazza, de vannak jó páran, akik a fenti négy technika közül egyet használnak, vagy többet kombinálnak. Például akik tollal rajzolnak, csak ezeket a technikákat tudják alkalmazni, mivel a tollat nem lehet úgy elkenni, mint a grafitot.

Vonalkázás, keresztvonalkázás

A vonalkázás nem más, mint vonalak húzása egymás mellé, párhuzamosan. Attól függően, hogy milyen színárnyalatot szeretnénk elérni, húzzuk egymáshoz közel vagy távol a vonalakat. A legsötétebb részeknél szinte nincs is szünet a vonalak között, míg a világosabb területeken nagyobb távolságot hagyunk a vonalak között. Természetesen a nyomással, illetve a ceruza esetében annak keménységével is lehet játszani.

kép forrása: pinterest.com

A keresztvonalkázásnál hasonló a helyzet, mint a vonalkázásnál, de itt, mint a nevéből is adódik, nem csak egymás mellé húzzuk a vonalakat, hanem keresztbe is. Ez a legegyszerűbb és leghatékonyabb módja, hogy változatos sűrűséget, és így változatos sötétséget adj a rajzaidnak. A keresztvonalazást olyan ismert művészek használták előszeretettel, mint Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci.

Példa a keresztvonalazásra Igor Lukyanov Ukrán művész képével

Kontúr árnyékolás

Ez a technika majdnem megegyezik a vonalkázással, annyi különbséggel, hogy a vonalak követik a kontúr irányát. Például ezt a technikát alkalmazhatjuk, ha kör alakú dolgot, mondjuk egy labdát szeretnénk rajzolni.

Kép forrása: pinterest.com

Körözés

A körözés technikánál köröket rajzolunk folyamatosan, mintha csak firkálnánk. Lehet ezt a technikát viszonylag szabályosan művelni, de lehetnek ezek a körök kicsit össze-vissza is, mint a lenti képen.

Példaként Vince Low illusztrátor munkája

Pontozás

Ez a techinka nem szól másról, mint hogy pontokat rakunk egymás mellé. Nagyon sok pontot. Ez a technika elég időigényes, de nagyon lenyűgöző dolgokat lehet vele alkotni, így megéri a befektetett energiát. Minél sűrűbben pontozunk egy adott területet, annál sötétebb lesz, és minél ritkábban, annál világosabb.

Érdemes a fenti technikákat gyakorolni, mert nagyon különleges rajzokat tudunk velük készíteni. Természetesen ezek a technikák működnek színes ceruzával és tollal is.

Feb 28, 2016 - I have to admit I have a penchant for cutting things out.  This display shows a rare example of a square collagraph plate. The background rook and dove together with the foreground chickens show my usual shaped plates. From time to time I can be caught creating a one off collagraph print by paper cutting the background, as with this halloween commission for Moss Prints Gallery in Cheltenham. I have recently created a suite of small birds with specifically designed paper cut backgrounds. These are a small edition of 10. Even my enamel pieces can not escape this treatment, but I do have these pieces etched for me. So as a serial offender and with a little time on my hands (?) I have subjected King of the Birds to a little hacking and slashing.  I will show this 1/1 at Art in Action, 16-19 July, www.artinaction.org.uk

DIY Stamp Carving Start To Finish Process

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Extensively used in arts and crafts, (also known as the activity of stamping) are widely used by crafters for creative and decorative purposes. Some of the most commonly used stamps for crafts include rubber stamps, wooden stamps, acrylic stamps, and photopolymer stamps.

Today, whenever artists think of stamping, the only two categories that surface include rubberand acrylic. However, the history of stamps dates way back to ancient times. In the earlier days, wooden stamps were extensively used for woodblock printing. Dated as early as 220 AD in China, wooden stamps were a popular method used to print designs on clothes. Also known as block printing, woodblock printing is a method to print text, pictures, or patterns on a printable surface. Inking and rubber stamps are relatively recent concepts.

The rubber stamps that are commercially available are used for three main purposes.

First, they are used as stamps at offices. Date stamps are often used, as well as address stamps, signature stamps, and more.

Second, these types of stamps are used as a means to decorate objects or scrapbooks. This type of stamping is connected to the hobby of crafting.

Third, rubber stamps may be used in children's toys.

Find out more about different stamps collection, stamps designs, and how stamps work!

As time went by and technology became more advanced, acrylic stamps were invented to help artists with their crafting needs. Unlike rubber and wooden stamps, acrylic stamps come attached to a clear plastic liner.

How do you use clear stamps with acrylic blocks?

To use them, you would first peel the stamp off the liner and then place it onto a clear acrylic block. Since it will quickly cling to it, there is no need to use any kind of additional adhesive or a cushion. In order to make sure it is well adhered to the block, you will have to press it firmly. Next, simply ink it up and stamp away. If you want to learn how to use layered stamps, watch this quick how-to.

The Rise of Photopolymer Stamps

The previous decade has seen a humongous rise in one of the most preferred kinds of stamps called photopolymer stamps. Photopolymer stamps have grown to such overwhelming popularity these days that they have become an essential part of any paper crafter's kit.

They are more commonly known as clear acrylic stamps, which are made up of photopolymer material. These stamps are transparent and are available on plastic sheets. Crafters can use these stamps with acrylic blocks or stamp positioning tools to stamp the desired image or pattern onto a given surface.

What is the difference between acrylic stamps and photopolymer stamps?

There are so many words and terms for stamps being used by crafters that it sometimes gets too overwhelming for beginners and non-craft people. There's clear stamps, rubber stamps, cling stamps, acrylic stamps, polymer stamps, and photopolymer stamps. To lessen the confusion, here's what you need to remember: with the exception of rubber stamps, all the other stamps mentioned in the previous sentence are types of clear stamps. They are called clear stamps since they are see-through, so you can actually see the design or pattern that you are stamping. With rubber or wooden stamps, you cannot see the design as you stamp them on a surface.

The two most popular and widely used stamps for crafts are acrylic stamps and photopolymer stamps. Let's check their features and differences.

The advent of photopolymer stamps have turned even older stampers into fans. Not only are they high-quality and durable, most stamps shops also offer a variety of stamps designs and stamps collection for them to choose from.

The Popularity of Photopolymer Stamps

Photopolymer stamps are popular among the arts and craft community for many reasons. Since the material used here is photopolymer, these stamps are clear. This means that, when using a clear acrylic block, crafters can view the exact position of where the stamp is going before leaving a mark on the page.

The second reason why photopolymer stamps are so popular is that they are very cost-effective. Since they are far less expensive than rubber or wooden stamps, acrylic stamps can easily be accessed by crafters.

Photopolymer Stamps in Paper Crafting

Stamps, especially rubber and photopolymer, are top artistic tools extensively used in many creative projects. Stamps for card making, scrapbooking, creating planners, and journaling are on the rise.

The rubber picture stamps (also known as picture stamps) were originally created for educational purposes, unlike business or craft use. Picture stamps first became popular in the field of education, and later on, they gained immense popularity in the world of arts and crafts. From centuries ago to today, stamping has become a very important part of the modern world, especially in the field of craft and artistry.

Industry Updates in the World of Stamps

On the other hand, a lot of people are inclined towards stamping simply because they find it to be a stress buster. Using stamps for craft, people can enhance the the most plain piece of paper. To get some solid evidence about people's love for stamping, check out the following statistics:

Stampingis one of the largest categories that falls within the craft and hobby industry. Today, stamping is considered an essential part of the crafting industry in the nation. From 1996 through 2004, the sales of different types of stamps have profusely increased across the United States. The year 2005 saw compressed sales for stamps for the first time after many back to back years of exponential growth.

Manufacturing

Raw materials:

wood, latex rubber, adhesive-backed padding, adhesive-backed labels, etc.

Design:

Primarily, you need a good design. You can ask artists to provide you with exceptional designs.

Make sure that you get a copyright for these designs.

You can also use existing artwork to create your rubber or clear stamp.

Process:

Once the design is confirmed, multiple copies of the design are transferred to the aluminum plate. The plate is then washed in acid to get rid of the unwanted metal. This way, the image is etched on the plate.

The actual design is placed on a Bakelite sheet. The sheet is then passed through the vulcanizer. The tremendous heat under the vulcanizer helps etch a negative image on the rubber.

This negative image on the rubber, when depicted on the paper, transforms into the desired image.

The next step is to press the rubber sheets on the adhesive sheets with the help of the adhesive material.

This manufacturing process can be altered as per your business needs.

Usage of Stamps

These stamps are often used to:

Design your own greeting cards, wedding cards, etc.

Design your own gift wrapper

As a marketing tool

Stamp your address, date, name, etc.

Customized gifts, bags, etc.

Professional branding

Decorate vases, paintings, and other artworks

As stationery in your documents - letterheads and envelopes

To customize your belongings - bags, uniform, dresses

Advantages of Stamps

Saves Time

Rubber stamps save you from the lengthy process of drawing and painting a design. Instead, you can use these rubber stamps and imprint your design at a quicker pace and as many times as you want.

You can also use photopolymer stamps for this use as they are easy to use, easily available and offer better output.

Organize paperwork

Regardless of digitization, there are certain cards and processes for which you have to use a hard copy of the document. In order to save a lengthy time of printing or designing, you can simply use a photopolymer stamp to arrange your multiple cards.

Create brand awareness

When someone mentions Starbucks all you can think about is either coffee or its logo. The logo represents the company and hence it is important to use it wisely to promote your business.

These stamps allow you to create brand awareness about your design. Besides, you can create an effective call to action to attract more customers.

Reduced confusion

Often, there are multiple copies of a specific design. It becomes difficult to know which one is the correct one. The mere presence of a stamp can help you eliminate this confusion.

Final Words

Stamps for crafts are a cost-efficient and useful tool. They are not only useful for personal but also professional work. It is important to make optimal use of these stamps.

Traditional origami models can be excellent points of departure for creating new and ingenious paper figures. Many new models have their origin in a seemingly small change applied to an existing model.

This heart-shaped paper box is a wonderful example of this idea. The box is made by adding only a couple of folds to the traditional masu box, which is in itself simple and versatile.

This variation of the masu box is a creation of Romi Halabaso (Philippines). To make it we will fold two paper boxes -one box being the lid, and the other the base. The lid will have a diamond shape, and, when removed, will reveal the base of the box which will display the shape of a heart.

It's a heart and a diamond, two in one, perfect for a sweet Valentine's day gift or as a Jewelry Box.

The following step-by-step video shows how to make Romi's Heart-Diamond Box. Thank you Romi for granting permission to present your model in this video!
Tips and suggestions for making this paper box

In the video the heart-shaped box is demonstrated using thin kami paper, known in the U.S. as "origami paper".

Other papers -office paper, gift-wrapping or paper from old magazines, are also suitable.

Only one side of the paper is visible on the finished model. It is not necessary to use paper of different color on each side.

Use a piece of paper 6×6 inches (15x15cm.) to learn it.

Make the lid in the same way as the base but use a square paper whose side is 1/32 bigger than the paper used for the base.
