Sandy tells me: Here are some stamps I made from rubbers (the British term for erasers). I used different types; all of them are double sides, so 2 photos. Also in the photos is evidence of how we were taught to design them.
Which is:Trace round the rubber on tracing paper. Then draw the design with pencil.
Turn it over and burnish the design onto the rubber, and then carve using lino cutting tools. At the bottom right are 2 small stamps I made when I wanted cuneiform writing on a piece.

I have just put a link to your blog and stamping ideas onto my blog. Our term for erasers is a little unfortunate I think!
Thanks for the great ideas about stamping. If anyone wants to see a leaf/feather stamp used to make a heron, I blogged about it here:
