Een van de deelnemers aan Crusade 18, Stephanie Hilvitz, vroeg zich af hoe het perfecte rondje in een blok te maken. Nu heb ik een Japanse screw punch en moest natuurlijk even proberen of dat werkt. Nou dat werkt wel, maar...
- Weet niet of het gereedschap er erg blij mee was, maar dat zien we later wel weer, hooguit een nieuw bitje nodig t.z.t.
- De bitjes draaiden uit het handvat tijdens het boren en het gummi bleef in de bitjes hangen, een satehprikker hielp om dat spul eruit te duwen.
- Het gummiblok vindt het niet leuk als er gaatjes vlak bij elkaar gemaakt worden. Er onstaan fraaie scheuren, leuk als je voor de 'distressed-look' gaat...
- Misschien was mijn blok te oud, het heeft minstens 4, mogelijk 5, jaar in de kast gelegen.
*LOL*
One of the Crusade 18 participants, Stephanie Hilvitz, wondered if there was a tool to make perfect round holes in the carving material. That made me wonder if a Japanese screw punch would do the trick. It does, however...
- I'm not sure if the tool was very happy with the job or may be I will need a new bit soon.
- The bits screwed out of the punch handle while drilling and the carving material stayed put in the bits. A skewer helped to remove the 'gummi' (do you call the material this?).
- The carving block didn't like to have the holes close to each other, it cracked. That's fun if you want to achieve a distressed look...
- It could be my material was outdated, it was at least 4 years in a drawer.
*LOL*
Dit is de ruimte die ik nog heb op mijn werkblad... Rechts ligt de screw punch, ik heb bitjes van 1,5 - 3 en 4 mm gebruikt voor de gaatjes.
This is the working space left on my desk... The screw punch is at the right, I used 1,5 - 3 and 4 mm bits to make the holes.
Met een donkere kleur zie je goed hoe de scheuren lopen.
Using a dark colour makes the cracks pop.
Thank you!!! for that idea! I love how it worked here, all the different size holes!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go find one...

Dymphie - great use of the screw punch to get circles. I was thinking Steph wanted a solution for cutting around circles, not cutting out circles. You gave me an idea. *runs to go try something*
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your tip! Love that stamp!
Hoi Dymphie,
ReplyDeleteLEUK geworden de stempel met verschillende gaatjes, bij wie kan ik die bestellen LOL?! Mmm, ik heb echt veel, maar dan weer net GEEN screwpunch. Ik denk trouwens niet dat het aan je (wellicht wat oude) materiaal ligt, maar door de techniek, de overtollige gummi kan niet weg en dan komen er grote krachten op je gummi staan. Ik vind dat juist leuk, die breukjes, maar ja...
Zie je,
Hedwig
Dymphie! This is a GREAT idea!! It opens up a whole new bunch of ideas for making cuts into the rubber that you normally wouldn't think of!! You get the gold star for creativity today! :)
ReplyDeleteAh-ha! Thank you for sharing this idea! And I think what you call gummi, we call rubber.
ReplyDeleteJe hebt héél wat inspiratie zo te zien want je maakt héle mooie kaartjes!
ReplyDeletegreat idea, dymphie! i like this stamp!
ReplyDeletei´m still struggling with this crusade.. i have a lot of old carvings, but wanted to make something new. but: my carving material is even older than yours, so i suppose... ok, you said it gives a distressed look, so i´ll go for it LOL!!
Wow, you have come up with SO many good ideas! I can't decide which is my favorite but want to try them all. It is totally cool that these ideas have no borders and translate to artists around the world. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDymphie,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Of course, yet I had not seen it! I am addicted to circles and prefer bird's and other eyes spared of triangles.
Your stamps are fabulous!

Thank you for testing the screw punch on your carving material, it's nice to know how it worked for you! Another great job! :)
ReplyDeleteI personally think the cracks are cool :) -Kim
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I just love how it prints up...including the cracks!
ReplyDeleteBest-

Dymphie I really like what you have been doing with your craved stamps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the FAB idea to cut out holes and circles... I think the distressed look from the cracking gives it that much more character!!! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteLeuk! Ik vind dat gecrackeleerde wel
ReplyDeletewat hebben;o)
Supergaaf, zelf met scheuren, dat heeft wel wat, en je ATC is fantastisch, prachtige kleurencombinatie.
ReplyDeletesuch an awesome idea and technique! thank you for sharing this! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tip...I have one of those so no need to buy something new for a change!!! Love the stamp you created with it. Cool idea.
ReplyDeleteDymphie ik vind het een erg leuke stempel !
ReplyDeleteDymphie......great minds think alike :) I did the opposite of what you did and wrote about it. I pushed the punch just a little into the block and then took the carving tool up to the line and the pieces just popped out around the circle. So I ended up getting the reverse of your circles. I love your stamp and that card with the eye.
ReplyDeleteWat ben je goed bezig en met geweldig resultaat! Knap hoor!
ReplyDeleteCool experiment - I really like the cracking too, it makes for a great look!
ReplyDeleteThese holes are another great idea!
ReplyDeletewhat fun idea to use a screw punch! great stamp and thanks for sharing
