This is a great, frugal art project and almost anyone probably already has most of the supplies! One thing that is different about erasers vs. rubber relief block media is that erasers usually have an abrasive like pumice powder in them, and that can dull your tools. You can always buy extra cutters, but since frugality is part of the lesson, it's a good time to mention sharpening your cutters periodically. A whetstone is a great addition to any studio for honing cutters, chisels, and knives, because when they get dull, they're not as safe, and they don't carve as well. Another frugal printmaking technique artists may want to explore is drypoint intaglio printing with cardboard from shelf-stable food packages. An etching needle or embossing tool can be used to create the design on the cardboard, and ink or oil paint can be rubbed into the grooves. Wipe off the excess ink, moisten and blot some paper, place it on top of the cardboard "plate", and burnish the back with a spoon. No press required!

I remember when I was little, how surprised I was with how well my eraser took graphite, lol, it felt so soft, and felt weird, like- this is supposed to make pencil disappear ! So I set to coloring all my pencil erasers 🤪

(✿^‿^) don't worry dude im fine with whatever you do

I hated doing art 95% of my life because nothing turned out as well as I wanted; but I got very sick in 2018. With nothing else to do I started watching a lot of KZread artists & soon felt like trying art myself. I got such peace & enjoyment from it, I took a college art course when I felt better. Of course I was the worst student & was too sick to finish the class but I still received valuable information. My professor said we need to draw as much as possible. Accept that you must get out 1,000 bad drawings before you get to the good ones. In the beginning it was easy to appreciate my bad drawings as part of the learning process, but after gaining experience & being forced to stop because of my health for over 1½ years. it's been very difficult to begin again. I fret that I've lost all of my progress gained & wonder if I'll ever be well enough to reach my artistic goals as I'm only about 550 drawings in due to long & frequent hospitalizations. Thank you for reminding me that failure is not only okay, but it's a very necessary step. I'm just a beginner I don't need to obsess with how quickly I obtain my goals. I just need to be thankful the Lord turned something I seriously disliked into a beautiful & comforting lifeboat that gave me peace & purpose during a crisis.

Lighthouse! That would be SO cool ... with light shining outward!

I tried this after your last video - it’s fun! I just did a simple word stamp for practice, but definitely want to do more. You always have fun ideas to steal! 🤣

I agree

It’s so great you share what doesn’t work, because KZread videos are so edited to perfection, it is very frustrating when we try it at home and it doesn’t work as seamlessly. Thank you so much for pointing this out! It will really help so many people. It’s easy to give up on something when it doesn’t seem to be working out as well for us. This is so, so important! Don’t give up on your work!😊

I have to admit to some nostalgia when I watched this video and the previous one. My favourite class in school back in the murky past, was art class. We did carving on lino and leather, and that was my favourite lesson ever. I still remember making a belt for my father and a stamp or two for my mother who was an avid arts & crafts fan too. It was so relaxing. I must have been either 7-8 yrs old and took it all so seriously back then. I still recall the smell of the lino, leather and ink, as we tried out our stamps etc. Thank you for this video Mira. It was wonderful to watch and recall the past. My favourite stamp you made were the zentangle one, and the teddy one. They were both lovely. God bless you and yours, today and always, and may His grace abound to you today and forever.

I think the pencil stamp is my favorite. I'd definitely watch a part 3 of the resare series!

“resare!!” They all turned out so cute! ♥️

A part 3 would be great! Love watching you create these 😊

I ended up trying a cuticle cutter from the dollar tree (I'm sure you could get a pack of them somewhere else, too) And It worked like a smaller carving tool! Thank's for making these videos, I always look forward to catching up on them lol!

So cuuuute! There may or may not be giant erasers at the dollar tree 👀🏃🏻‍♀️💨 now I gotta go check

Yep. Got a set of 6 for $1.25 Went into a carving frenzy for hours and had a fabulous time. The lines were pretty sharp.bought some more for friends in print class to try. Have fun.

Of course we want a part three, Mira ❤️

I love how simple products can make beautiful art. Thank you for including the mistakes. I am really hard on myself. This is a nice reminder 😊. Thank you!💜 You made some beautiful Zen Tangles also! One of my favorites! Thank you so much for this awesome video! 🥰🌬💜✌

The print gets better the more times you stamp with it! So cool!

Now you could make a coloring page using all these stamps together! ❤

I agree with you, there really is so much satisfaction when doing small art pieces. It’s probably because you get to see the results so quickly. I’ve been procrastinating between my next big painting and doing little watercolours and sketchbook pieces in the meantime. Love these vids and I say go for part 3! 💕

I appreciate all of your designs. I also appreciate you sharing the failure. So good to see that everyone has experiences that don’t then out like we hoped. Totally agree that this isn’t discussed enough! 💓

So happy. I love this series, yes another video please. Thank you for more videos. I love the bear!!!! I love the sea and son. I would love to see you stamp these in colours. Such a fun video. Thank you.

I love this! I tried to make a stamp before from an eraser but it didn’t look anywhere as good as these!

This was so fun to watch. You just let your creativity flow. Definitely would like this series.

Looks like you had a lot of fun with these. Small projects can be just as rewarding as large ones.

Wow your so inspiring to me your the queen of painting water and also the queen of doing stress relieving art

The sun and waves one was so pretty, reminded me of when I went to North Carolina beach ♥️🌞🌊

Love this! you're art is so inspiring to me as a young artist, keep it up!

I hate the person that comments and says you don't do anything hard. You're always full of such bright and beautiful energy and definitely don't deserve it. Plus, you're job is to make videos, so of course you're going to make videos doing the things you enjoy and love. Anyway, I just wanted to counter any of those comments and say that I think you're amazing :)

Fun activity. Great message. My fav was the last one, the flower. Yes to a part 3!

I'm loving this series!! Really inspiring. Thank you! ❤️

I really want to try this now. I kinda liked your "creepy"bear the most.

Wow awesome 🥰

Part 3 please!! My favorites are the pencil and zendangle doodle. So fun!

For little round details like eyes I like to use the blade verticaly, turn it 360° and bam perfect circle out. This technique can also be use for little flower, I used my flat blade like this for stars. Works like à charm

Love this series! My teen and I may try this next weekend. 😊 Resare!

The zentangle one is my favorite as well😊

Pencil and zentangle one are my favourite 😍

Beautiful results!

I would absolutely love a part 3!

This is a unique idea. We hope to see more creative crafts like this. God bless you.

My favourite is the abstract pentangle.. I love the pencil too.

Ope Ope Ope!! Lol resare is an interesting word. Thanks for the constant flow of inspo!!

That flower design was so pretty! It’s a shame it didn’t work out 🥺

Resare! (The little secret comment in the video) Also I loved this video I hope you continue this series, it is really fun to watch!❤

I really like the flower one you did at the end

I may start doing this! I love this!

Such a cute idea! So much less intimidating than a big block. Also - resare

I just adore your videos so much! I've never tried carving my own rubber stamps. However, I'm definitely going to try it at some point.

Serare!!!!!! I love this idea for making personalized stamps

Love it! I am going to have to try this!

these look amazing id love to try this

love the nail colour🥰 and the pencil stamp turned out great

Don't listen to the haters in your comments talking about how your scared to try new things... they don't know what they are talking about. Your real supporters know that's not true because we see you try new things all the time!!

Resare! I love creating with you 💕

More satisfying videos made by hers truly 😌😌😌

Resare!!! Love watching your channel!! 💕

This is so fun!!!! I love the idea! Oh…. Resare. Hee hee 😀😀

Yes to part 3!

I really like this series! Please do a 3rd part!🙂

What a great idea that it is cheap and effective 🙂

I love watching you carve it lol

fav. zen designe, please do more :)

That’s so cool

Resare ✏️🤗💕 I love these fun ideas you bring to us. Thank you

What a lovely video =) Thanks for including the fail/encouragement. That little pencil is so stubby and cute =P

this looks so fun!! i’ll have to do it some time also resare

These are awesome they've inspired me to get my tools for carving stamps back out but I know I need to do something to sharpen them too so I saw in the comments a lady said a whetstone and I'm sure I can get those so anyway I always enjoy your videos

I love these videos

Eraser!! How fun

The zentangle and the pencil were my favourite resare (s)

I don’t know if it works the same as with manufactured rubber stamps but with those of you pat them over with sellotape before you ink them for the first time it helps stop the patchy prints you get first, love this idea I have the carving tool and still some of the Lino that comes with it but I think this would be a good way for me to avoid my “must not waste the materials” thing I have

I know I love part one😊

"Resare" love these videos! 🥰

"It's so difficult to detail the little flower!" *five seconds later* "Let's add a leaf to the flower!"

Plz do PART THREE!❤🎉😊

RESARE! Lmao. ♥ They look so cute and really affective! Would be so great for custom letters/box prints! ✨♥😘

Part 3 would be awesome

I absolutely love this concept! I’ll to get some erasers and a carving tool to do this! *Resare!* and I think the bears name should be Shiva (the Hindu god of destruction)

~Resare~ 😄 I'm late to the carving party due to a busy week, but glad to catch up. Such cute prints! The teddy bear stamp could be named deddy bear (as in deady). Too dark? 😊The zentangle and pencil stamps are my favs. (Yes, to part 3!) I love your message and need to remind myself of this every day.

Please continue with this series! I would love to se you make a monstera leaf!

recare These look fun!

WoW another stamp video I love it ! I’m drawing a teddy bear this afternoon, so funny to see your teddy bear :)

resare. I love your vids! keep it up!

Aaaaa i wanna do the sameee🥺🥺🥺, this ✨️resare😎✨️ stamps is definetly added in my art list 💖💖

Love all your videos. How bout Teddy Krueger🐻

Love this! Also…“Resare”

Resare . I love this idea.

I love this new series ❤. resare

I've definitely used sharpened pencils and paperclips to make stamps. They weren't quite as detailed, and they came out a little rough but they do work, just not as well.

I like your videos so much

I can't wait to try this myself!! I love watching you make yours, but your ink pad does stress me out hahaah

Btw i like this idea i have search for the lino sets but haven't found a good kit yet but I'll keep on it i want to try it

I love the resares lol!

These videos are so cute! I feel like the bear would have a name like Hector 😂 I loved drawing on my erasers as a kid. Resare!

Coooool❤. SCARE BEAR… 😂

Beautiful 😍👍 I liked the pencil and flower ones the most! The teddy bear one was okay too 😊 Btw Mira, do u have a video plan for drawing with wool? ☺ I was wondering if it's possible to stitch them on a canvas in some places while also painting!🤔 Mixed media thing!😂😂

Love these! Resare. Also where did you get the tools?

Resare What a great video!

Resare I wonder how well these would work with gummy type erasers. I loved those as a kid and thought they were the best thing ever i didn't like the pink ones cuz they smeared. This is a very fun idea and i think i might just have to do this.

I'd love to see you try the larger erasers for this. I know Amazon has larger Pink Pearl erasers and even larger pink erasers that aren't a specific brand, so I'm not sure what quality they'd be. Just a thought.

such a good video!!! resare

You should try the reverse coloring book
