Doily

Stamped Doily
Ever since I saw this doily stamp at Etsy I've been wanting to carve my own.
Ready to Carve
My friend Margie made me fall in love with doilies
and her crochet covered stones are always a source of inspiration & smiles for me :)
The Aftermath
I drew the doily directly onto the rubber carving block.
First some concentric circles with a compass and then I drew the pattern in freestyle.
Carved Stamp
It took me a couple of hours to carve it.
It is by far the most complicated stamp I've done.
