I feel as if I'm ready to give up on this large carved stamp! I have managed to fill in the gouge that I mistakenly made under the outstretched arm, but I just can't get a good print of the little boy, his reflection and the patterned carpet under his feet.
This isn't too bad, except that I've painted in a lot of the missed patches of ink, and unless it all dries evenly, the patching up will show, which is not a good look!
Even though I used a template to make a clear un-stamped place for the feet, I just haven't managed to do it accurately. I would be happy to leave it as it comes if the rest of the print was good, but so far none of them really are. In the photos the hair looks like an odd helmet, so maybe it's time to call defeated !
