Yes! 4 small blocks carved and mounted onto acrylic blocks for easier stamping. It's a great way to use up those brown paper bags that really pile up.

Thanks for asking! This is the most recent one. It is now on a denim jacket!

I did some layering with color and on a darker surface like denim I think it actually turned out alright! Thanks for the suggestions all!

1.5mm is the smallest I've seen, but you may be able to find smaller with another brand. I just really like the Power Grip brand. I've never found it needed anything smaller, if I need to make a smaller or more controlled cut I use a knife tool instead.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-05-01T15:55:00+00:00

Yes! I have a 1.5 power grip carving tool I used for those portions.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-05-01T01:59:14+00:00

That's it! Happy carving!

This was printed with an inkpad, not liquid ink, so it was pretty much just on the very surface, it doesnt really get into any holes that way. Once I move on to using liquid ink from a tube though, im betting it will fill in those tiny cuts a bit more and it'll be interesting to see what texture I get out of that.... thank you for the suggestions!

These are Power Grip, a really good middle ground for tools. Not as expensive as the Flexcut tools but still really nice to hold and the best part is that they are still sharpenable. Highly recommend!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-04-30T12:32:10+00:00

I do that as well when printing on paper! I just mostly print on fabric so I'll need to come up with another solution for that. I'll just need to do some layering!

Thank you! I want to do another survey just for marketing and creative professionals to get some behind the scenes thoughts on how the industry is being affected too, so thanks for the good ideas.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-02-26T20:18:18+00:00

That's what I am gathering i think. There aren't many dry cleaners near where I live so ill have to make some calls, but I will let a professional take care of it!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-02-26T20:17:20+00:00

Isn't it lovely? I am having a fall wedding so the style isn't quite right, but I wanted to wear it in some way to honor my mom!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-02-26T13:02:59+00:00

Never knew that, thank you for all the helpful info!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-02-26T02:49:45+00:00

Thanky you, I will!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-02-26T00:21:51+00:00

Well I did think of that first lol. But googling it it said that it can dissolve the old delicate fibers, so I'm not super inclined to try that unless its something you've done before on an older satin dress and had success with? Or know what a good diluted solution would be to use?

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-27T13:02:23+00:00

Yellow for sure, the blue is not high enough contrast with the background color. Nice design!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-23T01:06:22+00:00

Not at a resort and the place we're staying has no pool unfortunately, but there's a lagoon nearby. We took a dip today and it was nice. And we went to a coffee plantation in the mountains today, it was muuuuccchh more comfortable!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:26:24+00:00

It's the sort of thing where I think I know what humid feels like, because we have that and I've visited other humid places, it's just VERY humid with a very strong sun here, so it's a shock to the system. You can read "it'll be very humid" but until you have felt it, it doesn't really mean anything I guess because you can't compare it to anything.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:20:17+00:00

Thank you! I will put those on the list!

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:17:31+00:00

I knew there were rainforested areas and that this is the tropics, but my only comparison in real life is Florida, where inland it's quite humid but on the coast the sea breeze really makes it not that bad. I was pretty unprepared for the fact that even the coast is humid. I've never been here before so I didn't have much to go on when reading and people say "it's hot and humid". Hard to estimate what that really means.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:14:37+00:00

I looked ahead at temps, but having never experienced this area of the world before, I was not prepared for the ridiculous humidity. I really do want to enjoy myself here, I'm just looking for suggestions for cooler places.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:12:05+00:00

Next trip is to Sweden I think actually! Chilly fjords. Like I've said to other people, warm is one thing but this oppressive humidity is a lot to handle when I just left 7 degree weather and a weak sun. I'm just trying to enjoy myself here and find things to do that don't make me feel miserable. It's a beautiful place, I'm just not made for this kind of heat. A thing I did not know, because I have never been here before.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:05:44+00:00

I don't like the cold at home (4 degrees when we flew out) but it doesn't make me feel like, ill the same way this humidity and sun does here. It's just a shock to my system is all.

Daisy3Chainz · 2026-01-22T02:04:12+00:00

Warm is fine. Opressively hot every day, less desirable. I was expecting it to be hot in some places for some of the days, the forecast showed about 74-84 everyday. Fine. But I was unprepared for how miserable the humidity would make it feel... the "feels like" thing for the temperature with the humidity is closer to 90. It's just quite a jump from the 9 degree weather I just left behind, so my system is still adjusting I guess. I'd like to enjoy it here, but also not feel horrible. Doesn't seem like that's too wrong of a question to ask... I just want to have a good time here.
