Cutting My Own Stamps To Stamp Paper

I finally finished cutting my first "Safety-Kut" block stamp which is 12" x 12" and is used to create the papers I make for my collages. This design came courtesy of my art teacher, Anne Bagby, but I just ordered 30 of these blocks, and am in the process of transferring 26 of my own hand drawn pen and ink circular designs onto these block...then the fun begins. The blocks have to be carved, as you can see in the far left of the three squares. Once you have carved it out, then you can ink it and stamp your papers (the far two right papers have been stamped).
