Well, I tried. I tried to do homemade block printing with clay but failed miserably! 😂
With air-dry clay, my intent was to carve out different designs to stamp prints on paper.
I believe where I went wrong was the surface of the clay was not even before putting in the impressions. Second, I likely did not have a sharp enough tool when etching out the lines.
In my second attempt, I wrapped string around the dry clay block which helped give a better definition of lines to stamp on paper. ~ JM

| Second attempt. Applying the wrapped-around string clay block to the paper. A little better than the first attempt. |
