Hi there, really enjoying my time on this forum... been a bit addicted over the past couple of days!! 
I've recently started teaching myself to hand carve my own rubber stamps and I'm really enjoying this technique.
Has anyone else on here have experience of this technique? Have you got any tips and hints for me?
I've got some excellent Staedtler tools on recommendation on a blog I found online but not finding many stockists of the carving blocks in the UK.
If you have made them do you mount them on wooden blocks or just leave them as a chunk of rubber?
If you are a rubber stamper, have you used hand carved stamps before?
