Stamping on Wood

Simple Techniques for Adding Texture, Color & Design

Katja Falkenburger

Description

Katja Falkenburger shows you everything you need to know about stamping wood by hand.

Wood stamping is exciting because, unlike metal or paper, wood does not offer a uniform background; the natural design elements found in wood, such as grain, colour gradients, cracks or annual rings, can be incorporated into your stamped-wood creations. This book focuses on stamping techniques that will inspire you to make your own stamped creations that bring out the inherent beauty of the wood.

The book covers

  • Stamping tools
  • Types of wood and how well they stamp
  • 10+ stamping techniques, including vertical, angled, cut and press stamping
  • Using templates and outlines for your designs
  • How the texture, grain and colour of your wood influences your designs
  • Finishing treatments and techniques

By following the techniques outlined in this comprehensive volume, you’ll be able to create your own stamped-wood craft and enhance the beauty of any wooden object!
