Squirrels and Autumn hand carved stamp elements by Andrea Lauren

Creating some more Autumn themed design elements for my pattern library and new fabric collection. These Squirrels and extra bits were carved from rubber blocks and printed by hand for this art print which I shared on my Instagram feed.  I rarely share the process of scanning the stamps into the computer, but it always involves re-inking and printing the blocks in solid black on very thin paper from which I can get a consistent look and texture.  Cleaning up the elements can be time consuming if I have been in a hurry to carve the blocks, but I try to keep the handcarved look in the finished design.  Here they are pictured below.
