In a high school art class (about 6 years ago) we made these things where we carved into a pad with exacto knives and other little carving/cutting utilities!. The pad seemed to have a rubbery,eraser like texture and was not difficult to cut into at all!. I would say you could cut into the pad about 1/8" to 1/4" of an inch deep!.
The idea was to make a big stamp out of it and then stamp a piece of paper!. I ended up thinking the pad itself was much cooler and painted it different colors and such!.
I was wondering if any of you know what type of art this is and where I could find these supplies!. I honestly don't know what to ask for when I go into art stores, but I'd really like to start doing this again!.
