Since I still don't have a printer, I made postcards for my monthly swap group. I made the stamp last year, put it away and promptly forgot about it. But I was at PearlPaint in Ft Lauderdale and they were having their usual clearance sale. And there was this little speedball print press. It was a return and had paint on it and was on sale for 40% off and I had 30% coupon. It was so cheap they should have just given it to me. The stamp is 4"x6" and I carved it tilted like that. It really prints much better with the press then by just hand pressing. I used a pigment ink pad with watercolor markers. My usual markers are alcohol based and would just go right through the wc paper.
So here are 2 of the 10 postcards I made. And that really is the shape of my sofa just not the color.
Awesome! You will be doing collographs next! ;-)

Brenda's collograph inspired this. But I needed more immediate results. But that's next :D
