Methods and apparatus for hand printing designs and patterns
Abstract:
Elements for hand printing designs and patterns include cone pin blocks, flat pin blocks, and multisided sequence stamps. A cone pin block generally has a circular cross-section and is rolled in order to make symmetrical, circular or partial-circle designs. Flat pin blocks have a flat surface. The pin blocks have pins extending out of the cone surface or the flat surface. Flexible inking cord material is threaded between the pins in a chosen pattern. The inking material collects liquid ink by absorption or surface adhesion, which is transferred to a base by rolling or stamping. Multisided sequence stamps include left and right handles and multisided blocks disposed between the two handles. The blocks have relief designs on their peripheral side surfaces, either formed directly on the surface of the blocks or formed on rings that slide over the blocks. The blocks (and pattern rings if used) are many sided (e.g. hexagonal) with different embossed designs on different sides. Each block and/or pattern ring is individually rotatable relative to the other blocks/rings and may be added, removed, or exchanged with other blocks.
