Carving a Chinese Chop with a Dremel Tool

When you buy a Japanese/ Chinese calligraphy kit they nearly always come with an uncarved (blank) chop (stamp). That way you get to choose for yourself which symbol you use with which to sign your pieces. • The material the flat chop is made out of is quite soft. It's very easy to carve this into any design you wish. In this video we use a Dremel tool, which is a motorized carving device. You can also easily use any standard carving types of tools. • A Dremel tool is simply a hand-held motorized device with interchangeable heads which lets you drill, carve, sand, buff, etc. things that involve rotation. Here's an example on Amazon - • https://amzn.to/2PfBTAy • (affiliate link) • The carving was done by my delightful partner of 20+ years, Bob See. • Please ask with any questions, I'm happy to help! If you'd like a video on another aspect of using this kit, just let me know. • Be sure to check out all of my videos on Chinese / Japanese Calligraphy - • • Japanese / Chinese Calligraphy • For more photos and information about my artwork and calligraphy, visit: • https://LisaShea.com • Lovely music is Ripples Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License • http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... • • I have a selection of my origami crane earrings and personalized lotus flowers available at: • https://www.etsy.com/shop/lisasheadotcom • #calligraphy #calligraphyart #japaneseculture
