Seagull and horizon

This ex-libris appeared to me from a balcony with the sea on the horizon and the seagulls flying over it. I assure you that I saw this image and I searched, searched for days, drawing non-stop, changing colors, shapes of the sea, directions of wings flying, until I found it.
A handmade ex-libris stamp
A handmade ex-libris is my signature stamp. Each of these stamps is handmade, one by one, with special attention to avoid wasting material. They are equipped with an ergonomic wooden handle, designed to provide ease and comfort in the stamping process.
But that's not all: each ex-libris is a personalized work. All you need to do is fill in your name in the Inscription section, and your stamp will take on a unique dimension. This way, every time you stamp your ex-libris, you will be leaving a distinctive mark on your book collection.
A two-color ex-libris stamp
This ex-libris stamp features a two-color printing, which means that its design will be made through two different stamps: one in blue and the other in yellow. The stamping process involves the sequential application of both stamps; in this case, I recommend you start by stamping the yellow one and move on to the blue one.
Choose options
It's very simple: you will receive one stamp for each color and two colored inks. During stamping, use only one ink for each stamp. If you want the impression to be perfect, you can mark the boundaries of the first stamp with a pencil before stamping, so you can place the second stamp with the other color in the same position.
In general, an ex libris stamp takes one business day to manufacture, so it is usually shipped the day after you place your order.
It is advisable to clean the ex-libris at the end of each use so that the stamp is kept in good condition and the ink can be changed without the previous one leaving a trace.
After marking your books, take a sheet and stamp the stamp until there is no visible ink left. Do not wash it with water or use solvents, as they may damage the engraving. Avoid rubbing it against abrasive surfaces or using scouring pads.
