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.

A printing cone comprising:
- a core having a cone-shaped exterior;
- pins having inner ends attached to the cone-shaped exterior and having outer ends extending outward from the cone-shaped exterior;
- and
- inking cord configured to wind between and among the pins;
- wherein the inking cord is configured to be coated with ink and to print onto a substrate when the cone-shaped exterior is rolled over the substrate in a manner to cause the inking cord to contact the substrate.
