Started new proj:  Rubber stamp.  Chopped out a chunk and considered trying my red uakari monkey face logo then bagged the idea.  I figure I need to start with a less complicated thing to carve.

… so I went with text only.  I printed it in reverse and normally so I could have a reference of what it would look like during and after carving.

I got it traced onto the rubber block by penciling-in the logo on tracing paper and rubbing it onto the block.  Then came the carving.  Then came the delicious slicing.  Then came the me getting carried away.  Then came … I gotta start over.  Ha ha.  Moral:  Don’t drink and carve intricate rubber blocks with razors.  I’m fine but the block is quite rogered.

Pile of debris.  Ha.  It was fun to scrape it all off and plan a new attack on the reverse side.  yay.  Good night and Happy VD!!

Here’s the Cubs clingy I made on Day 06 of 29.  It turned out great and sticks to the sliding-glass door like a champ.  I’m going to make some reversal clingys for my pals’ cars.  Go Cubs!
