The carving continues...

So, it's 9:30 am on the sixth day of my staycation and already today I've carved two stamps. Time to put the tools down.  I've got a lot of outdoor things planned today, but it looks like I won't get a lot of the things that I had previously wanted to do on my list done this week.  Doesn't matter though, I've managed to do a lot as well as catch up on sleep and importantly be flexible in deciding what I want to do each day.

There is something satisfying about finishing a carve.  I tend to choose images though that end up taking a long time to carve - either because of the details, inclusion of text, or size - and I forget how satisfying it is to just churn out a stamp in a few hours.

This is one that I finished today:

Just ignore the poor transfer there...

Fourteen words in total on the image, as well as design parts that aren't text.  Took longer than anticipated (usually does) so I had to set it aside a few times in order to get it done.  But it is done and I carved another today.  Awesome.

Behind on book binding though, hmmm...

Hope everyone is enjoying the crazy April weather!
