these guys show up to the feast, drink your mulled wine, slap your squire's ass and call your liege a knave, wyd ?

Slowly feeling more confident with my carving. I have some larger pieces of rubber on the way, and I think when they arrive I'll be ready to take another crack at one of @shelternmberone 's gorgeous Vash designs :D

Work has been busy lately, so missed out on practicing my carving the last couple of weeks, but I've taken an extra day off this week to recoup and will be doing another stamp tomorrow I think :3

Feedback and advice always welcome!

DODGE 🌠 I absolutely love all the small art details in Baldur's Gate, like the ability and achievement icons. So here's a stamp of the symbol for 'uncanny dodge'—a passive skill of my faaaaaavorite rogue~

A while ago I made some little stamps of my crested geckos footprints. I have been putting them on a lot of letters and journals ever since! 😅

First attempt at a tiny book. I made a couple of mistakes but I'm proud of it~

[evil-cakes]

ever since i've figured out how to put books together by just sewing them, i've been making lots of them. these ones here are for a ongoing personal project, and putting this stuff together has been lots of fun! I made a lot of textured paper using acrylic paints and put those sheets together in these books, the backsides of these pages remain blank, and that's deliberate!

other than that, i made stamps, and stamped away, printmaking has become one of my all time favourite things over these past few months, so i'm going to be making lots more stamps in the foreseeable future hopefully :3

(water-soluble ink stamps on textured (paint) and non-textured cartridge paper - the pages were sown together using yarn)

Played around with one of the stamps I got from the thrift store today, this deer looked so cursed I couldn’t not get him. I’m excited to try out the rest and experiment with them in my art!

a knight's valor is not measured by his tutu, but any brave and courtly warrior should know how to wield one

I've been over the moon about the response to my silly little crafts and it's inspiring me greatly

Ok, I did some review of my fav carving channels' videos, and tried a different approach to the initial image transfer and the carving, much better results!!

Vash's hair was a WHOLE THING xD

I'm still waiting on the bigger pieces of rubber and have to print off a larger image, but all going well, I'll be trying my first big stamp of one of @shelternmberone 's Vash pieces next weekend! Might even do a two-colour print of it if it comes out well <3

I carved some lily pad and flower stamps to go with the fish I made years ago! Also tested some new ink.

Day 2 of on the job training

There isn't much I can do on my own without help. So when it gets busy, my experienced seniors take over and I am relegated to easy tasks that don't require much knowledge. I may not be able to handle complicated transactions, but I DO know how to pack a birthday present securely and decorate lovely boxes.

Months ago, in preparation for this very time, I invested in a wax seal set and an ink stamp set. My plan was to offer these to customers as a free little extra service, to decorate their parcels and seal their letters.

And today, barely into my new position, I got to offer my decorations to my first customer! She said she didn't mail things often and needed help packing up a handmade birthday gift to send to a friend. I helped her choose supplies and pack them safely. Then, I asked if she would like to decorate the box with some ink stamps. She was surprised and delighted when she saw the stamps and eagerly adorned her box with roses, vines, and "special delivery" in swooping calligraphy. It turned out rather cute and I daresay it will put a big smile on the birthday girl's face when she finds it on her porch.

The top manager heard about my stamps later and seemed impressed by the unique idea. I think we're both looking forward to lots of happy customers!
