late night project



It took me such a long time to make this. Perhaps my hands aren't steady enough, or I just haven't found the right carving tool. I'm still experimenting :)  Will I ever perfect this art? Until then, I will droll over those amazing handmade rubber stamps I see on the Japanese craft blogs.

buttons or magnets?

stitching these are so not good for my vision, but somehow I keep coming back to them. I guess I really like they way they look. should they become buttons or magnets?
