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. 

gocco-ing again :)
