I made a very simple "positive" stamp for my first personal with a
rubber stamp, it was pretty rough, but not bad. I put in an order
with stampeaz and got my order in today. I scanned out my picture
(Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes) and traced it and transferred it. LOL,
I'm laying on my floor carving it now, had to take a break before my
back seized up on me. I have almost all the inside parts carved out,
then I'll just have to "trace" it with the #1 blade, and gouge out
the blank spots around it. I'll probably scan it and upload it, see
what you guys think :) I couldnt have just done a big easy negative
stamp, I had to make it hard on myself :)

A very cool stamp! Viva el Calvin!
My biggest 'occupational hazard' when carving is eye fatigue. If I
do not look off into the distance every few minutes, my distance
vision gets blurry. Ah, the joys of turning 40!
