My very first post!
This blog is dedicated to rubber stamp carvings,
primarily,but also prints made from other
types of carvings now and then.
This is a print from a rubber stamp carving I recently finished
of my Uncle Bud, a fabulous wood carver, now retired at 90.
When he was cleaning out some of his supplies and unfinished
starts I noticed he was going to throw a half finished bird, a Robin , I think, away! I couldn't bear the thought. And now it sits in my kitchen and I love looking at it-and thinking of him- every time I walk by.
Sometimes little things like that are so important, a little thread that connects us to the ones that we love so dearly. I know if he wasn't stricken with Alzheimer's he would still be carving and would most likely have loved creating hand carved images on rubber, too.
