Three New Carvings To Share

 This is an antique rail road lantern

that a customer wanted carved into a rubber stamp. 

I am always interested in carving something

new and different and I really like this image.

I like the holes at the top of the 

lantern, and all of the 

wire work is interesting. They also wanted 

initials carved into the glass globe.

 

Here is a hand carved rubber stamp of some 

Japanese Kanji.

I believe they say Good Luck, Prosperity and 

Long Life

 

These three 'Mid Century' cats were so much 

fun to carve into rubber stamps. I am a huge cat (dog's, too!) fan. 

But something about the 1950's and 1960's style just seems

to have a pull on me. The walking cat is after a silver 

pin that a dear cousin gave me when I was quite young. 

I must have liked it, even then,because 

I have saved it for many years!
