Thanks Marie!  :D  LOL, Camel, is that right?  How cool they are so easy to get now.  Yes, the technique can be more important than the tools but ideas are even more important than skill. ;)

Camel, I have yet to use any electric tools for carving - lots of people seem to do it but I like the zen-like meditational aspect of carving a lot. Still, I should try it sometime - would be easier on my hands and wrists I'm guessing...? I have some repetitive use injuries to deal with (though not carpal tunnel syndrome, thankfully!).

Yeah, it's the tools which make the most difference on softcut like speedball pink, Jen. That stuff actually holds fine-line cuts well but you need the right tools to make them on that stuff. An x-acto knife is good and so are scalpels (though very dangerous if you aren't used to them) - love dental picks also but most people don't have those. x-acto blades are just fine. :D The main thing is not to use them like you're holding a pen or pencil, but like you're holding a sumi-e brush or a rapidograph pen, straight up and down. That way you can make precise cuts with amazing control.

Oh, I love that rabbit Marie!  Would you consider sending me some rabbit stamps for my year of the rabbit extravaganza?  I could send you some of mine in return.

 

This is my 2nd celebration of the golden rabbit year - the first was when I was born almost 60 years ago!  So, I'm asking everyone who is doing rabbit stuff to send me something so I can drown in the glow.  :D  The image I'm using as my profile pic is detail from my first rabbit stamp for the year - there will be many more... also, I've made lots of rabbit stamps in the past and have those to trade also.

"This mouth is mine!" And it´s shouting FREEDOM!!!! ....

I made this stamps from fragments of some images I made this year. The original work has been stolen during an exhibition in my city. But now they are traveling by e-mail and Mail Art... Trying to make something interesting after that bad experience!!!
