My first ever hand-carving, folks: critiques encouraged, but be gentle. =smile= The Staedtler Master Carve turned out to be pretty crumbly, so I'm going to switch to something else in the future. The idea here was to depict Edgar A. Poe's black cat, which has but one eye (after its master gouged out the other one). I got the idea from seeing my own black cat Annabel Lee brightly lit from one side, casting one of her eyes into shadow, and with one of her ears turned sideways. Fortunately, she stayed still long enough for me to make sketches!

This large, superb, rubber stamp of a Pinfish is from Fred B. Mullett. I wanted to learn basic fish anatomy, so I labeled its parts.

This was for a Rubber Stamp "Techniques" swap. The new technique I experimented with was masking: I masked the octopus and the fish, and also all 4 squares for the background. The 6 fabulous rubber stamps used here are from Fred B. Mullett.
