I finally bought a stamp pad, so I carved a rough little “stamp” stamp that is basically a frame for whatever I want to draw and put into it. In this case, I tried out some little portraits, a question mark, a rabbit (or kangaroo?) and a mouse deer. The mouse deer has fangs, and it’s a mythical trickster in the Philippines. I also carved an even rougher little “IUOMA” stamp (International Union of Mail Artists).
It has been difficult for me to get moving on even the most simple art projects this month. So I have to celebrate when I do any little thing . . .
