IF IT WERE A PERFECT WORLD....

...then all of my rubber stamp carving would turn out perfect!

I hesitated-for a moment-in posting this attempt at my Monkey stamp. Afterall - it wasn't PERFECT! So, I decided to write on the sign the monkey's are holding "Strive For Imperfection".

I've been carving rubber since December 25, 2005 and already I get frustrated if it doesn't come out RIGHT. I really need to loosen up! :-)

The Beatles sing "everybody's got something to hide, 'cept me and my monkey!"..so I decided not to hide my monkey's..no matter how imperfect they turned out tonight. It was FUN, and I learned not to carve when I'm tired!
