While in college... I did this little project that entailed me drawing a design, transferring it to a rubber block, carving out the design, rolling it with ink, then stamping it to paper.... for some reason, I kind of want to do it again.
But then I thought... what good would taking up my rubber stamp ways be to myself? I guess I'll get to have a whole bunch of pieces of paper with stamped designs on them around. -_- Yay....
So then I thought... why not do it right? Why not buy really nice paper and envelopes, and make notecards, then open up a shop on etsy, make a little side money, and donate 25% of my earnings to an orphanage that my church supports in Bangladesh? Now THAT sounded like a good idea.
So while still mostly an idea, and a process that can't even begin to start until I get my freelance projects under control, it's something I'm really excited about. I'll start creating different designs over the next month and try coming up with something modern, yet different... then master the technique of carving all of it out of rubber. I WON'T have to be on a computer, and yet I'll still be being creative. I like the sound of that...
So I guess right now my goal is making the initial investment and get the creative juices flowing. Let's say... Etsy shop opening will be March 1, 2011. I'll shoot for that goal. And we'll see what becomes of it. =)
On another note... It snowed. ^_^
And while it was snowing... I made a big steak dinner for John and I on our one month anniversary.
Then we took a walk in the snow and got our mail. =) It was fun... cold... but fun.
I <3 you, sweets.
