Description
In my last year in high school, in art class we did stamps. I spent hours carving out this design from a square of rubber then we printed them by rolling paint on them and stamping it. I had two really good ones, but here is one.

That is a fantastic design! I've worked with block prints/stamps before so I know that it can be a tricky, intricate process.

Thank you! And yes, it was tricky C: but very rewarding and fun! I wish I could do more... maybe some day I'll go out and buy some supplies. Hnnn~ either way, thanks again!

Indeed! It didn't take so long to get the drawing done, but then to transfer it on to the rubber stamp and carve it out? Took a few hours. The printing was my favorite part, though! Rolling the paint on and stamping it, especially being around my friends while we did it was fun C:
And thank you!

I bet it was! 
Did you just use a razor blade or something similar to that?

Awwww XD I've never carved a potato so I wouldn't know O-o~
And no, we used proper carving tools C: each one shaped differently for a different shred. We had to do it layer by layer, colouring the pieces we wanted to shave Black so we could tell XD
The little tool we had was like a mini screw driver with interchangeable screws. You could pop off and on whatever head you needed and then little by little scrap away. We weren't allowed to carve through to the other side and we could tell because the middle was tinted orange. When you saw the orange then you knew you were deep enough C:

Far out, that sounds pretty neat! Be glad you never worked with potatoes. Our hs art teacher wasn't the best. lol

I loved the project, no matter how much my back hurt when I was done. X3
Awwww D: I had a very passionate art teacher, but a poor school so we lacked a lot of necessities and missed out on some cool projects

We had the funds, but an inept teacher. lol She would do things like bring her husband's shoes, and tell us to draw them. "Still life!"

People would kill to have that on a tapestry. You might make some $$$.

If it's cost effective and you can find the fabric for it, people love tapestry and mandala stuff for their altars and stuff... you could see if you could see them at a fair?

I guess so. I'll most likely have to wait for the weather to get nice again in the summer for Art in the Park to come back. LOVE that place~

I know, I can't wait for some fair or show to buy a bunch of candles and shit from. Small and local, nothin' like the big ones here.
Too bitter about retiring my rabbitry, I don't want to see any fucking shows...

A rabbitry is basically a collection of rabbits, bred for a specific purpose (show, meat, fur, etc.), usually professionally (there are such things as "back yard breeders", like there are of dogs and cats.) I'm 3rd generation, in Hungary rabbits were killed for their meat, in America they were raised for meat and also quality of breed traits (including non-meat breeds), I bred for traits and standards, but never got a chance to join an organization and professionally show.
I'm just bitter as fuck for everything that happened, let alone their death (and I'm burning the hutches cuz anything in there will drop from myxomatosis.)

Ohhhh I see. D: gosh... what happened?

It's kind of hard to talk about... I mean it's not just about the rabbits themselves, it's about health issues and ESPECIALLY FAMILY.
Plus my niece wanted a guinea pig and she was begging me three months for an early birthday present so I figured what the Hell why not let her hold a rabbit. So she begged me three months for a fucking guinea pig but left my rabbit a cripple in ten seconds. See I was ok with it while he was alive, and especially since he still appreciated life and played even though he forever had a bad limp and just motor problems in general, but since his death I've just been a bitter fucking bitch and I now realized how complicated family life is so I can't go around being a cunt about it.
Also I was a saddled with a rabbit she didn't want when she was younger, and I'm angry about Luke's death, because yeah Luke did rip her and everybody else up, you can't give an 8 year old a rabbit like that, but my "timid wild one" was tamed by me and I had the honor of his trust, you know? Plus I was lied to about gender and breed. Male, that's the easy part, homologous gene Netherland Dwarf is actually kind of hard to distinguish for people who don't know what they are. But, because of that, I know more about rabbits than I have before. Nobody gave Luke a chance, he would have ended up in PAWS or someshit. And I'm just so embittered by the fact that if me and Luke had more time, I could have socialized him and I would have shown them all that Luke is really a loving emotional creature.
And just... so much more shit about my animals and what the future of my rabbitry would be and health reasons and arrrgh.
