I carved a stamp for someone today. Well okay, I finished it today. This it the 4th time I've carved for someone else using a theme I did not choose myself. But it was different this time. This was a very specific stamp and while I loved carving it, it was most certainly not in my usual genre. It is very architectual, I had to have my nephew help me with the perspective as I am a very 2D carver still. I would have never done something like that on my own and as I sat carving those little straight (ish) lines I was happy. Happy to be pushed to try something new. Happy to see it form up fairly well. Happy to learn. I think I am a perpetual student at heart, I love learning new things when I can. I would hope to think that I am one of those old dogs who CAN learn new tricks. I am not the person I was 10 years ago, not the person I was 20 years ago, for better or for worse I have changed, I hope it continues.
Non sum qualis eram.
