Some mornings I wake up from this dream about a friend I haven't seen in 20-odd years, and my chest feels hollowed out with longing for him, for that connection. It feels deliciously right and disappointingly sad at the same time. It's a mystery.

Day of the Dead carved stamp
I carved a new stamp! I love carving stamps. I'm doing a Day of the Dead shrine and also a fat book, so I wanted something new to use, a new image. I looked through my book of images I've saved for inspiration, and found this page from a book about the holiday. That's the small image on the right. I added a scarf and left off the moon and stars on his nightshirt, and here's what I came up with. You can see both my stamp and the image it makes when I use it. Isn't it cool? I love it!
Okay, well, I don't have any carving utensils or skill. So. Send this over.
