day eighty: 158

'work with homonyms today (bear/bare, night/knight, sail/sale).'

snail MAIL & snail MALE! i knew this was the homonym i wanted to work with for a long time but never knew how i wanted to do it. my brother is about to leave on an LDS mission next week for two years so i will be sending lots and lots of mail, so i thought i could make something to stamp on his letters. i didn't add the mustache to the stamp but i drew it on with a sharpie. i really wanted to be lazy tonight since i've had something going on all day or the past three days but i'm glad i sat down and carved this little guy out tonight.

  1. That is great! Everyone will always know when he has a letter from you.

  2. This is pun-a-licious! Love the 'stash... very dignified.

    I adore wood cuts (and rubber cuts). I might just have to do hand-cut hand-print for my blog.
