Lyn, I missed this one - very funny. Love your Gocco work. Have you been checking out what other inks and things you can use? (Was reading that somewhere this morning, so I'm pretending I know all about it!)
I bought a great book today called 'Costume Dolls' (1964), it says there's a craft shop at 12 Magdalen Street, called J L Standeven. You could pop there later!!
Oh no! It's the worst when somebody loses an eye. Such a buzz kill. It's a good thing he's a cute little bugger to make up for that lost eye. Plus I bet he could make up a good tale as to how he lost it :).
Isn't carving those things addictive? I think so! Watching the bits coil up and fall away is sort of mesmerizing.
Is this Gocco? I have been wanting one so badly... but scared about the future inavailability of supplies. I am wondering what Gocco owners plan to do then -- is there some way to rig something up so you can keep using it? What do you think?

Blimey, you can tell them it'll end in tears but cute things wil be cute things... and BOY are they cute things!
I'm thinking a pirate patch would be a very attractive addition, I had one for a lazy eye when I was 5 and loved it.

What are you using to make stamps? gonks? linoleum? biscuits?
I'd like to give it a try but things that require patience tend to be beyond me.

It's really cute ! I'd like to try too !
What sort of ink can I use ?
Nice work and sorry for the teddy bear's eye !

Your little characters are so cute. The one that lost the eye made me laugh.

Looks like great fun despite the lost eye!

Could you stitch him up a little eye patch? I think he'd look quite dashing....
Posted by: LLA | February 14, 2006 at 02:11 AM
You know, you could always carve a plaster stamp and fix it... :-)
