rubber stamp tweaks

[phosfate]

For those times when a stamp is nearly perfect...

Before:


After:


If you're planning on altering an already-mounted stamp, use an X-Acto with a brand-new blade. Or it could get bloody very quickly.

Now THERE'S competent editing.

[thornsilver]

Why, though?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Dull blade on vulcanized rubber = stabby punctury blade slippage that hurts and bleeds. A lot.

[thornsilver]

No, why adjust the stamp?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Because someone has to warn the world.

[kivrin.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

[mpoetess.livejournal.com]

WIN. Except for the bloody part. Though I suppose that could make for some dramatic embellishments around the stamp...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

The, ah, the last time it happened to me, there was also a burst tube of superglue involved (I was customizing an action figure). I bled like crazy, and the glue went all over my hands and into my eye.

I had to bandage the wound using my teeth, and then dial the Poison Control Hotline with my hands glued together.

Careful with the blade, is what I'm saying.

Truly, you suffer for your art.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Yup. Also, I'm kinda stupid.

[strigine.livejournal.com]

...were the Poison Control people able to keep a straight face during that call, once it was ascertained you weren't, yanno, dying?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I...I didn't really go into the circumstances much past OMG SUPERGLUE IN EYE DYING. It would only have upset her. >.>

[some-stars.livejournal.com]

God damn, you're a badass. :D

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Fortunately, the hysterical tears helped flush out my eye.

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

Don't do things like that, please.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

You are the coolest person I know.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

THE WORLD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE DANGER!

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's really much better, isn't it?

I had a rubberstamp with a rather elegant image of a faery on it: the only problem was, she had rather obvious, obnoxiously large, nipples poking through her draped tunic (an otherwise-talented fanboy comic artist had drawn the image for the rubberstamp.) Yes, I carefully sliced out the nipples and rendered her G-rated. I essentially put a bra on her under that tunic, you could say.

Did the artist's name rhyme with Dot Dozema?

O_O

AWESOME!

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd like that <3

Awesome.

"Morrie, cut those bagels *away* from your neck!"

Re: Awesome.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Nag, nag, nag!

[dr-tectonic.livejournal.com]

Okay, hi, I just fixed my awesome-ometer! What is the point, if you're going to insist on breaking it?

Superglue in eye is bad, but it does work well for closing up wounds...

True! It was originally developed as an emergency battlefield suture.

[kyuuketsukirui.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

I'm glad someone is warning the world about the dangers. Just because they're cute doesn't mean that they're not deadly.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

They're nippy. And they'll come into your tent and take your stuff.

Bastards.

[mechturtle.livejournal.com]

They're godless killing machines, but better dressed.

[sorchar.livejournal.com]

That rocks!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Hilarious alteration. Very clean, too.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[ymfaery]

Beware the giant panda menace! :O

Oh, no, there goes Tokyo!

(I'm assuming it walked there from China.)

[ymfaery]

It can't be much of a walk--it's only across the sea. And Tokyo is the first stop on the Path of Monstrous Worldwide Destruction after all.
