rubber stamp tweaks

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.

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.

Yup. Also, I'm kinda stupid.

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

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