Moderator bruce johnson Posted October 17, 2007 Moderator Report Posted October 17, 2007 This is the only meander stamp I own. I generally don't care for them. A buddy sent me a scan of some stamping tools Don Butler used to make. I saw a likeness of this stamp and remarked that it was the only meander that looked like I might want. Few days later this old McMillen showed up on ebay. It has a little different base (arched rather than flat) which I found interesting, and the little groove with the dots at each end was kind of cool. It arrives and my wife has it open and played with it before I got home. She showed me what she did. If you want to do something with a tool that it is not designed for, give it to my wife. I am attaching a scan of the stamp, a quick border done with it, and her two renditions of a geometric pattern with it. BTW, the geometric patterns cover some acreage in a hurry. No real names for them yet, but I am calling them the "Rundi shell" and the "Rundi snowflake".

Contributing Member ClayB Posted October 18, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted October 18, 2007 Why is everybody picking on me????? Rundi started this by using the dang stamp wrong!!! I think she is gonna owe me a drink in Sheridan nest year. The rest of you need to leave me alone, I have had a traumatic week already. A trip to the emergence room, next day the hospital, and 2 visits with a urologist. And if that last visit to the urologist wasn't demoralizing enough, he told me I need to give up cafiene, chocolate, and salt! That should be enough for anyone, but on top of that I DONT get to go to Fort Worth. Don't you think I deserve an extra doughnut??? Heck, I think I deserve that drink right now!!!!
