bruce johnson Report post 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". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CitizenKate Report post Posted October 17, 2007 After seeing this, I'm going to have to play with mine and see what other stamping patterns I can come up with. Thanks for the photos! Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClayB Report post 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!!!!

freak Report post Posted October 18, 2007 That's really nice stuff Bruce. Now it's got me stinkin thinkin of what i can come up with. Clay, Clay, Clay, no matter how hard you try , you'll never find happiness in the bottom of a doughnut box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Clay, Wow, sounds like no fun, I just get things like dislocations, rotater cuff tears, and the latest was viral encephalitis (probably not West Nile). Since Rundi caused the problems with misuse of a tool, she is definitely on the hook for either a breakfast or beverage. BTW, I just finished stamping a shaving kit, and I am sitting here drinking my 3rd cup of coffee, eating a chocolate drizzled rice crispie treat, and bacon. If you want to take Rundi up on that drink before Sheridan, we will be in Denver starting next Friday for a week or s0. Before we go, I am trying to sneak a soft purse in for her with that snowflake pattern on the yoke. I have some water buffalo calf that is nice, and some peanut brittle colored elephant that would work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaverslayer Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Clay, sorry to hear about all the medical problems. All I can think of though, is it was probably better to see a urinologist, rather than a proctologist. As for salt. I quite using it 4 1/2 years ago, and have never missed it, the coffee on the other hand...NEVER EVER going to quit, how else does an old man wake up in the morning.

ClayB Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Hey everyone, thanks for the sympathy, but I am ok. Done with the doctors (hopefully for a long time) Now why doesn't everyone go pick on Rundi for starting this all, or better yet, make her join the forum and defend herself.

CitizenKate Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Awwww... we just pick on people we like. Glad to hear you're done with the docs for awhile. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billsotx Report post Posted October 19, 2007 Good to hear you're ok. I agree, we need Rundi to share her creativity. Maybe she'll just meander by here. Later gang....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted October 23, 2007 The "Rundi Shell" resembles a honeycomb, or maybe snake scales. I really like the quilted snowflake. That would be nice on a portfolio or saddle. I've been looking for Rundi, but I haven't seen her in the validation queue yet. We need folks that think out of the box, rather than EAT out of the box. (Hey, Clay, hope you are feeling better soon!) Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
