Hey! How are y'all? Hmmm, I don't have much else to say, so...
Yesterday I gave myself a headache and hurt the crap out of my eyeballs for 4 hours to carve a hanko! Also, my fingers hurt.
Here's a picture:
In Japan they don't sign their names (at, for example, the bank), they stamp their hanko. This one I've made is more for signing art, or something, cause it's too big to fit in the spot they give on official forms for one's hanko. What you're seeing there is just about an inch square. I have a small hanko for official stuff that just says "Webb". Dull.
This one I've made is old (classical chinese?) characters that sound out "ei-mi" (like "amy", get it?). The "ei" means clear, like sparkling or crystal and the "mi" means beauty. Ahhh. Isn't that nice. I could have also been "smart - human body" or "shadow - charm" or "poetry writing - sheep", but chose these particular characters for my name. Cool!
