Sorry about the earworm. Okay, not really.
I used to fuss and measure and measure and fuss over tombstones. These days, I just draw half of it, cut it out carefully, and use the cutout to make the other half. Easy-peasy. Just had to even up the sides a bit.
I am wobbly with a wire knife. I tried the mini wire knife table I have, but didn’t do much better. Is okay, looks good after sanding.
ALWAYS USE A RESPIRATOR WHEN SANDING. For pretty much anything.
Because there’s a gouge through the other side, I thought I’d use the printed side for the front. A little white paint will lessen the confustion from the printing…maybe. Now I’m thinking I may use that gouge as a crack.
After this, I went to print a lettering stencil on my Cameo, and discovered I didn’t pack the cables with the machine. Very weird for me, but oh well. No idea where they are, so I’m overnighting replacements. They’ll probably get here late, so tomorrow I’ll occupy myself with cutting the rest of the stones, and maybe getting foam for a small mausoleum.
