MIIIA‧Mia

 手邊有幾個小小木頭線軸，就來玩點花樣吧！

為它刻了一個線軸章，沒有很制式的。

我選擇了不去刻意製造依般看到線軸上的字、圖樣。

（本來看了好多線軸的花紋，很是迷人啊！）

而是加上了自己的小插圖，比較Mia一點。

我想這樣，可能比較誘人喔～哈哈哈。

這是一個直徑兩公分的小圓。

 I got some small wooden thread spool on hand,

 so let's make something for fun!

First, I carved a stamp for the thread spool, not a formal one.

I choose not to use a pattern as we usually see for the thread spool.

But I try a pattern that with my illustration added.

I think it will be much more special!

It is a 2cm diameter circle pattern.

小線軸拿來捆甚麼好呢？

捆線嘛～嫌不夠大、而且也麻煩。

看它寬度正好跟紙膠帶差不多，不如，捆紙膠帶吧！

這一捆，不得了！

因為紙膠帶得蓋一段、捆一段，很厚工啊！

而且也不能出差錯，總不能在中間剪斷刪除吧！

所以這中間經過了好幾天，才完成這麼一小捆紙膠帶。

因為蓋好了一段，還要先等墨水完全乾涸，才捆。

只是不知道是使用的這款膠帶品質，還是墨水本身～

即便是乾了，上面的花色還是很容易被沾黏。

這樣紙膠帶容易兩面都有顏色，圖案也就不明顯。

總之這一捆，就先這樣嘗試了！

下回，有機會再來想辦法改進～

So, what going to circle on this thread spool?

Thread? Then it is too small.

I found that the thickness of the thread spool is just fit the width of tissue tape.

So, why don't we circle the tissue tape on it?

It was just a extreme work for circling the tape!

Because I need to stamp on part length of tape and then circle it on the thread spool.

It is not allowed for mistakes because you can not cut the tape.

And before you circle the tape you need to make sure the ink is 100% dry.

However, this little tissue tape really took me a lot of time to complete.

But I am not sure it is because the tape I used or the ink,

the color is easily fade by sticky tape even the ink is dry.

And that makes the pattern blurred on the tissue tape.

However, the fisrt one just finished that way.

Maybe next time I could find a way to solve this problem.

用紅線穿過打了個結，這樣膠帶尾端可以暫時黏在線上面。

以免每次要用很難找到＂頭＂，也不會因此摳得醜醜的。

 A red line was passed through the thread spool

so that the end of tape could stick on it.

Therefore you don't need to find the start of the tape everytime.

嗯！紙膠帶上的花樣，就是貓咪與太陽喔～

把章一上一下，一前一後，不是這麼規則的蓋著。

有時候太陽多一點，有時候貓咪多一點。

The pattern on the tape is my cat and the sun.

I stamped one up one down, one move forward one move backward.

So sometime, the sun shows up  and sometime the cat shows up.

而這個，是貓咪與太陽本來應該要有的樣子。

其實太陽也是會在黑夜中睡覺的喔～哈。

And this is the original looking for this stamp.

Yes, the sun will sleep over the night. :)
