I planted a several time themed series for my event last year.  (Days of the week, Months of the year...)

The top two are made by Pandagram, the others are mine.

Send out the search dogs!

Yes, I'm still around.  Part of the reason that there have been few new posts is that it's summer and I don't sit at my computer when I can be outdoors.  Another part is the changes to AQ make it look horrible and hard to use on my computer, so I use my tablet whenever I can. If I'm not using my computer then I'm not typing blog posts.  I also can no longer print out a usable checklist to keep track of what cards have been shown so there might be repeats after awhile.
(As of right now, I have written and scheduled posts thru the end of September)



Anyway, here's a new card.
"Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog"

The stamp was a request.   Not exactly what they asked for but I liked this image better.

Planetary Quisps

Name:     Planetary Quisps
Created:  5/2016
Swap:     -

In my latest road trip I wanted to place a series all the way across the country.  I carved planet stamps and placed them along I-90 at the scale of 1AU = 100miles.  Boston, MA is "The Sun" and Neptune is near Spokane, WA!

Dr Who Inchies, and state names

Along with Many regular sized Doctor Who LTC's, I also have a few smaller cards.

 Again, these are Inchies, but I keep the worst cut ones for myself.
"Tardis Ring" and "11 Doctors" are both 1"x2" and are sometimes folded.

New England Sports

Name:     Boston Sports Teams
Created:  4/2016
Swap:     -


I needed a series of small stamps to place before my event.   The trail starts at the Town Recreation Area so I carved sports team logos.     The main card is Boston teams, and two bonus stamps of the Rhode Island minor league affiliates.

Game of Thrones

Name:    A Song of Ice and Fire:
Created:  11/2013
Swap:     Winter Is Coming (Game of Thrones)

I carved several cards for my "Game of Thrones" swap.  I also carved House Frey and Joffrey Coat of Arms, but I lost my cards.  I need to stamp more next time I check on the planted series!

Tully and Lannister both use embossing powder.
The Khal Drogo card had a small bell attached to his beard.  (I removed it to get a good scan)

Philately

Name:     Philately: Purple Heart
Created:  12/2013
Swap:      Philately


I tried something different for a Postage Stamp swap. I only got 4 signups that time, but I have listed a second one and its full.

Rules:
Pick a US 'Forever' postage stamp and buy at least one sheet of them.
Carve that image and create a LTC of the postage stamp.
Send 10 LTC's AND 10 unused Forever stamps of the design you picked.
ALSO send 5 stamps for return postage.

Heeere's Johnny!

Name:     Depp!: Willie Wonka (Closeup)
Created:  2/2013
Swap:     Depp!

The Willie Wonka card was carved for the Depp! swap. It was my first carve on the '12 Pink crap and broke on the first stamping! I glued it together and on many of the cards it's not noticeable, it got worse as the rubber crumbled.

Someone jokingly requested a shirtless Johnny Depp card.  I carved this and mailed it to them as a surprise! This is my only male "Pin-up" card so far.
