What have I been up to? I've been filing and sanding and polishing a teaspoon.
This is not because I'm awfully anally particular about the implements I use to stir my coffee. It's because a stainless steel teaspoon, all nicely rounded off and polished, is a very useful tool for hand-printing relief prints.
The bowl of the spoon is used for rubbing down larger areas, and the rounded end of the handle is useful for picking out detail areas.
I've slightly re-curved the handle to make it more useful in this respect, and I've also engraved my name on to it so that no bugger can accidentally claim it as theirs.
