In every one of our Cutting Edge Die Sets, each die comes with its matching cut-out. The die is the framed 'negative space' shape, and the cut-out is the actual shape that used to be part of the die before it was cut out.
The dies were designed for silhouette dieforming – pushing flat sheets of polymer clay through an opening to make 3D forms with a specific silhouette – as explained in our book, Relief Beyond Belief. Since we released that book almost two years ago, the dies have become the more famous half of these two-part tools. But cut-outs on their own were in my studio long before I made dies or developed dieforming for polymer clay. They've always been an indispensable tool when cutting shapes out of flat veneers, blends, textures, mokume, whatever...
It's possible to cut out shapes using the opening within a single template or in a template sheet (like those green plastic geometric templates sold in art supply stores that many of us own). The opening is like a window and you can easily and exactly frame the area you want. But when you cut within a window, you're cutting on the inside edge of the template, which is awkward, and you have to be careful not to slip. If you do, the only way for your blade to go is in, and then you mar the good clay you've carefully prepared and chosen to feature within your shape. That's why I use cut-outs, to cut outside the edge of a shape instead of within it: the cut-out protects the swatch as I cut; I can see the cut line easier; I don't have to get into small spaces and tight corners; and if I do slip, I'm only cutting the part of the veneer that I wasn't going to use anyway. It's a trick I picked up in art school years ago (back when cutting and pasting actually involved X-ACTO knives and glue). It's carried over into my work in polymer clay and fits so perfectly for this application.
For well-placed patterns and perfect shapes every time, I use both the die and its matching cut-out. First, I use the die window to find and define the area of pattern I want to use. Once it's in place on my veneer, I drop in the cut-out and swap out the die, masking the area I know I want, and revealing the rest to be trimmed away with my X-ACTO knife and #11 blade. Once trimmed, I remove the cut-out, and reveal my cut-out shape, exactly as I expected.
When we designed our Die Sets, we did so with dieforming in mind. But we also knew the matching cut-outs were an important 'other half' to these tools. For dieforming, I use dies. But if I want to cut out a shape, I use a cut-out.
Borrowing step-outs from our book, and following the numbered sequence in the diptic here, here are the basic steps for cutting shapes with cut-outs...
1. frame your veneer within the window of your die and set it in place
2. grab the matching cut-out
3. place the cut-out into the die window
4. gently hold the cut-out in place and lift the die off the veneer
5. your cut-out is now in postion and your veneer is ready to trim into a shape
BTW, the only time you wouldn't want to use a cut-out is if you wanted to create a 'negative space' shape within a larger veneer. In other words, if you want to cut out a window, you use the window to cut it out (after you've used the cut-out to place your window where you want it..). But hey, that's a lesson for another day.
If you're interested, you can see the complete collection of Geometric, Organic, Polygon, and Long Trio Die Sets (each with dies and their matching cut-outs) in The Cutting Edge Store.
The word "goose" is a direct descendent of Proto-Indo-European root, *ghans-. In Germanic languages, the root gave Old English gōs with the plural gēs and gandres (becoming Modern English goose, geese, gander, and gosling, respectively), Frisian goes, gies and guoske, New High German Gans, Gänse, and Ganter, and Old Norse gās.
This term also gave Lithuanian žąsìs, Irish gé (goose, from Old Irish géiss), Latin anser, Greek χήν/khēn, Dutch gans, Albanian gatë (heron), Sanskrit hamsa and hamsi, Finnish hanhi, Avestan zāō, Polish gęś, Ukrainian гуска and гусак, Russian гусыня and гусь, Czech husa, and Persian ghāz.
The term goose applies to the female in particular, while gander applies to the male in particular. Young birds before fledging are called goslings. The collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; when in flight, they are called a skein, a team, or a wedge; when flying close together, they are called a plump.
Chinese geese, the domesticated form of the swan goose
The three living genera of true geese are: Anser, grey geese, including the greylag goose, and domestic geese; Chen, white geese (often included in Anser); and Branta, black geese, such as the Canada goose.
Two genera of "geese" are only tentatively placed in the Anserinae; they may belong to the shelducks or form a subfamily on their own: Cereopsis, the Cape Barren goose, and Cnemiornis, the prehistoric New Zealand goose. Either these or, more probably, the goose-like Coscoroba swan is the closest living relative of the true geese.
Fossils of true geese are hard to assign to genus; all that can be said is that their fossil record, particularly in North America, is dense and comprehensively documents many different species of true geese that have been around since about 10 million years ago in the Miocene. The aptly named Anser atavus (meaning "progenitor goose") from some 12 million years ago had even more plesiomorphies in common with swans. In addition, some goose-like birds are known from subfossil remains found on the Hawaiian Islands.
Geese are monogamous, living in permanent pairs throughout the year; however, unlike most other permanently monogamous animals, they are territorial only during the short nesting season. Paired geese are more dominant and feed more, two factors that result in more young.
Other birds called "geese"
Cape Barren goose
Some mainly Southern Hemisphere birds are called "geese", most of which belong to the shelduck subfamily Tadorninae. These are:
Orinoco goose, Neochen jubata
Egyptian goose, Alopochen aegyptiacus
The South American sheldgeese, genus Chloephaga
The prehistoric Malagasy sheldgoose, Centrornis majori
The spur-winged goose, Plectropterus gambensis, is most closely related to the shelducks, but distinct enough to warrant its own subfamily, the Plectropterinae.
The blue-winged goose, Cyanochen cyanopterus, and the Cape Barren goose, Cereopsis novaehollandiae, have disputed affinities. They belong to separate ancient lineages that may ally either to the Tadorninae, Anserinae, or closer to the dabbling ducks (Anatinae).
The three species of small waterfowl in the genus Nettapus are named "pygmy geese". They seem to represent another ancient lineage, with possible affinities to the Cape Barren goose or the spur-winged goose.
A genus of prehistorically extinct seaducks, Chendytes, is sometimes called "diving-geese" due to their large size.[5]
The unusual magpie goose is in a family of its own, the Anseranatidae.
The northern gannet, a seabird, is also known as the "Solan goose", although it is a bird unrelated to the true geese, or any other Anseriformes for that matter.
Well-known sayings about geese include:
To "have a gander" is to examine something in detail.
"What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" means that what is appropriate treatment for one person is equally appropriate for someone else.
Saying that someone's "goose is cooked" means that they have suffered, or are about to suffer, a terrible setback or misfortune.
"Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs," derived from an old fable, is a saying referring to any greed-motivated, unprofitable action that destroys or otherwise renders a favorable situation useless.
"A wild goose chase" is a useless, futile waste of time and effort.
There is a legendary old woman called Mother Goose who wrote nursery rhymes for children.
I haven't been out on a night shoot since Sept 2007... geez - I need to get my head in the cold evening sky. Here's an oldie from the end of 2006. January 08's moon is nearly full.... let's get out there!

It's been a rough week with Africa, the Middle East, Canada, New York City, Kathmandu and other places in the breaking news.
A tour bus crammed with 60 or more passengers overturned in Nepal. As I write, the casualty count is 12 deaths, many injured and some missing. Several young Israeli trekkers were on the bus as well. The probable cause of the accident was overloading.
As we head into the weekend, it seems like a good idea to pause, reflect and center ourselves. The view in the image is from one of the small communities in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem. And, there was a moderate boost in contrast and saturation here.
Happy Fence Friday!

One of the most interesting subjects in Street Photography as far as I am concerned is capturing people that are "Out of place" just like this old lady here. I saw her looking around at all the crazy young people enjoying themselves with a puzzled look on her face and I just had to snap her! It is slightly out of focus because I had it on MF, but still came out ok I guess. Snap!
If you want to see how I took the photo, you can view the relevant clip on the official Street Hunters YouTube Channel at youtu.be/OXsDLXCcTFM?t=9m3s. Also, if you haven’t seen my previous Street Hunts, please visit the relevant Playlist at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed28QCd4QRw&list=PLKhqhm3_KUy.... Thank you.
