stamp carving at my place

Last night I invited a few craftily-inclined friends over for an informal rubber stamp carving class so that I would be prepared for the real stamp carving class I'm running later. I'm so glad I did that because not only was it a fun time with nice ladies but it also helped me to see how other people learn. I think I will have more tips to share when my class rolls around now. So thank you Mary, Sarah and Laurie for being my guinea pigs (and for bringing me mufins, fresh bread and homemade pickles)!
