CREATE New Jersey: Carving Stamps for Patterning

The first class I taught at CREATE: New Jersey was "Carving Stamps for Patterning."  It was my first time teaching this class and we had a blast!  It was a truly wonderful group of women with so much talent that I was simply blown away!  I think you will be too!  Take a peek:

It's simply amazing what you can do with some rubber, a carving tool, and some creativity! 

If you're interested in learning more about stamp carving, may I suggest my online class and/or my DVD.

I'll be back tomorow with more CREATE pictures!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • This was a fabulous class! Seeing all the patterns again brought me right back to the feeling I had in class- creative experimentation. So now I need to ignore my responsibilities (bills pay themselves, right?) and go carve more stamps!!

  • Beautiful!! I had planned to make a trip up north with my son to visit family just with the ulterior motive of taking this class. ; ) But it didn’t pan out. We’re taking our trip up north in the fall instead. This makes me want to take your online class even more.

  • Hey!
    I just started carving stamps again (and have so many peeps wanting some; I’ll be busy for awhile!) and love how this post comes a day or two after I pulled my supplies back out. It’s great inspiration and I just may carve one to make a pattern tonight.

  • Amazing! What talented students you have – however I think most of that talent was able to come out because they had a fabulous teacher. Keep up the good work!
