The prompt for day #7 was "organic."  This was my interpretation:

This has been such a deeply fascinating experience thus far.  I know I said this last week, but the prompts have made this #CarveDecember more exciting, more interesting, and more challenging to me.  I'm really loving the work of boiling each prompt down to something that works for me — because it's not just about carving a stamp that fits the prompt.  It's about carving a stamp that fits the prompt AND fits my personal style of stamping.

Listen, #CarveDecember is all about getting people to try stamp carving.  It's really not that hard.  I've been so pleased to see lots of first timers giving it a go.  Even if you carve just one stamp this year, that would be amazing!

Thanks for stopping by!
