Miracle of miracles, I have actually managed to keep up with #CarveDecember! It's a miracle!
In all seriousness, I have managed to keep up with #CarveDecember because:
- I set a time limit for myself: no more than 30 minutes to design, carve, and print each stamp.
- I have kept the stamps small and simple. Most of them are one inch or less and the designs and prints are rough.
- Doing something artistic every day makes me feel like myself rather than a sleep deprived breast feeding zombie. Because it makes me feel good to make art, I make the effort to climb the stairs up to the studio every day.
Here are the stamps and prints from days 1-9:
It only takes a few minutes every day to make art! Thanks for stopping by!
they are gorgeous, Momma!

These are lovely! I’m so glad you’re doing this for yourself because most of the time, women with newborns don’t take any time for themselves and this is when the stress and anxiety completely take over. Can’t wait to see your next creations!

I like the symmetry of these designs. They are symmetric both when rotated and when reflected. These give me some great ideas for itajime forms.
I have followed you over the years since I discovered you stamp making book several years ago. I am very happy for you in your marriage and now motherhood. Vaya con Dios.
