I’m super excited to play with my friend Whitney tomorrow… as a visual/doodle artist, she’s just started with polymer clay by carving her own stamps.

Meanwhile, I’d love to create my own stamps for my clay – I’m currently using another lady’s zentangle stamps, which I love but they’re not MINE, you know? – but getting MY doodles professionally made is prohibitively expensive!

So Whitney’s gonna show me how to carve…

…and I’m going to let her play with my clay tools and toys – including a brand new set of patinas…
