Lilies of the Valley

New Stamp

New envelopes for my shop
New stamp I carved to decorate my shop envelopes. I love how the black ink looks on the kraft stay-flats. Hope my lovely customers like them :)
If you are interested in carving your own stamps, I wrote a book about it:
"Making An Impression" published by Lark Books.

This is the archaeological site of Calixtlahuaca. We had the whole area to ourselves yesterday morning, we only encountered three local women gathering wild capulin cherries and tejocotes. It was amazing to walk the trails from temple to temple teaming with colorful wild flowers, agaves and maize fields.
