Carving & Print Making By Zipolita

First I was just carving little stamps to make Peace Flags for my #PeacePrayerFlagProject and then it turned it to actual Print Making. I am so grateful to Aaron Nelson Moody for being such a wonderful instructor and mentor in teaching me to carve but in the many other lessons I have learned this year in the Reconciliation Carving Cohort that I attended at Langara.

I had no carving experience when I started and I am very happy with what I have achieve and hopeful for the future.
