hi Patricia, thanks for asking but i don't think i am ready to teach. there are many better crafters out there whom i believe will make better teachers. however i'd could share with you that carving stamps out of erasers are actually not very hard and just takes practice. there are books you could buy that teach you. you also need a pair of good eyes, a good knife and some great ideas. and most of all, patience. start with simpler designs and move along to more complicated ones as you become more confident. the trick is make sure when you cut, do so in a slant manner away from the outlines so the stamp is stronger. just like a mountain, the base is always bigger than the tip, ya? you should experiment with different types of erasers to see which you feel more comfortable. as for where to look for designs, it's really up to you. the fun of it is to keep experimenting. the more you do it the more skillful you become. Really.
