An Inch of Geekdom

Back in March, I gave you a preview of the stamp I carved for a trading card swap.  The theme was "An Inch of Geekdom;" it had to be something you geek out on and it could only be an inch square.  Mine, of course, was an inch of the Whedonverse; Buffy and Angel's Claddagh Ring.

We all sent our 30 copies to the ringleader, who sorted them and mailed them back out to us.   

Check out these beauties.  These are all hand-carved images!


Pretty awesome array of Geek!

Row 3: Caffeine Engineer's "Lost," Cat Eyes' "Euro-Boardgames: Settlers of Catan," and Baqash's "Historical Roots."

*the "Jedi Padawan' one goes with Qui Gon - it's a series of two. ;o)
