It's funny how that kind of thing works - one gets a fixed idea about something, and it's hard to get  your head free of it.  I've always been experimental but sometimes even I get trapped in that scenario!  We humans, eh?  ;)

I once sent some unmounted stamps to a friend and they had no clue on how to use them. They went to a craft store and purchased new rubber stamps just for the handles. They removed the store bought images and then glued the unmounted one on. Later when they were visiting me and saw my collection of rubber stamps they were surprised by the wide range of 'handles' I have. They thought that rubber stamps had to have a certain type of handle.

Love seeing these OB!  I have also used a lot of unexpected mountings.  You make me want to document them also! ;)  Love the mallet mounting!  Not only fun to use but cathartic I would imagine! ;)

Here are a few alternative for mounting rubber stamps.

The rubber mallet has a rubber mallet stamp on one side and a head of cabbage on the other. It is a fun stamp to use.

There is a champagne cork.
The happy face is on a glass decanter topper.
The pieces of wood are both just straight as well as carefully cut out ones using a jigsaw. I have lots of these.

The shopping cart, screw and 2 ladies facing each other on on clear plastic. It makes it easy to see through for positioning of the images. They are part of a collection given to me by E. Z. Smith

The black oval is a car part from a 1960's Mustang. It is a rubber plug used to cover the openings under the car to get access to the bolts holding down the seats.

I did one for Ryosuke Cohen one year and it was fun.

I was thinking of carving something for you as a thank you for all you've done for us in IUOMA, here and elsewhere, over the years. ;)

@carla : what was that secret motive? Still secret? Or just send it by e-mail.

True, very true. But, being one who carves, I had a bit of a secret motive in asking! ;)
