    I've been using this type of rubber (Adigraf) for 25 years and it's very good to carve...
    See you soon.

    The little tools I use for carving my r-stamps. I bought them in the 70s and they are still good after a very long time.

    I started making/carving my first rubber-stamp in 1983 as they were too expensive to buy.. I was already experienced in doing lino-cuts as I worked many years carving large surfaces...

    Same here Lancillotto. Making them was cheaper than buying them. That started me carving too.

    Some people asked me how I became so skillful in making carving and I replied what I wrote some minutes ago (below). Regarding Recycling art I had a big pile of old "Flash Art" to put in the garbage box. But i changed my mind and I started cutting some picture from the reviews and making collage with this pieces of paper...

    Do you also want carved stamps or not? I've never known for sure. I'm guessing not...? But, also, there are some designs I made which a rubber stamp company produced - do they count?

    Actually all things that print are sent in to the archive. All sheets that are returned are archived, so there is no problem. The term "rubber" could actually be any material that prints.... Ruud
