Rubber Stamps

Awesome! Thanks for the pics and link Tomoe! :)

Susanna, I've always loved your work - it's nice to see the demo as well!

Joel Cohen Sticker Dude Sez...

I'm getting ready to make the IOUMA Rubber Stamp again...so far I've gotten about 6 requests. I'm pretty sure that I'm only going to do one run of them, so when they're out that's it. I think that everyone, so far, wants the fully finished mounted ones with wooden handle ($8, postpaid anywhere in the... Mailart Universe). Anyway, if it's not too much trouble put out another announcement again in your blogs and lists, etc., and beseech them to act soon.
Nice Buzz Blurr portrait here on your Facebook page!

Still want one IUOMA rubberstamp: please sent an e-mail directly to Joel to let him know: inbox@raggededgepress.com

Ruud, Thanks for the snail mail! Also, what does the rubber stamp for IUOMA look like? Is there a link to an image which I could add to my blog?

My www.ginnylloyd.blogspot.com has had a major update. Some interesting press articles about rubberstamps and mail art were added.

One of these artistamps is the Logo thatbthe Stickerdude will be making.

And it arrived in today's mail1
I am in rubber-stamp heaven :-)
Thank you, Sticker Dude.

Glad to be. Leg is in cast for two more weeks, then I can get postage etc.
Making lots of art for our globe.

I went to Japanese stationary store lately. There are more cute rubber stamps, ink, handmade paper design stuff that I can use for mail art, and collage, etc. I bought some stamps there, and I will take these photos and post here later...

> during our activities within mail-art from the mid eighties on / we have gathered hundreds of rubberstamps and handcarved many more / here a small collection of prints / rubberstamps produced for various projects or just as artpiece /

Good rubberstamp! Don't see any of mine there!

Gift from Hans Ruedi Fricker back in 1985. He started the action " Damned to be a Tourist" and made this special variation for the TAM Rubberstamp Archive with title " Tamned to be a Tourist". It has been in the archive since 1985. Because all donated rubber is used as well, it stays in good condition as you can see.

Nice one!

Hello Dawn, no any rubberstamp from you there. That is because these are stamps only we have made.

A newly carved rubber stamp in my small collection. I think I'll be using it quite a lot.
A tanuki is a japanese raccoon, I thought it would be a nice symbol for my mail.

Marie, totemo kawaii ne~.

Your stamp carvings are fantastic. It's something I haven't tried yet, but you're sure prompting me to give it a go.

SO CUTE!!

International Cat Day?

That's sooo cute!

meow...Snooky, I like your kitty rubber stamp!
This is just a little eraser stamp of pitter-patter cat paws
for International Cat Day!

Here there are what I was just making and submitted to my online school and I will also send to Ryosuke Cohen.

It is kind of illustration like, but I got the motif from the Japanese shrine fox.

Finally made my own mail-art stamp...and hoping to spread him to all of you very soon! :)

ooooh! very cool color dynamic! Did you hand paint the rubber to get the two tones?

Enjoying all the stamps submitted recently - lovely work!

Thank you. Snooky & Angie,
Here is Ryosuke site. Please see the bottom of his site. It has got the instruction about his project. Somebody else is writing about his project in IUOMA. Other explained to me too.

Small view of rubber from the TAM Rubberstamp Archive originals....

Cool stuff Tomoe! Loved seeing the original shrine you took the idea of the fox from, also. I thought kitsune was fox so is ainari another way to say fox or something else entirely? Just curious... I am just sounding out the hiragana as best I can. ;)

Kathy - your gato mail art stamp is awesome!

Love seeing drawers full of stamps, Ruud. :D

two carvings I made years ago.

gift from Ashley-Parker Owens (SF - USA) when she stopped with doing mail-art end of the 90-ies.

do linocut stamps count?

I hate carving rubber...

Great skull!  I should say linocuts count, are they easier to carve little details?  That's what I'm having problems with using that pink speedball rubber.

i cut this using a scroll saw & a dental pick...

 

Although any coping saw or even x-acto knife would work - I just like to get it done quick...

 

and you can't beat the price of the material!!
