Rubbery Stampings

This postcard one of a few I have been sent by postart_uk on Instagram for their collaborative project. I used the delightful stamps that Adam Roussopoulos sent me recently and added the drips and puddles from little hand carved stamps I made. My rubber stamp carvings have become less nifty as I get older and my eyes are not as sharp and my hand less patient. Many of the ones I made in the 80's and 90's have dried out and don't take the ink as they once did - which is a shame as they are some of best I ever made.

Comment by Michael Leigh on June 2, 2021 at 3:30pm: Yes, William, I'm happy doing minimalist stamps these days - made from left over bits of eraser lying about on my work table!
