Stamp or forensics item?

[Svenja Wahl]

I just made a stamp which can easily be mistaken as a mysterious blunt item in forensics?  In fact it is two stamps in one - or one for a very huge letter ;-))

Emphatically "SEY!!" ... I mean, "YES!!"  Sending something very soon...

[Svenja Wahl]

But at least we should swop some liam stra? ;-)

[Thom Courcelle]

LOL!!! Perhaps yes... But I am afraid all the dislexic members would never be able to type in the correct web address to get to the site!!

[Svenja Wahl]

Should we change to the IUOLT?

[Thom Courcelle]

Awesome!  HOORAY for LIAM TRAISTS!!!!

[Svenja Wahl]

Thom, sorry, I wrote your name wrong!

[Svenja Wahl]

Tom, you are right, I' m a liam traist! I saw your reverse stamp ;-))  and knew before I made mine that it would be reverse, I thought the resulting imprint would be in the middle between readable and abstract. (I'll blog pictures soon).   

 

I saw a picture in a bookshop yesterday of some buttons glued to wood and used as a stamp, and then I thought, wow, I don't need to buy stamps, I have already lots of stamps at home, just about anything I can glue together and use it to make abstract patterns. Glad that you like it to!

Wow Svenja, this was a super cool idea. I never thought about creating a design stamp like you have done with the rubber band end.  And you could obviously adjust and move the rubber bands around any time to create a new design pattern!  That's pretty brilliant!!!!  -- I do wonder about the word-end of the stamp... it looks like another case of "Liam Tra" making an appearance...  Is this photo a reverse image photo?  Or will the letters make the words appear backwards?  You might have seen that I made that mistake recently... but maybe yours is right? Honestly I have lost all confidence in my abilities to figure-out spacial relationships and mirror-images. (A sign of age??)

I would also be extremely intimidated if someone crossed my path in an alleyway with that thing(!)  And yet, if you thwacked a mugger on the forehead with it, the resulting imprint might make a great advertisement for IUOMA!! 

Would you consider posting some stamped image samples for us using this dual-purpose stamp?

[Svenja Wahl]

I didn't know this group, I'll check it out! Thanks! ;-)

[Svenja Wahl]

No, I wanted to stamp the "mail art" sign and a the other side is just a pattern of stripes to stamp. But when I saw it I suddenly had the impression it looks like a weapon, doesn't it? But do you think it would arrive somewhere when I would send it?
