Rubber Stamps

I just discovered* a weblog of the Dutch illustrator Gertie Jaquet.

Last year she had a project 'a stamp a day' and she carved a huge amount of rubber stamps! Even now she continues to carve stamps, and I think many of them very beautiful or at least very nice. See this weblog 'A stamp a day'.

For the ones who happen to be close to Amsterdam soon, she has an exhibition in the Amsterdam public library (children's books department, OBA, see for the address here).

* Thanks to Lidia, who drew my attention by her own blog to Gertie Jaquet's stamps (and who also carves nice rubber stamps herself).

p.s. I wonder if Ruud already has stamp prints of both of them in the TAM rubberstamp archive? As far as I can see, Gertie didn't discover mail art, yet??

And I'll pass one of your collage stamp sheets on to Lidia!

HAHAHA! That's so right! It's the famous sasquatch silhouette turned into a ninja. :D

Oh Boy, that's a fantastic idea. I did like the way it looked in the photo. I just have to get more carving blocks and figure out where I want to order from.

Ana - stamp this carving on to another piece of carving material. Then carve the new one. It will be a reverse image and you can stamp the cats facing each other or back to back.

thanks Thom, Vizma: i think i'll skip the writing. I'm addicted to carving again (or rubberstamps in general since i bought a bunch online last night too) ! I made another tonight based on that little image on my icon. I'll post it tomorrow.

What were you thinking of writing, Ana? Mail Cat? ;-) I wouldn't add writing but continue with the striped patterns. It's a beautiful carving!!

Jumpin' felines, Ana!  I can't believe you just whipped that stamp out!!  That's a REALLY wonderful, stupendous job!!
