BTW, Linda, one thing I really like about your mousepad idea is that it allows you to maintain some flexibility while stamping.  That's a great thing.

These are all great and, Amo, try using chops - I use both the chops themselves and the offcuts the chop-makers sell sometimes.  The other things which work well are Zinga game pieces (they're solid wood but lightweight) and removing the rubber designs off of cheap alphabet stamps made of wood.  Just some of the hundreds of things I've used to mount stamps over the years! ;)

 

Love your system Linda.  :D

 

I stamp images of the stamps I make in these notebooks for artists which are sold at some art stores.  They are made with acid-free archival paper and each page has a lined and an unlined section.  I stamp the images onto the unlined part and then write notes about the stamps (when I made them or revised them, what materials I used if it's not obvious, where I purchased it, what inspired it, etc) in the lined section.  That way I can just leaf through any time I want to see what I've got.

 

The stamps themselves I keep in shallow 'trays' made of either cardboard (the boxes that various papers and labels come in are great) or plastic (shadow box frames where I've removed the board sections are the best as they are clear and very sturdy).  I layer these inside of lateral print files.  I sometimes print a likeness of the stamp on the back of the stamp but not as often as I wish I did. ;)

I glue rubber unmounted rubber stamps on a piece of mouse pad cutted same shape.... (the foam in contact with the rubber) So they are easier to store in numbered cutted shoe boxes...(I have a notebook with picture of the rubber stamp and number of box in which to find it...)

A set of stamps I made back in the early 90's.

Very well said LInda!  I agree.  Yes, Cathérine - highly addictive!  But in a very good way. :D

self expression is very addictive and natural at the same time,  I believe that as night dreams are the elaboration of our daily activities, our art is the same,a real-time reading of ourselves that cannot be renounced...

Wonderful to see your first stamps, Cathérine!  I know that feeling Linda.  lol

I used to grab anything and everything I could put a carving knife or a linoleum cutter or a veiner into!  Just don't cut yourself. ;)
