Here are a few alternative for mounting rubber stamps.

The rubber mallet has a rubber mallet stamp on one side and a head of cabbage on the other. It is a fun stamp to use.

There is a champagne cork.
The happy face is on a glass decanter topper.
The pieces of wood are both just straight as well as carefully cut out ones using a jigsaw. I have lots of these.

The shopping cart, screw and 2 ladies facing each other on on clear plastic. It makes it easy to see through for positioning of the images. They are part of a collection given to me by E. Z. Smith

The black oval is a car part from a 1960's Mustang. It is a rubber plug used to cover the openings under the car to get access to the bolts holding down the seats.

I did one for Ryosuke Cohen one year and it was fun.

I was thinking of carving something for you as a thank you for all you've done for us in IUOMA, here and elsewhere, over the years. ;)

@carla : what was that secret motive? Still secret? Or just send it by e-mail.

True, very true. But, being one who carves, I had a bit of a secret motive in asking! ;)

@Carla : When you have an image you like nowadays you can just digitize it and order a rubber stamp out of it. So actually all you want is possible nowadays. But you need the digital skills, access to the digital store, and lots of money because these stamps are quite expensive. That last one is surely a problem for just ordering anything you wish.

 

There is also the overload of rubberstamps. I have so many. I do know that some very talented artists have the combination of being creative and skilled to make their own handcarved stamps that are so real. Now that is something to admire.

Ruud, Is there any image you have always wished you had on a stamp but have never seen yet?  Just curious!
