Thanks Mick.  Yes, these are old templates I've used for many years just updated with new collaged "fill ins"  . The Original stamps are from a MAD magazine printed in the 60's.  I forget who made the illustrations. My additions are from old American "Mechanics Illustrated" magazines and suchlike from around the same era. Old advertisements etc. I printed a load of templates fro the archive show we did in Manchester a while back. The idea was for people to add rubber stampings to the blanks and pass around - a sort of collaborative thing. I had a lot left over so decided to collage a few. Cheers!

Michael Wow! I really love all of these stamps. All of the vintage paper is so satisfying to see. There is something about these little bits from the past that are irresistible to me Tell me how you made these. It looks like you used a preprinted template of stamp images and then collaged on it.
