I have been collecting vintage stamps for the past three years. When I go home to visit my family in Ohio I also try to stop in at my favorite paper stationary store that sells a large variety of rubber stamps with a huge selection of graphics and images. All the stamps I have used above were sourced in Ohio. But now, in California, I look for rubber stamps to use in my art all over the thrift stores I currently visit. I like to use stamping as a image creation tool.
What possessed me to purchase the stamps above were the images radiating from them. I love collecting and repurposing graphics that speak to me visually. The two dolphins kissing and making a heart is so good to me I wish I was the one who created it originally! I recently had the idea to use my stamp collection in my ceramic investigations. I bought an underglaze ink stamp pad that I decided to use on my bisque wear. Now I can play with different composition of stamps to adorn my ceramic pieces. It is a new image making process I am investigating in the studio.
