Seth Apter Stamps!!!

When my friend Seth Apter asked if he could send me a couple of stamps from his new stamp line with Impression Obsession  to try out I of course said YES!!!

They do not disappoint! The thing that I love about Seth’s stamps and stencils are that they can be used ‘in’ work. They don’t have to be the final image but can be incorporated mixed media style right into your journal page or artwork. They add structure, line and shape, building blocks for creating.

Here is a journal spread I did using two of his new stamps, “Net Work’ and “Inter Net”. Love those names too!!

This week it’s Seth Apter’s turn to use my new stamps and boy did he create a cool piece of art with them!

I have to admit I wasn’t surprised that he chose the Column of Dots and Sketched Background stamps but when he used the I Will Soar wings, I was! But look how he made these images his own in this piece. So much a ‘Seth’ piece of art, I just love it!

New Stamp Line Unveiled!

May 15, 2013 By in art at the speed of life Tags: , , , , 9 Comments

Like many of you I usually have multiple projects in the works and it’s always exciting to finally see them near completion and get released into the world! I’m thrilled to introduce you to my newest line of stamps from Stampington & Co!

Some of you may recognize these stamps as they are images that I personally had made into stamps for workshop use several years ago. I also have many teaching friends that use them in their workshops as well and now it’s wonderful to be able to offer them to you for your own use.

Many of the images came directly from my journal and sketchbook pages. It’s fun to look through your journals to find marks that you make over and over, or images and words you use often. What I love about these stamps is that they can be layered into your journal pages. Some are for under-journaling and background texture, while others add doodling or word prompts, and still others can create visual focal imagery.

I was thrilled to have been sent a bunch of Dina Wakley’s super cool stamps from Stampington & C0. My instructions? Play with them!

So I played in a journal that was not finished, a class sample actually for may workshop at Art Unraveled a couple of years ago, “With One Palette” which was based off an article I did for Somerset Studios.

I’m sure many of you can relate to having partially finished pieces leftover from teaching or other art projects. They make a great starting point for journal pages! I keep a basket under my work table to keep all these potential works of art in.

I also keep the negative cutaways from other projects as they make a great and powerful statement on a journal page! I hope you’ll check out more images from this little journal and a little tutorial in this weeks issue of Post Script

If you don’t receive Stampington’s Post Script I hope you’ll sign up, there are always lots of cool projects, products and inspiration as well as up to date information on upcoming publications.
