Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Subtitled A Petroglyph Stamp Kit for All Ages, this charming package features 24 rubber stamps (plus a brown ink pad and a set of six blank note cards and envelopes) featuring Native American petroglyph designs, accompanied by a booklet that traces the history, archaeology, central motifs, and meanings of rock art. The booklet also includes a number of creative ideas for projects utilizing the stamps. The enclosed ink pad produces a somewhat pale result, but any stamping ink or markers can be used with lovely results. In addition to more traditional approaches, there are instructions for unusual applications, such as a necklace made of salt dough (recipe included) wherein the stamps are used to impress a design, rather than for simply stamping color on the surface. Though aimed primarily at children, adult stampers should enjoy Native American Rock Art, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, interactive, and informative, September 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Native American Rock Art (Hardcover)
My elementary aged children loved reading and learning with me about Native American rock art. Dupre's book and petroglyph stamp art captivated them. We felt transported to another world and time. I often use the stamps to decorate letters and envelopes -- so easy to color in, even for a non-arts & crafts person like me. For those more enterprising, there are several fun (& easy) project ideas. Native American Rock Art is lots of fun and makes a great gift.
