This is the oldest art rubber stamp magazine still publishing (National Stampagraphic went under a few years ago) and it doesn't show it's age. For the latest news on various techniques, conventions, stamps and accessories, this is the place that the majority of rubber stampers (if not all) turn to for advice.

That's because in addition to rubber stamp art, there are profiles of stampers, examples of mixed media (collage, copier) art and catalog reviews of stamp companies, There's a convention list. There's an area where you can post mail art calls as well as an area to request pen pals or find various rubber stamp essentials.

And for the vast majority of rubber stampers, this _is_ an essential magazine. If you're interested in rubber stamp art, this magazine is the best place to start on the inky trail. Buy this subscription and be prepared to forget about dinner when the magazine is delivered - it's that absorbing.

This magazine is a real treasure -- wide-ranging in interests (like collage, greeting cards, mail art, book arts, fabric stamping and how-to projects) and authoritative. Good illustrations and especially well written, too, a real change from other publications for stamp artists.
Reviews of new products, catalogs and books are fair and MOST welcome!
As a newer reader this past year, I've been VERY pleased with the magazine's consistent excellence.

RSM is a magazine that keeps me updated on innovations in the stamping genre. The instructions are easy to follow, and the examples are eye-catching and great to browse.
The reviews of the rubber stamping websites are very informative, as are the reviews of new products and publications. Plus, their website has links to their advertisers, so I can leave my magazine in my reading area, and still browse the links from my computer!

This used to be a wonderful, innovative, different rubberstamping delight. Now it looks like all the others. It's small and not nearly as much fun as it used to be.
