This sought-after resource satisfies artists’ yearnings for inspiration and instruction beyond the basic how-to approach of other stamping books. Stamp Art offers expert ideas and techniques from a dozen master rubber stamp artists. The book is divided into three sections: Altered Surface Treatments; Artistic Stamping; and Mixed Media Effects. A special section is also included in which contributing artists create art with a single stamp.

Demos include: faux finishes, marbled backgrounds, stamping memories, monoprinting, artstamps (mimicking real stamps), thermal embossing, stamping with carved stamps, handmade cards, stamp collages, miniature books, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Woderful, imaginative & inspirational artistic projects, November 10, 1999
This review is from: Stamp Art: 15 original rubber stamp projects (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for stampers of all levels. It starts out by describing the basic materials & techniques used in stamping. Then it both demonstrates & explains step-by-step each of 15 techniques by various artists.

Some of my favorite projects include faux postage stamps, stamped booklets, miniature books, stamp carving & reverse stamping. An easy, less messy approach to marbling surfaces was indispensable to me.

The 3 galleries focusing on artistic stamping, altered surfaces, & mixed media effects are of great inspiration. Another gallery section shows a wide variety of techniques made with just one stamp, such as cranes or grapevines.

The glossary, extensive resource list & directory of artists are great bonuses. If you're looking for fresh stamping ideas focusing on non-cute, artistic stamping this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for your stamping library, December 29, 1999
By 
J. L. R. (Riverside, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stamp Art: 15 original rubber stamp projects (Paperback)
This book was a wealth of information on everything we stampers want to know and learn about. There are tons of projects and techniques to keep you busy for a very long time. And in the back there is a helpful section of terms and resources. If you have a limited amount of dollars to spend on books about stamping then I would suggest that this book should be a "must have" for your stamping library. It was worth every penny I paid for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have book for rubber stamp fanatics!!, June 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Stamp Art: 15 original rubber stamp projects (Paperback)
This book is excellent for both beginner and advanced rubber stampers. There are color pictures on every page, great project ideas, and step-by-step instructions using the latest and greatest products. Several excellent Magenta stamp projects (I'd personally like to see a whole book of JUST Magenta stamp projects, but that's me!). I especially liked the sections in the back where they gave a single stamp to 7 or 8 different artists, and let them "create" a project. What fabulous variety! This book is a must have, and leaves you wanting more......
