Stamp Francisco
I found this ad in an issue of Rubberstampmadness from 1993. Check out the giant Ray Johnson bunny head in the background.

Test Notebook
I keep a notebook next to me while collaging or stamping. I stick miscellaneous scraps on it and test colors and rubber stamps, It also is a good way for me to test certain design ideas before I put them on a postcard.

Estate Sale Stamps
John went to an estate sale this morning and found me a small box of rubber stamps and art supplies. It is very rare when cool, vintage stamps show up at sales around here so I was very happy with these designs. I have one of them (the spiral), but not the others. Companies are Graphistamps, Stamp Francisco, Leavenworth Jackson and Top Drawer. Very surprised to find that one in there! I also collect ink pads and although I have an Inkadinkado already, it is a different color.

Kid’s Stamps
These are cheap, kid’s rubber stamps from the 1960s/70s. They came in a blister pack and probably sold at dime stores. I didn’t think they would stamp because they are rock hard, but with a juicy ink pad and some hard pressing, they made a good impression. Perhaps I will use them for borders or decorating envelopes although I don’t see using them too often. I did manage to make one postcard with one of the images.
