From the Book:

“An ideal weekend craft, stamping is one of the simplest, quickest and most versatile decorative techniques.

This book shows the wide range of exciting effects which can be achieved with even the most basic range of materials and limited amount of time.

The author uses both widely available, ready-made stamps as well as showing how to make original and unusual patterns.

With step-by step techniques illustrated in full colour, this book will appeal to adults and children alike.”

Review:

“Despite the plethora of available rubber stamps, there's nothing quite like being able to make your own in exactly the design you want. The emphasis here is on doing just that--out of rubber erasers, cork, fruits and vegetables, linoleum, polystyrene, sponges, wood, even crumpled paper--resulting in stamps that are not only unique but generally cost much less than the ready-made kind. Then use your one-of-a-kind creations to adorn vases, chairs, walls, pillows, containers, coasters, desk accessories, lampshades, and candles. The projects are easy and folk-art charming. --Amy Handy”
