Summary

This beautiful book provides a complete guide to printing with rubber stamps。 Beginning with a foreword by the artist Rob Ryan and a short history of rubber stamping, it then explains the technical basics: how to cut your stamp, mask prints, make your own printing pads, clean your stamps (making more artwork as you do so!) and what equipment to use。

At the heart of the book are forty inventive projects that will inspire readers to create their own rubber stamp art。 These include making typefaces and repeat patterns, mail art, creating stickers and labels, printing on t-shirts, making portraits, and translucent and 3D prints。 Also covered are other printing approaches such as roller printing, and printing with clay and plaster。

This highly accessible book will appeal to creatives and crafters of all ages。

The text and instructions are a bit lacking。 But, I love the illustrations, it's the reason why I bought the book The text and instructions are a bit lacking。 But, I love the illustrations, it's the reason why I bought the book 。。。more

Admittedly I skimmed the techniques portion of this, but I didn't find it too helpful。 The examples focused a lot on layering and repeating techniques, which is visually interesting but not really what I want to do, particularly。 They were more art exhibit than craft。 Interesting, but not useful to me。 Admittedly I skimmed the techniques portion of this, but I didn't find it too helpful。 The examples focused a lot on layering and repeating techniques, which is visually interesting but not really what I want to do, particularly。 They were more art exhibit than craft。 Interesting, but not useful to me。 。。。more

Lunchtime read at the library, this book on rubber stamping takes that creative act out of the world of scrap booking and turns it into fine art。 Terrific visuals, inspiring, instructional, unloading techniques and ideas on how to make your own art projects connected to the world of rubber stamping。 At times, the images in the book resemble screen printing and the two have a similar visual aesthetic when rubber stamps are used in repeat or in shapes as they fill up a page。 Pretty cool art book-- Lunchtime read at the library, this book on rubber stamping takes that creative act out of the world of scrap booking and turns it into fine art。 Terrific visuals, inspiring, instructional, unloading techniques and ideas on how to make your own art projects connected to the world of rubber stamping。 At times, the images in the book resemble screen printing and the two have a similar visual aesthetic when rubber stamps are used in repeat or in shapes as they fill up a page。 Pretty cool art book--yeah, I said a book about rubber stamping is cool。 Deal with it。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this book。 I haven't been so inspired about making and using rubber stamps since I got the Miller & Thompson book The Rubber Stamp Album - which I'm probably going to re-read now that I'm on a rubber stamp kick。 The Fowler book is gorgeous to look at。 Everything is illustrated with rubber stamp images and it's refreshing to see something like this that is clearly on the art end of things and not on the more commercial or cutesy end of things。 In a few cases I wish there was a I absolutely loved this book。 I haven't been so inspired about making and using rubber stamps since I got the Miller & Thompson book The Rubber Stamp Album - which I'm probably going to re-read now that I'm on a rubber stamp kick。 The Fowler book is gorgeous to look at。 Everything is illustrated with rubber stamp images and it's refreshing to see something like this that is clearly on the art end of things and not on the more commercial or cutesy end of things。 In a few cases I wish there was a bit more detail on some of the supplies needed(like different types of ink pads - a lot of the ink pads I have don't say what kind of pad they are)。 I found it strange that he said not to use erasers for carving that have some sort of embossed writing on them。 I've found that this sometimes gives an added texture to the stamps。 These are of course minor quibbles。 I was really happy to see Brion Gysin mentioned in relation to altering brayers to become stamping rollers。 It often seems Brion is ignored by the art establishment in general - so it was nice to see him referenced here。 I'd seen footage of him using rollers on some of his painting before, but hadn't really realized what they were until now。 。。。more
