I type up my name, e-mail and snail-mail addys, then add the rest of the credits (stamps or ep if it's out of the ordinary). I then print it up and cut them out. I attach them with a piece of removable tape. That way they're stuck to the card but the recipient can take it off easily. The only problem I have is that most of my stamps are unmounted and I use HALOS or just double sticky tape so the manufacturer's name is no where to be found and I often forget where I bought the stamp, especially with clip-art images that more than one company carries. => Shauna ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Delusions of grandeur make me feel a lot better about myself. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------ From: rubberjunkie@juno.com (Tracy Rivera) Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 09:37:31 PST Subject: Re: Going Regimental That would be great to work at a Renaissance festival!

As always, share my info with whoever you like, please just leave my name & signature on the note. With Artistamps there are (at least) two camps, one sets rules that it must have certain things to be considered an artistamp, the other says rules don't belong in art and if they say it's an artistamp, it is. Both camps have really well known folks in artistamp circles (so if you read one article that professes one side, know there's another one out there from the other "camp"). Some simple tricks and techniques. from arto posto: take a sheet of postal stamps and a sheet of black paper to a copy machine. Put the back (white side) of stamps down with the black piece on top. The copy machine will make a "template" for you - a sheet with lil black dots representing the post office's perforations. Put your image inside the lil rectangles, cut the dots just down the middle and voila. Even easier - - enlarge to 200%, then do your image, then reduce 50% and you'll be back to po size. Many of the artistamps were black and white or produced black and white with oil pastels or some color swiped over certain areas for quick easy coloring (as in John Held Jr's Annotated Bibliography Commemerative Stamps). Perforations - for single the fiskar's po scizzors work fine. For sheets: Steve Smith recommends getting a size 18 Veterinary needle and rigging this needle to your sewing machine - gives great perfs (set stitch length so the holes are produced one after the other). You can skip the vet needle and be less perfect using the largest size sewing needle you can get or a tracing wheel. Imagery: folks used carvings, some completely computer generate imagery - shapes and colors, some artwork of various media reduced, some photo's, rubber stamps. Whatever you think of. Reproduction: color copiers predominate, then computer printers then offset printing (one person). For color copiers - pencil coloring, pastel coloring can be very tricky. I had (and didn't show) a beautiful sunsety pink, peach orange yellow combo copy as bright yellow - kinda garish. Bright primaries color copy fine - - the others can be done but you gotta play with it and try to always use the same copier (type/model) as each one will vary. I tried pencil coloring in the four primaries only, but pencil coloring and a color copy aren't the best matches. Beautiful stuff can be done on the computer. Ex fast posto has an eggplant image she had the computer render in purple on a blue background with the lettering in purple - I love it. Remember - it's not life or death, have fun. Whichever rules you follow or ignore - you won't be alone! maggie at Aglaia Handcrafts & Rubber Stamps ------------------------------ From: Shauna Poong Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 11:36:53 -0800 Subject: Re: Fabric Swap BLarsen523@aol.com wrote: > I should have never signed up for any kind of swap, before I learned what > everything is about.

I've been wondering about this for quite a while and maybe someone out there knows the answer. Over the years I've noticed that several companies have very similar styles of RSs offered. I see lots of similarity Azadi, D.O.T.S., Printworks, Imaginations and some / several other companies I can't think of just now. Is it just me or has other people niticed this? Does anyone know why this is? When I first started RSing I heard that at one time several of these company owners were in partnership and each went their seperate ways (some with very bad feelings). Can anyone confirm, enlighten me about this. Is anyone else interested in this?
