Hi Gang,
I just received some very nice rubber stamps that I found on Ebay. From a
seller in WI that shipped fast.
The assortment I bought is good sizes and mostly very good - only one out o=

I also bought some other stamps from her that I think will be cool too, but
this set is awesome.
I'd like to find a source for large sheet stamps - 18x18 or 22x22 - that I
could make my own design for - anyone have a source?

There is a place that I have had some stamps made at and they
are really great ..but only the size of a sheet of paper.. I
dont know if they can go bigger or not..
and I cant find my info on them.. hopefully someone else will
know.. ( They are run by United Way or something like that .. )
but here is another ( expensive ) option . This place sells the
stuff to make your own and has a quick tutorial :

Larry,
I'd be interested in seeing what they look like - are you pressing them int=
o
the clay or using them for decoration?
I would like to find some simple stamps to apply slip to glazed pots =3D an=
d
being able to make them would be great.
Let me know if you find the large sheet stamps. I have thought that for
smaller things, there must be a children's craft kit that you could make
them from.

Dear Larry,
Here is one source for having your own designed rubber stamps made,=3D20
although
they are not quite as large as you were asking for. You can get a 9 X=3D2=
0
7 sheet of
stamps made for $32 from WWW.polyclay.com/ready. It is a group=3D20
workshop
in San Diego managed by United Cerebral Palsy who specialize in rubber=3D20
stamps
for use in Poly clay, so they are used to making the bolder impressions=3D2=
0
you need for
clay. For the $32, plus shipping, you will get the sheet of rubber=3D20
stamps, the plate used to make them
(the reverse) and the original impression - all of which are useful. =3D20
Their website explains
it all and includes an order form. You have to mount your own on=3D20
blocks of wood.
For larger areas of texture I use corrugated paper or the black=3D20
corrugated plastic used
to protect carpet, plastic or woven place mats, embossed wallpapers=3D20
(although they are getting
harder to find), decorative embossed papers from art stores (find on=3D20
the internet and order by the
sheet) or overall patterns rolled on with textured rollers. I make=3D20
some of my own from clay, and
also have found napkin holders, toy car wheels, and rubber stamps=3D20
already mounted on rollers.
Google "embossed wallpapers", "embossed papers" and "rubber stamps". =3D20
Wooden or rubber
wheels for furniture can be carved too.
Ellen
P.S. I enjoyed the pictures of your studio and would have voted for=3D20
you if yours
had been in the video contest. =3D20

Ellen,
I got a "not found" when I used the link below. Is it spelled correctly?
I tried the url without the "ready" and got an artist's website - Sarajane'=
s
Polyclay Gallery. Tried it with "org" and got nothing.

Dear Lou,
Yes, I had the same problem when I rechecked it last night. Try=3D20
http://polyclay.com/ready.htm
The "ready" stands for the part of her website that deals with making=3D20

I had to google polyclay and search around amongst the offerings myself=3D2=

to find it. But, It is
still there.

I have only used one rubber stamp, but found that I had a cloth soaked =3D
in
motor oil or any other oil, it made the stamp work easily and release
quickly.=3D20
=3D20
I designed my own stamps out of carving in slabs of paraffin using =3D
different
sharp tools as well as a hot nail as I wanted to press into the freshly
thrown clay still on the wheel. I pressed them on the oiled rag and even
with the very wet clay, the stamps released easily. If you go this =3D
route,
be sure to store these stamps where they will be away from any heat =3D
source
as they either melt or get misshapen.

Hi Bonnie,
Great idea to carve slabs of paraffin. I have used linocuts with success,
but paraffin sounds interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
