In the current issue of Somerset Studio I am very honored to have my Painted Ladies rubber sheet featured for the article "With One Stamp". Thank you to the artists who made lovely things with the images. I have had alot of questions reguarding the unmounted sheet and how to use the eggs. I often suggest leaving one row of eggs to use lined up. If you do cut apart the rows of eggs you can layer them in varying colors to create a speckled egg. Be sure to label the back sides of each size of eggs to keep yourself organized.
Here is a sample (above) of using the layers of speckles with PAINT.
The above shows layering the eggs with INK. And below shows the entire Painted Ladies 8 x 10 sheet. For ordering information, go to the GPP site HERE.
Below shows my mess, but you can see how I mount the stamp images on foam, and store them by size in plastic bags. I use gel formula contact cement as adhesive. The foam base is a kneeling pag, meant for gardeners, found at this season at places like Lowes and Home Depot. Trim rubber close to image, apply cement on the back of rubber and face of foam, let dry, adhere and cut with sharp utility knife. Tutorial HERE.
And finally, below shows how I store my stamps, in acrylic frames.
