I guess I’ve been in a stamping mood lately. I made these sometime last week as “thanks yous” for my swap paticipants.
I really like being able to use several different stamps for layering.
The front of the bookmark has a house, bird, paisley and swirls and the back has the upside down queen with pigtails (that I drew in).
I think Super-E and I will be collaborating on bookmarks for his class mates at the end of the school year. He can draw up the images he likes, I’ll carve them out and then let him stamp away.
This weekend though, we I get to work on an Egyptian costume for a play that he’ll be in for school. Fun!

Those bookmarks are fantastic. I think I will have to have a go at making some. I really love your hand carved stamps. So much inspiration on your blog. It’s great.

I love the carvings — inspiring! They’d be great hung on the wall.

Regina! You continue to amaze and inspire me. Could you please make an entry about what inspires you? Your work is so sweet and comforting but not sappy or condescending. Did you have a childhood filled with fairy tales? Were your parents the long lost decendents to the Russian crown? Love it!

I am new to your blog and just love the stamps you have made. Have you ever done a tutorial on stamp making?

I love the stamped bookmarks and what a good idea for a class present…

Lovely. I especially like the tall narrow house and the pigtails were a great addition.
Enjoy your weekend. I’m sure he’ll have one of the most admired Egyptian costumes in the play. Years from now he’ll show his kids a picture of him in the costume and he’ll say, “Your Grandma made that” and they’ll be in awe. (I’ve no idea what brought that image to my mind, but there it is.)

Hi Regina
I just got my package today with the cards & my bookmark. I was blown away! I can’t get over that you carve all those stamps on your own. I know it’s a lot of work.
I’ll post my cards on my blog & flickr.
Thanks for hosting! I’m definetely in on the next one.
Take care
