What a gorgeous book! January 9, 2006
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Holding Art Stampting Workshop in my hands, and looking through it page by page, I was delighted again and again to see interesting projects ranging from practical to purely decorative, presented in a clear and friendly way. Added to this multitude of lovely projects by the author is a gallery section showing work of many other talented artists, making a well-rounded book that is both down to earth and inspiring.
A Must Have for Stampers! January 8, 2006

If you want to take your stamping to the next level...you need this book! If you already have some experience carving your own stamps, you'll find yourself inspired by this book. If you've never thought about carving your own stamps, this book will make you want to do it. Even if you never pick up a carving tool in your life, the book is a great resource of ideas and techniques. I am sure I will refer to it again and again.
There IS something mesmerizing about carving one's own stamps...I have done a few small simple ones and find that they are the ones I use over and over, with or instead of the hundreds of purchased stamps in my collection. This book is a delightful journey into the world of stamp carving--Gloria Page is a charming mentor who will immediately put you at ease and bolster your confidence as she shares her wisdom and experience.
For the most part, the book sticks to basic techniques and materials, so the subject never seems overwhelming. Yet, Ms. Page's myriad ideas and suggestions along the way will open your eyes to the rich universe of possibilities for your own art stamps. Step-by-step instructions are clear, easy to follow, and accompanied by gorgeous pictures that get right up close and personal so you can really see what is going on. Every how-to chapter is enriched by the inclusion of little sidebars that suggest alternative ideas, call attention to an important fact, or provide more detail about the process under discussion.
The projects in the book are straightforward yet do a great job of demonstrating the sophistication a hand-carved stamp can bring to a piece. The Gallery of works by other artists featuring their own hand-carved stamps is lovely and just adds to the inspiration I got from this book. The Portrait Gallery was my hands-down favorite. In fact, I can't WAIT to carve a small portrait of myself to use on the backs of my stamped cards and other art.
If you're a stamper, this book is a must-have for your library!
A must have book for every stamper whether you make your own stamps or not January 7, 2006

This book contains detailed instructions and step by step photos on how to carve and stamp onto a variety of mediums. The projects are imaginative and creative and gives the reader room to take them one step further. The photos of the finished projects are beautiful and so unique that it makes me want to get started on a number of them right away. There are projects to stamp on rocks, fabrics, buttons, bracelets, goards, clothing, frames, as well as more traditional surfaces such as paper, journals.
Art Stamping Workshop is *INSPIRATIONAL* January 5, 2006

I LOVE the NEW book that Gloria Page wrote, it is incredible with tons of detail, information, color, design, idea's, photographs of Gloria's artwork, along with 28 other hand-carving artists....the detail & colors will blow you away, I know it did me, & I am still looking at it. Gloria your special touch for writing is superb, oh & your artwork is always a treat to admire.
You will be able to create hand-carved stamps, that you can use on paper, fabric, polymer clay and just about anything you would like to put your newly carved images on. You will find image inspiration, materials needed for creating your own hand-carved stamps, techniques for stamping your newly created images, there are beautiful colored pages throughout the whole book, excellent instructions for each of the projects in the book.
Art Stamping Workshop by Page is "THE" book to have if you have always wanted to learn "how to hand-carve" PLUS learn how to use your new carved images on unique fun projects.
The main ingredient that you will find in this NEW book by Page is INSPIRATION, that will then inspire you to carve your own stamps, then create your own personal beautiful piece of artwork. Remember you don't have to KNOW how to draw.
Along with 28 other artists, I am very honored to have 3 of my MAIL ART postcards & some of my waterfowl faux postoides on page 112.
Thanks Gloria for another exciting inspiring book!
Delicious Eye Candy! January 5, 2006

Once again Gloria Page has created a book that you'll refer back to again and again. Unlike her first book, Holy Moly Mackeroly which was more of a candid how to book, this one is chock full of innovative and well thought out projects and instruction. This book offers something for everyone; novice or expert, it will take you on a carving journey that will challenge and delight. As a stamping instructor, professional designer and artist, this book appealed to me on so many levels that I have not only bought a copy for myself but, have given it away as gifts to others and recommended it as a must have to my students wanting to take their stamping to the next level.
