Monkey House: A Complete Guide to Rubber Stamp Pads and Inks. As someone who’s been involved with rubber stamping for more than 25 years, I truly appreciate the vast array of stamp pads that are currently available on the market. There are so many stunning colors, and so many specialty inks that can be used to produce amazing effects! But I’ve got to admit that all these choices can get a bit overwhelming.
How can you possibly hope to make sense of all the different brand names and types of ink? Well, follow along, and we'll explore the alternatives and help you decide which ink pads will work best for your artistic style. The first inkpads I ever saw were those single-color office supply pads, enclosed in a case with a hinged lid. They 're great for marking a bill as "PAID" or a package as "FRAGILE", but they didn’t do much for me as an artist.
After shopping around at half a dozen office supply stores, I managed to collect a total of five colors, and the stamp impressions they provided were less than stunning. Fortunately, those days are over.

Simply me. "i cant believe i did that. " last thursday i spent the day at the Studio with the intention of painting on some too-large-for-my-home canvases. i actually dont normally go to the Studio to create, i am most comfortable creating at home, but because of the sizes of the canvases i decided to make a day of it and venture the 1.5 miles down the road from my house and use the Studio as my muse. i had 3 canvases going at once (Stephen and i are planning an event that pairs my mixed-media free-spirited style with his fine art figure painting abilities and i was supposed to be working on that, i never got there, lol!!) As i moved around the room i had reached a point on each that either they needed to dry or i was stumped as to where to go next. i have a couple larger in progress canvases stashed in the back room and took this piece out. i think it had been back there, stashed way in the back for about 6 months. until thursday!!!
