I randomly bought a rubber in the art shop because there was a little sign that said they were good for making stamps and I wanted to give that a go. I also had the idea that it could be great for my promotional material and multiples, as I could stamp my zines and prints with my logo or a call card type thing. I ended up getting really into stamps because they were extremely fun to make, I also love the texture the ink leaves on the paper.
I thought that I would kill two birds with one stone by making business card designs as well as stamp designs because that way they could be one in the same or I could pick and choose from them. I turned some of these designs into stamps that I could use on the back of my zines. I then wanted to make a bigger stamp but couldn't find a cheep big rubber block so I used 4 small rubber together that would piece together to make a big stamp.
I also got into fungi because of the theme of the zombie ant fungi, so I made a bunch of mushroom stamps that I could use wherever. Ceri also showed me a stamp book that gave me lots of ideas and its safe to say that I will be making more in the future (even after uni).
