Hand Carved Letter set by Ruud Janssen

This set I carved in the eind 90-ies and I used the eraser carved stamps in many letters. Found them back in the collections of the TAM Rubberstamp Archive because I am bringing all eraser carved stamps into several boxes

 

Above you see one of the boxes with some carved stamps. A historic collection with also works from other mail-artists that donated their word to the Archive.

Eraser Carved Rubberstamp - By Ruud Janssen

Discoverd an older rubber stamp I carved in the 90-ies. It is still in good condition. I print all the original rubberstamps that are in the TAM Rubberstamp Archive also to keep their cndition good. The oil in the ink makes the rubber live longer. If you don't do that, they will just fall to pieces (just like that!).
The Rubberstamp is of course only finished when you put your original fingerprints inside the open spot....

Eraser Carved Rubberstamp - By Lon Spiegelman - USA

This Eraser Carved Rubberstamp is one of my Favorites. It is made by the late Lon Spiegelman (USA). He had a set of imaginary people he tranferred into rubber. Besides a lot of prints he also carved this one for me and donated it to the TAM Rubberstamp Archive. It still works very well when I print it every few years to keep it in good condition.

Donation by J.F. Chapelle - France

The parcel that J.F Chapelle (France) sent me was well packed. It is a whole performance to just open it. I needed some sissors too as you can see below.



The box was stamped with one of J.F.'s stamps. All I have to do now is open the boz and discover what is inside.




As you can see, a wonderful box with two original rubberstamps in it. Will be tempting to use them for the first time (or keep them like they arrived.
