Hand stamped stationery
Here's something fun to make with hand carved stamps...personalized stationary!
Any type of paper will do. I used a really nice speckled banana fiber paper stationery writing set that I got at my local organic produce store and embellished it with my own carved rubber stamps.

oh please can you tell me where the organic produce store is. I have lived in teh area for a while but treasures like this I have not found.
they look great! :)
Perfect craft for the cold fall afternoons.
It´s so nice. As all your work... But I just love the pair of scissors!!!
You rock! (and very nicely painted ones, too! ;)
Now if only people would write more actual paper letters, eh?
What brand is the fountain pen? I want it! My favorite is the one with the ship and feather, it's lovely - the detail on those stamps.....I saw the video of you making it and I don't think I could do it. You are so talented!! If ever you decide to sell those two stamps, let me know!!

very nice ;)
That is nice, organic produce store? I like the sissors also!
It is always nice to receive snail mail and especially nice if the sender has taken the time to make the stationary. Beautiful as always.
Beautiful!

What beautiful stationery! I used to write lots and lots of long letters to pen pals worldwide.Now it seems e-mails are faster and have managed to replace almost everything!
You made me want to try this though!Ariadne from Greece

i recently saw your art video and i sure think you are an absolute genius :) the finesse in your work speaks for itself
These are beautiful! The Ship is so detailed for such a little rubber stamp.
HI Genine!
Thanks for sharing all your great ideas with us!
You are very talented!
I love the little videos about you during work!
It's extraordinary to be able to take a blink into artists studios and working moments!
Good work!
Oh man. I recently bought a linoleum cutter after reading your blog. I am not very good yet--at all. But despite the few cuts I have gotten, it's so much fun! Thanks for inspiring me!
So pretty :-)
so soft and lovely..pure bliss!
beautiful! que bello Geninne!
They look beautiful. How do you hand carve rubber stamps? do you use lino pads? There's a compay here in london that can turn drawings into rubber stamps but I'd love to know how to carve my own. any suggestions? thanks x
Lovely stationery! I also wanted to let you know I recognized your work, before your name over here!: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp?popId=APARTMENT&navAction=poppushpush&isSortBy=true&navCount=12&pushId=APARTMENT_WHATSNEW&id=A_COLL_LATEFALL09APT
Love that, too!
Great gift giving idea.
What a nice way to personalize a letter! Lovely...
Great artist! Very original.
Pretty! And great photography!
Amazing!!!! i love it*_*
so pretty! these make me want to go run out and buy cute stamps... because I don't think I have the skill or the patience to carve my own! :)
I love them! Such clean, crisp images! How do you get such even images with your hand-carved stamps? What inks do you use?
Geninne, these are amazing. I would so love to receive snail mail in the form of these hand stamped letters.
You are the best.
These stamps are beautiful! What a great find.
