Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Mary wants to know: "What are some ways I can revive my stamps that are not in a box, especially rubber that's on wood?"
A: Sunlight and exposure can be especially damaging to rubber stamps. Try using Versamark ink to soften and recondition the rubber (ink up, let sit, then gently clean). One of our members recommends this recipe for reviving rubber: Mix 2 teaspoons glycerin with 1/2 cup of distilled water. Place dry stamps, image down, on a plate or other shallow tray/pan. Add enough mix to cover just the rubber. Let soak for at least an hour, then rinse until rubber no longer feels slick. Air dry & put away. Check out this forum thread for more ideas from our members!

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Tamara has a tip for the Paper Bow tutorial: "I came up with measurements for a mini bow. Cut one 1/2" by 2" strip of paper. Cut eight 1/2" by 3" strips of paper, and four 1/2" by 2 1/2" strips of paper. The bow will be about 1/4 the size of the original."
