More Exhibitions at MCBA - Scott Helmes and William ‘Picasso’ Gaglione, MCBA’s H/G Archive.

In the Minnesota Centre For Book Arts library a number of Scott Helmes and William ‘Picasso’ Gaglione Archive stamps, and stamp pads were exhibited. 

Take a look at the antique stamp pad tins - fantastic graphics. 

Inside the boxes from the H/G Rubber Stamp Archive, Minnesota Centre for Book Arts.

Over the length of the 4 week residency I gradually opened all the boxes in the archive. Each held a treasure trove of rubber stamp surprises.

Antique Rubber Stamps

For the last few weeks I've been staying temporally in my Sisters house. I haven't had the space, or time to make my own stamps, but I have purchased quite a few stamps off the net. These are antique stamps from the 1960s, and 1970s. I've managed to find some great bargains from the USA and around the UK.

My niece and I have been trying them out, making mail art, get well soon cards and other things.
