I come across all kinds of articles every day, and just came across a press release for Nicole Yost s Asta Arts Kick Ass Rubber Stamps. While we on IAM are a creative lot (along with scarification, piercing, and tattoo artists, we have our fair share of photographers, knitters, scrapbookers, and other crafters), I couldn t find any forums for rubber stamping. Maybe it s because there weren t any cool stamps before?
The inspiration for the retro-cool stamps came to Yost during a late-night crafting session. I was making a stack of hand-stamped cards and I just thought, Why doesn t anyone make any cool rubber stamps? I knew exactly what I wanted, but no one was selling anything like that.
Eventually, Yost drew up the designs herself and her company, Asta Arts, was born. The prices, starting at $4.99 for a small nautical star and going up to $14.
99 for an intricate dragon seem reasonable to me, as compared to what I see in the local craft store. I don t have these in my hands so I don t know the actual quality, but the lines look like they d be great for decorating a scrapbook, laying out the bare basics of a tattoo design plan, or stamping your little sister to convince your mom that you ve corrupted her, too. For LiveJournal users, thanks to the BME IAM community there, a feed has been added so you can add this blog to your friends list.
