stamps...."oldies"

When I found my little Quilting Beasts the other day
(see polkadotponie.blogspot.com)
I also found the stamps I carved about 100 years ago
to make those tiny quilts.

Here is a photo of a choice few of them:
and all the rest of them in the box!
This is a really great nest.
It is the larger one on the print below.
I think that it is incredible that they still print after sitting in that box for over 15 years!
The print is still pretty clear, too, isn't it? (my photo isn't though)

  1. OOH Jone I bet you can make some really cool stuff with these stamps and I can not wait to see the results. I love the colors. Is that paint or ink? They look like juju beans or what ever those jelly candies were called.
