Note that if you purchase one of our cling mounted stamp sets, all you will need is an acrylic block or other glossy block to which to adhere your stamps for use. We carry some on this site. See "Mounting", below.
The 14 images fall into 2 sets of reverse-value Celtic Knotwork Triangles and triskele elements. There are:
- 2 large triangles about 4 inches wide x 4 inches tall
- 4 smaller spinning triskele triangles in two sizes (based on design at center of large triangle)
- 4 triskeles in two sizes (based on triskeles within large triangle)
- 2 dart/arrowhead images (based on corners of large triangle)
- 2 long triangle images (based on sides of large triangle)
See "Images & Uses", below for links to images of our stamps used for paper, clay, leather, fabric printing and velvet embossing.
These stamps work well for jewelry/treasure bags, greeting cards and stationery. The long thin Celtic triangle works well as a “header” image on stationery, or on the flap of an envelope.
Great for scarves/shawls: Center one large triangle at each end of scarf (perhaps alternate the reverse-values). Stamp the smaller elements along the length of the scarf.
Note that any black and white images are low resolution. The stamps and the impressions they leave are crisp and clear.
Our stamps are made from our original artwork. We send the images out to be made into magnesium plates and then rubber stamp sheets.

The images on deep etch stamps are raised higher from the "floor" of the stamp - this means that they can produce clearer and crisper images when used on softer surfaces or with thicker inks or paints. They are perfect for printing on fabric or thick rag paper, pressing in clay and embossing velvet.

These stamps were made with velvet embossing in mind. I have posted velvet embossing instructions here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Emboss_Velvet_with_Rubber_Stamps_and_a_Household_I/
See my Velvet Sachets and Scarves sections for samples of stamps on velvet. I also have images of embossed velvet here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/inkandescence/sets/72157606654277727/
The stamps can also be used for stamping clay, other fabrics, paper, Precious Metal Clay, etc.
