In a complete chance of venue....this is a shot of the artists on the trip in Portland outside of SCRAP. They were all in such a hurry to get inside and see what was in there they made me wait to take photos till after the Scrap shopping. And yes, we all scored and there was no fighting. Not too much anyway. Left to Right Pamela, Tallie, Charity, Kelly and Millicent. We look happy, don't we?
What's not to like? Artistamps? A road trip? An art workshop? Lots of dinners out?
Remember to put a stamp on it!
Love your comments. Thanks to all who post comments and keep me motivated to take time away from making mail art to work on the blog.

Fun stuff! Thank you for posting the photos so I can drool on my screen. Was scrolling down and saw the giant rubberstamp, and then the next pic of it OPEN! Oh my! I gasped !!
ReplyDeleteI gasped too -- is that cool or what?
DeleteOh my god, that giant rubber stamp storage is my favorite thing ever!
ReplyDeleteuncustomary -- i know, I couldn't believe how cool that was.....
DeleteMs. PG -- what a great trip you had... and this trip to the MOA! Having been there myself, I know how what icing on the cake that was. Your photos are gorgeous...and I never saw that article in the Seattle Star. As usual, thanks for your incredible reporting and the visuals to go along with it. It keeps the "putting a stamp on it" alive.

DeletePamela, I'm exceedingly jealous. I love your blog and love that you "took" us to MOA. I would be in heaven if I had a wooden rubber stamp writing desk. Swoon.

DeleteSuch a cool museum. I think artistamps are amazing, though I haven't had nearly as much exposure to them. Have you made artistamps, too? Let me know if you have any posts about it, please! :-)
ReplyDeleteAndria, a little late in answering.....no, I don't think I have an artistamps pots but perhaps I will soon....
DeleteSo good to see the Bart Strike stickers! I was the one who created those, a zillion years ago. Glad to know they're archived!
