Process

There are times when the drawn image isn't quite what is needed.  There's something about the quality of an image with a more commercial edge - a feel of mass production.  Still the 'mass' part of the production is sometimes far from reality.  Other than photo processes and silk screens - which are another layer in  the technical application - I first think of stamps.  Pretty low tech.  The issue is having the right stamp with the perfect image. 

I quit a long time ago looking in stores that carry those things
- though there is quite a proliferation these days.  Instead, I opt to make my own stamps.  I'm generally not willing to wait for a stamp made of clay to dry and be fired, so I make them out of polymer clay and bake in the oven.  Ready to go while the clay is still in peak condition.
