Oriental Rubber Stamp

An Oriental rubber stamp can be used to adorn all kinds of arts and crafts. Many people use rubber stamps for decorating their scrapbook pages. Rubber stamps are also perfect for making handmade cards. Asian alphabet characters and decorations look great on all kinds of projects that go beyond plain paper. For example, an unmounted stamp can be used to transfer an image to an object like a candle or flower vase. You can buy special ink made for non-porous surfaces as well as traditional ink made for paper.

If you are considering using stamps for both porous and non-porous surfaces, you may want to try an ink like Palette Hybrid. This ink is great because it can be used on many different surfaces, although it must be heat treated when used on glossy, non-porous items. Today's stamp ink is available in a wide variety of colors. Many people prefer traditional black ink because it looks crisp and clean. Some crafters like to add color to their stamped images using colored pencils, paints, markers or chalk.

When stamping Asian characters, black is a striking color to use that looks fantastic on any color background. Black is also great for artistic stamps. For example, you may find an artistic stamp that features a picture of a geisha girl or festive dragon. These types of stamps make ideal images for adding your own color. You can buy Asian theme stamps in unmounted sheets to mount on your own stamp handle, or you can buy them already mounted. If you are planning to collect lots of stamps, unmounted is usually the best way to go because they are easy to store. Some people put their unmounted stamps in clear plastic bags and store them in a file cabinet.

You can buy the perfect Oriental rubber stamp for your needs on the Internet or sometimes even from a local craft store. There are thousands of rubber stamps available, some of them made by master artists and crafters. You can even order custom made stamps that are created to your specifications. For example, you can get your name in Asian calligraphy. With the wide variety of Asian theme stamps on the market, it is easy to experiment with this artistic style.
