Themed Stampings
July 12, 2009
In Auguest, I have an art show at a wine tasting event, and wanted to offer some “winey” items to patrons.
In addition to the obvious Wine Glass Charms, I thought about some wine-themed jewelry, and stamping was the first thing that came to mind!
Using some medium-sized sterling silver disks, I stamped a few phrases that I thought might catch the eye of wine-lovers – “Wines Constantly” (I actually have a t-shirt that says this, LOL), “Pop My Cork” and “Vineyard Vixen”. I’ve asked some friends on Facebook and some of my jewelry boards for ideas, and have gotten some other good ones.
Stamping is a lot of fun, and you can be VERY creative! Not only in what you stamp, but how you place the letters, extra designs you can work in (notice the “I” in Vineyard is dotted with a spiral?)….plus I’m thinking color could easily be added using different colored Sharpie markers to “antique” the stamps.
Detailed free instructions for stamping are available on Beaducation, Lisa Niven Kelly’s fabulous site. Try stamping, you’ll be hooked!!
