After each Whipper Snapper release, I order a few wood mounted stamps of some of my favorite images from the release. My order arrived yesterday, and I thought I'd share a photo! I absolutely LOVE getting the stamps in the mail. Sure, I draw the image and color the images for the labels, but actually having the product in my hands is most excellent. Whipper Snapper does such a wonderful job making the stamps; it is an honor to be able to work with them.
If you're not familiar, I am an artist for Whipper Snapper Designs, a rubber stamp company. They turn my illustrations into rubber stamps, like those above, for crafters. They are sold worldwide, and the complete collection can be found on their website. The stamps are available from Whipper Snapper as wood mount, cling mount, and as bare rubber, depending on the preference of the stamper. When I order my own stamps, I always order wood mounted; I love having the colored label and having the wood mounted stamps on display is something I truly enjoy.
On another topic, I've been asked about our "mystery chick". Here is a photo I took just a few minutes ago. This photo really shows the progress of feather growth. I still don't know what breed this little one is... and I'm REALLY hoping it's not a little roo!!
Love the new stamps! So cute!
Do you have Americauna or Araucana hens? I'm not I spelled either right, but from the start, your pics of your mystery chick look just like ours! I love the pretty black eyeliner and striped backs and wings of the chicks. As the get older, their cheeks get puffy and they remind me of hawks. We get blue, green, brown, peach and pink eggs from them. Keep us updated, I'd love to see what she (hopeful thinking she's not a roo) grows up to be!

It is such a joy to see all your creations and artwork. I cannot believe that your Cling Sets has reached 70 sets...you're AMAZING!!!...you truly are! I think I've said it before, but I want to be you when I grow up. (wink, wink) I'm pretty sure I'm older than you. Ha

Love seeing your new stamps! Thanks for the chick update. I hope it is a hen, too. It is fun to see how "it" is developing and can't wait to see what it looks like as an adult. If it is a hen I hope she lays some cool colored eggs! :D

I love getting stamps in the mail, too!!! I put myself on a year-long buying freeze last August and then broke down last month to buy a few, so now I REALLY appreciate getting them in the mail. Your stamps are always so cute. I think I'll have to order that Raggedy Ann one come next August - so adorable. Is there an Andy one, too?
