PLATE 1

Scenes of Persia

Experience the sights and sounds of the ancient marketplace,
as these scenes transport you back in time. These stamps are
designed to appear as old newspaper prints.

Tips for stamping finely detailed images:

Use a semi-dry ink pad, or a brayer, to apply the ink to the stamp. Stamp on non-porous paper. Glossy paper will give the crispest image but any good non-porous stamping paper will achieve good results. Use a strong, steady pressure. If all else fails place the paper on the floor, the stamp on the paper, a book on top of the stamp, and stand on it!
