i heart stamp art (and Klutz Books!)

recently, i had the wonderful opportunity to work with the admirable and super creative Kaitlyn Nichols, and Klutz Books, on some art for their newest activity book, Stamp Art. the book comes with a clear stamping block and tons of clear stamping shapes. the stamps stick onto the block and can be used over and over again to make a variety of fun shapes and creations. the challenge for the artists working on the book was to create sophisticated creatures, plants, and other designs, using entirely stamp art shapes, that the kids could be instructed to make. there are also a ton of fun-themed pages for free play.

fittingly, most of the art they chose to use from me, was ocean themed! my crab, jellyfish, and octopus made a special appearance.
congrats (and thank you!) to everyone on the klutz creative team (especially kate!!!) and all the other talented stamp artists for completing this amazing book. i honestly had a ridiculous amount of fun working on it. the initial limitations of the stamp shapes actually led to more inventive ways to create. which in turn, had me making endless possibilities, with a special focus. this book is endless fun + creativity for your kids (or you!) buy it here.

  7. Kiele! Congrats! So cool to see this. It reminds me of a similar book I got at my kindergarten book fair that was mostly art creations from thumbprints. This one is even better because it's ocean!
