Changes

I've moved the Playing Cards sheets to the Games & Playing Card page.

Mythology Collage Sheets

All of our collage sheets are archival, are 8.5 x 11" in size, and coordinate with our rubber stamps.

The cardstock, clear stickers, and acetate transparency sheets are laser-printed.

We have changed our fabric (for the fabric collage sheets) to a heavier weight cotton (still 100% cotton). The thicker cotton really soaks up the ink — see this sample showing the same file printed on the old and new fabrics.

If you are familiar with the Memories permanent dye ink pad colors, the sepia sheets closely match “art print brown.”

Also includes the Latin text "Fluxere interea pede tempora lapsa fugaci, tempora nec possunt lapsa redire tibi" that translates "Though time speeds on eternally, all men's ends established be."

 
Winged Time

This sheet came about during an afternoon of researching tarot card images for Dia de los Muertos shrines (see the Tarot Collage Sheets from the same day here).

The idea of Time is fairly broad on this sheet: traditional "Father Time" with an hourglass and/or a scythe, Michael weighing souls at the last judgment, a Caravaggio painting of an angel playing music, and an odd woodcut with the hourglass as a pendulum clock.

Greek Goddess ABCs Set —
Black or Sepia on Cardstock, Stickers or Fabric;

With a name like Alpha Stamps it only seemed natural to create an alphabet of stamps. Here are twenty eight Goddesses, or at least women from mythology, each beautifully rendered with their defining accessories. Each image is a line drawing in the classic style framed by two columns and entablature.

Two-sheet set. Images include: Artemis, Bacchante, Clio, Daphne, Erato, Fortune, Graces, Hebe, Isis, Juno, Kore, Leda, Melpomene, Nyx, Oceanid, Polyhymnia, Rhea, Sibyl, Terpsichore, Urania, Venus, Xantho, Athena, Calliope, Demeter, Eurydice, Fates and Galatea.

Maenads

See a close-up.

ATC sample using this sheet.

The Maenads or Bacchants in Greek mythology were women devoted to Dionysus. They bore the thyrsos, which is a staff that is crowned with ivy, and wore the skin of a panther, a beast loved by Dionysus for being among the most excitable of animals.
