Holy cow. Absolutely GORGEOUS work! I love them all. Do people hand carve their own stamps for mail art? I LOVE it. I would be so excited to see something like this peeking out of my mailbox.

About

This blog is more of a notebook, a random collection of things I find inspiring, that make me feel like experimenting and exploring.

Most of the time, I'll use it to keep precious pictures and links, but I'll try to add my two cents in lengthier posts. And maybe I'll share my own experiments.

Please feel free to browse the archives and subscribe to the RSS feed. If you wish to contact me, you may do so at mitternachts.lied [at] gmail.com
