I do a fair amount of surfing the web and I shop  online a lot (since I live in a small town that's at least
 an hour away from the big city). So I thought I'd share a few sites and information others might be interested in. 

RubberStampingLinks.com
Resource for rubber stamps, stamping accessories, books, magazines, message boards, videos, art papers, convention information, scrapbooking, stamp art galleries, clubs, stores, stamping techniques and more.

   
Publisher of Somerset Studio: The Art of Paper & Mixed-Media & other great art magazines.

 Dick Blick has got good prices and a wide variety of tools & equipment for just about any kind of creative endeavor. They even have printing presses for etching, kilns, pottery wheels, etc, etc, etc. A great resource for teachers as well. Go order a free catalog (get the one for art educators, it's packed with a mouth watering selection of materials for all kinds of different media.)

 These next 3 images are Amazon links, The Collage Discovery Workshop book is one I own. It has lots of collage techniques and one in particular that involves wax and stamps, I haven't tried it yet but I plan to. I see lots of rave reviews concerning Claudine's books. The other is RubberStampMadness magazine, check out the In the Spotlight section of the March/April issue, for a write up on yours truly. For those of you who are also into fabric (and even those who aren't), Cloth - Paper - Scissors is a new magazine that has had some great lessons in transfer techniques and other cool projects. I think this is only the second year it's been in print and comes out quarterly.
