Our new friend Susie Q has a fun flickr gallery she has created using our rubber art stamps and GWOs in her wonderful polymer clay and paper crafts. You can view it on her flickr YanKiwi Gallery page.

If you are looking for whimsical embellishments and wonderful collage transparencies, Helga and James' ARTchixstudio.com is the place to shop!

Another of our most favorite stampers and collectors of the fun and magical are Ginny Carter Smallenburg and John Smallenburg, of Small Studios Productions. Ginny also has an entertaining blog that you can read: Ginny's Small Studio. We love these folks!

Speaking of blogs, our own Susan, aka the Kiwi, has launched into cyber space with her own blog Tales of a Mad Kiwi. Join her as she laughs and cries her way through life in the States, and the state of being creative, and well, anything else that takes her fancy to write about.

Look at the upcoming issues of Rubber Stamp Madness , and Altered Arts for our new ads. Also if you are interested in looking at back issues, check out the March/April 2007 issue of RSM for a review of our site, and a write up about us in Somerset's Stampers' Sampler November/December 2006 issue, New Zealand artist Kathleen Green's very cool altered arts article in Altered Arts magazine May/June 2007, and more recently, Susan's wonderful bamboo bracelets were featured in Crafts n' Things magazine, July/August 2008. You can get yourself a bamboo tile kit and get started making wearable art using products for sale on our GWO pages .

If Gnomes grab your fancy, the Queen Gnome has amassed a collection of Gnome stamps on her site, check out the Queen's collection.

Interested in networking with other creative types? Check out the rubber stamp forum at Rubberstampchat.net. It is an online community where rubber stampers share ideas, learn techniques and make new friends. Once you register to RSC, please read the rules located in Forum News in the Bulletin Board. If forum life is new to you then visit their FAQ (frequently asked questions) page. There is a link at the top of the forum and there you will find explanations on how to do just about everything. We have recently uploaded to our YanKiwi gallery that RSC hosts. See if you can find your card there! Tell them the Kiwi sent you!

Another interesting community of stampers was just introduced to us, the Gingerwood Bulletin Board is a lively interaction of rubber stampers that are willing to share tips and techniques, and more.

There are many ways to mount our wonderful stamps, several companies offers acrylic mounting blocks and static cling foam systems such as offered by Sunday International. Or you can use adhesive mount and good old hard American maple. Kai scissors are a must for cutting rubber like butter.

We can't imagine that you didn't find the stamp you were looking for from our catalog, but on the off chance you didn't, please visit Find A Stamp, or RubberStampingLinks.com, both offer listings of rubber stamp companies and where you are sure to find a company that will fit your creative needs.

YanKiwi has made our way up and down the State, of California that is, ok and a side trip to Vegas and Arizona! Please look for announcements on which stamp conventions we will be at next. We have participated in shows by these promoters: ASITH Original Rubber Stamp Convention; Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo; Heirloom Productions and Rubber Stamp Spring Fling, Mesa, AZ.

Looking for wearable YanKiwi art? We have been playing around with some of our designs, and some interesting collage for YanKiwi Wear, our wee CafePress shop at www.cafepress.com/yankiwi.

If you are interested in linking with us, please contact Tracy, we'd love to look at your site and list it.

Finally, if you are looking for a website designer in the Southern California area, may we suggest contacting the fine folks at ImageWay Digital Media that worked with us.
