The organizing jag continues.  I have lots of good intentions, just slow
progress.   Today, I was organizing stamps, and had a
pleasant surprise; the number and variety I’ve accumulated is more than I had
thought!
I use stamps for metal clay texture
and for etching regular metal.  When I
started in these mediums I purchased discounted stamps and would alter them to
apply my own interpretation of what they should look like.
Recently, I found a free download of
instruction on creating my own stamps. 
It turns out that the methods I was using to modify the purchased stamps
are very similar to those used for creating a unique stamp.  Now I already know, I will be able to turn my
own designs into stamps and increase my tools without higher costs.
So, the discovery with the pleasant
surprise?  A stash of stamps I had
purchased and squirreled away in an odd location.  What is it they say about out of sight?  Oh yes, out of mind!
