It’s high noon in Stampland! We asked for stampers’ takes on ponies, rifles, sagebrush, herds of cattle, and cowgirls, and we weren’t disappointed. Six of our featured stampers live “out west,” and three of them call Arizona home.
The artwork shown on the Home Page and above is titled “The Ride Home.” The artist is Hannah Gibson, who “wanted to create a scene with silhouetted cactus. I love the stark contrast of the background behind the dark silhouettes. I think it draws the viewer’s eye in with its bold colors.”
The artwork shown below by Roz Standiford is titled “Home on the Range.” This scene, straight from the artist’s imagination, began with a set of foam-backed western stamps bought years ago. “I think the horses are trying to run past the cowboy,” Roz says. The brown horse was stamped first. She then masked it and stamped more horses.
