September Demonstration by Linda Moore
 |
Linda Moore, who works at Stamping Details, 14009 Midland Road, with her associate, Joanne Richart, create a vibrant entrance into the twin worlds of stamping and art.
Linda is holding a copy of the magazine " Expressions" in which she is featured. |
 |
Her work encompasses greeting cards, shoes, jewelry, gourds and ceramic art. |

Linda demonstrates batik images |
 |
which results in this card, shown with three others |
 |
Judicious use of black background, bleach and heat gun |
 |
evolves into a zebra card. |
 |
If you could run your finger along this shell, your tactile sense would reveal 3 dimensions. |
 |
Here you have the seeming miracle of embossing powder treated with a heat gun. |
 |
Myriad tools are available, such as this gadget that not only punches holes of different dimensions, but sets eyelets. |

The demonstration was a grand overview by an exceptional teacher, a former Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, who started stamping as a means of cutting down on Christmas card expenses and now has 4,500 stamps.

About the Artist
When experimenting or learning a new technique and you ask yourself if something will work, then you MUST try it or you will never grow as an artist. For me the joy is in the journey of creating not necessarily the end result. |

Linda is a self-taught mix media artist who loves to spend every moment she can creating. Her passion is rubber stamping because it offers so much versatility.
She began stamping in the fall of 1996 and has taught a variety of classes including stamping on terra cotta pots, domino wire art necklaces, style stone pins, cloth doll art, paper clay and various card classes. Over the years she has continued taking classes and has been influenced by many talented artists. With each class she adds a new dimension to her own art work.
