Poison Clear Stamp Set
Everything from belladonna to laudanum. And an ornate label for "unbroken chilblains" (that sound pretty nasty so I'm glad we're not stricken with them in the 21st century).

More Poison/Medicine Labels are on the Halloween Collage Sheet page.

"The Alphabet" Set - Unmounted or Trimmed on Cling Foam

"The Alphabet"

Alphabets and flourishes from roughly 500 years of calligraphy and type history that caught my fancy (resized specifically for ATC backgrounds, but will have many uses). Click on the picture to see a larger version with a ruler grid.

A smaller version of the ABC Grid (A-P from an antique children's primer) is available on the Small Alphabet Sheet.

The Cursive Writing (capitals) in the upper left corner is available singly in a smaller size.

For more blackletter text that works well as background or texture, see the Angels we have heard on high... set.

Unmounted or trimmed on cling foam (as a set) only. Not available wood-mounted.

Pen & Ink Clear Stamp Set
Includes a stamp based on a beautiful antique penmanship book in Leslie's collection (that includes a cherub holding a pen nib in the center "C" of the word "Compendium"), plus a set of pen nibs, an ink bottle, a fountain pen, and a set of 3 nibs.

That group of 3 pen nibs (rotated at an angle) was designed to be stamped multiple times like this (or some variation, like a halo). A slightly large stamp of these 3 pen nibs is available as a red rubber stamp.

The "Penmanship" cover image is also available (slighly smaller) as a red rubber stamp.

These are clear stamps that are available as an unmounted sheet only. They are very flexible and behave like stamps mounted on EZmount foam (they temporarily stick to acrylic blocks by themselves).

4" x 6"
