Monoprints/stampings by Marcie Vallette

In June 2011 I was invited to give art lessons to a class of 18 pony-clubbers, ranging in age from 7 to 14 years old. I decided to teach them to make their own stamps using meat packing styrofoam. We used water based inks and rollers on our styrofoam cut-outs, and we had a blast that day making horse art. The technique was so much fun that I decided to do it all summer, and to make stamps of other animals. Here are a few samplings of my frogs, baboons and cats. (Chickens, eggs and more coming when I get photos.)
