Our 12x12” Meadowlark Stamp was a true dream project for us. We have a little love of birds here at IOD (have you noticed!?), and we wanted a set that lets makers build those classic nature scenes you see on vintage china plates and old transferware. 

Designed as a single, versatile sheet, it includes both background trees and foreground birds so you can create layered compositions with that familiar “birds on a branch” china pattern seen on vintage European dishware. The trees were sourced in the Paris flea markets, and the birds come from an 1800s archive. We picture makers creating their own decorative “plates” for wall displays, or using Meadowlark for cards, mixed media, and art pieces. 

But wait- there’s more.

The IOD décor stamps aren’t just for furniture and home décor, you can use them to transform your food art as well! The stamps are made from a food safe material (do not use the same sets for food and paint ;)). But be warned- they are not for high heat applications. Do NOT put in dishwasher, they will melt at extreme heats. And then you will be extremely heated too.

PREPARATION IS KEY.

Before removing from backing, condition your stamps with very fine sandpaper, scuff the surface in two directions. This helps the mediums stay put, and not bead (which some types, like ceramics glazes, tend to do).

Remove stamps from backing when ready to use. This takes some force, but don’t worry, the stamps are strong.
