Rubber Stamps by Vickie Enkoff

Home

Vickie Enkoff offered creative art rubber stamps at this site for many years. Sadly, she passed away in August of 2007. Her family was happy to give the stamps a new home with Amy at Alluring Impressions Rubber Stamps. We hope that you will visit the Alluring Impressions website and purchase Vickie's stamps there. She also offers stamps from Vickie's line that were designed by Vickie's two daughters, Melanie Sage and Jennifer Schmidt, as well as images designed by many other artists, including Gloria Page, Zana Hall, and Lucid Dreams.

We are currently using this site to build a memorial celebration of Vickie's life and writings. I hope to be able to offer Vickie's publications here in the future. She worked to support fellow artists, especially those trying to conquer studio clutter and artists dealing with chronic pain.

Vickie was a member of many yahoogroups, but ran several of them herself as well. A few that are continuing under the leadership of new faithful volunteers include:

Creative Chaos, where Amy posts sales and information related to Vickie's former stamp line. Sometimes she posts really great deals or info on clearance stamps- you can get the inside buzz by subscribing to this group.

Organized Studio, a group that shares ideas for organizing art items and offers support to the overwhelmed creative.

This is the Frida Kahlo themed shrine that Vickie made the day before she died. She loved Frida's work and related to the chronic pain issues Frida suffered from throughout most of her life.
