Jeanne McGee is a printmaker living in Minneapolis, MN and who loves to carve and print small stamps. Jeanne then uses her stamps to print delicate patterns onto reclaimed wood, paper and fabric. Her patterns are inspired by nature and she works from a studio overlooking a beautiful park. Jeanne studied print making first in her home town of San Francisco and then went on to an MFA at the University of Wisconsin. You can find her artwork, tea towels, cards etc in her Etsy shop here and lots…

Here's a roundup of all this week's other pattern stamps Basketweave Positive/negative Wave Ginkgo And you may also find my post on designing your stamped own origami paper interesting!
