I've got to admit that I've been most impressed with the personally carved
stamps, but it's a heavy weight off my shoulders to know that it's really OK
to use a commercial stamp. Might get my planned letterboxes planted quicker
now!
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with iprint.com. Seems sort of
like a half-way way of doing things. Coming up with the design and
submitting it to iprint to make into a stamp would allow for a little
creativity anyway, with less of a focus on carving skill.
Regards,
Bruce

I haven't used iprint.com, but I have had several stamps made from my
designs by a local stamp company. I have been really impressed with the
quality of the imprints. The cost is a little prohibitive... a stamp
the size of a Pink Pearl eraser would cost about $10-$12.

but, the pre-made commercial stamps cost half that much, so it
doesn't really seem *that* expensive...
i realize the hand-made ones end up *far* cheaper, but, some of
us can't even draw a decent image to carve, nevermind do the
actual carving...

And if you find a nice image you want to transfer to a stamp, you can photocopy it, and transfer it off by placing the image face down on a stamp, and rub the back with nail polish. The image will transfer off onto the stamp, then you can carve it out.

HEY! Thanks for this info! I've been mucking about trying to trace
with with carbon paper and all I have managed to do is get my erasers
all black. I will give this a try this weekend!

You
can also use a cool iron to transfer the image. Be sure to start with a
very cool iron and heat it up slowly until the image
transfers.
