How Good Is Good Eanough?

From: scheherezadebox (saski@safe-mail.net) | Date: 2005-04-22 05:53:59 UTC


I carved my personal stamp and a few others hoping to plant a box
soon. BUT, I am afraid that after awhile of stamp use the stamp will
get clogged and you will end up with a big square stamped instead of
the intricate little thing I carved.
Am I doing it wrong? Should I care? Should I take a class?

Just plan to carry something to clean your stamps when you do box
maintenance. You should be able to keep it in good condition that way.
Hand-carved is good enough. :-)

Knit Wit,

Could you define what that something is to clean your stamps when you do box maintenance? Thanks!

I use damp paper towels. Try to avoid anything with a fragrance as it tends
to attract animals.
