I have four Lb's out there and they all have carved stamps that are
ok. You can tell I'm not an artist, but I think they look all right
when compared to some I have stamped. I have a tendancy to carve
something, then carve in the name of the place. My letter carving
needs a lot of work and I always seem to make a mistake or slip a
little with the carving tool that ruins the letter.
I'm now leaning more towards making my stamps more symbolic and for
getting the lettering, until I get better at it. What do you think? Do
you like stamps that are more just picture art? Or, do you prefer
stamps that along with a picture has the name of the place carved into
the stamp? I think that the lettering makes the stamp more of a
suvinieror
Just looking for insight. Thank you.

the stamp is yours. the art on the stamp is yours. okay, good, bad or
excellent it is still yours. i think most letterboxers aren't going to judge
you by the quality of your lettering or your carving. most letterboxers are
going to appreciate the fact that you carved a stamp and planted it. so, do
what you want to do!

You're carving the stamp, you're the artist. *My* opinion says create
whatever *you* want to create. No matter how simple, how complex, with
letters, without letters, I love anything that's unique. If someone took
the time and effort to create something, it's great.
One thing I do, if I want to add wording, is to make two stamps, and thus
plant two boxes. One with the wording, one with the "picture." That way if
I can't get the wording right and decide to just plain give up, and maybe
come back to it another day, I still have one box to plant.

Good Idea; two stamps one with words & one with picture.
