Makers Mark

[ReneeCanady]

FINALLY getting somewhere. My hubby was able to drill a hole in the back of my makers stamp for the standard bit to sit in. He also had to take the standard bit and file it flat (it was pointed). He made the hole in the stamp just a touch smaller than the bit shaft. Here is the final result. It still won't make a good impression on wood but the inside of my leather is coming out clearly. I should have had the alteredleather@yahoo.com just a bit larger in font.

neat and classy.

What size is the text?

[ReneeCanady]

Thanks! Ummmm I don't know I'll check lol.

Well, my paper work says 4cm but that can't be right because the top and middle line are the same, but the bottom line is smaller. I'll have to measure for you next run to the leather room.

thats probably about right....4cm x 2cm

I will someday order another. I like the 4cm size, but next one I want the email address to be the same. It's really touchy at 2cm. Sometimes you can read it and sometimes you can't lol.

hmmm...maybe i should have thought about putting a url on the end of my stamp! Oh well, live and learn.

I put my email on there because that's the only way the Navy guys can contact me. On my business cards I have my email, etsy, and facebook addresses. LOL I didn't even put my phone number on the cards because I don't need my phone ringing all the time, but am surely losing business over that

Save the contact information for your cards and use the makers mark as a signature. If it's well designed and you work on your online presence, people will be able to find you that way. Remember, tagging your pictures here (and anywhere you post them online) with a likely search phrase is the most important step. Think about the person who finds your work somewhere and has no idea who made it. What are they going to search for? Since my logo is "HK", I come up with as many tags as possible to link my name with that logo. So far any searches just come up with Hong Kong leather, but I'm getting closer
