Hourglass Stamp

Recommended Posts

I picked up a couple sizes of hourglass stamps at the Wichita Boot and Saddle Show. I marked the two horizontal lines, but just eyeballed the spacing. It's not too bad, but it could certainly be more even. I'm curious if anyone goes to the effort to mark the spacing. I appreciate any suggestions for creatively using this stamp. Thanks,

Randy

I always mark my first side with my wing dividers but eyeball the second so that I can make adjustments better. It just seems to work better for me that way. Especially on curves.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to practice a little more this weekend. Maybe I should start a project to use it.

Same way I do it.

Hi

I trial and error the distance between the two lines of stamping on the cut off end of a belt.  When I get a spacing I want, I make the lines and start stamping.  I find it helpful to start on the inside of the project instead of the outside.

Later
