Part 2 Charm Factory Metal Clay Stamp Product Test and Review by York Avenue Studio

Update for Feb 3rd:

I've been selected as a tester for a new product by The Charm Factory.  After I was contacted, we exchanged ideas on my logo design for the stamp.  The stamp is about the size of a thumbnail, 1/2 inch circle.  My logo is a little too complex to be that tiny, so I suggested a simple street sign with "York Ave".  Here is my logo and a preview of this idea:


















I was pleased, but not completely thrilled that the stamp for my jewelry would be so simple and plain.  It was a wonderful stamp and I would use it, but I wished there was more detail.  Well, I am thrilled with what happened next! 

Here is what the stamp would look like in metal clay:

I drew a smaller version of my logo and played with the words and the picture and came up with an idea with more detail, but not so much that it wouldn't be recognizable as a stamp.  I sent the sketch to the Charm Factory for their input.

The Charm Factory responded very quickly with the following version of my logo sketch, which is the final design for my new stamp!  I am so thrilled with how professional the design looks and how wonderful the Charm Factory is to work with.  They truly put such effort into making my stamp look like MY stamp!

I will be posting the testing adventure on my blog as soon as the stamp arrives!  Stay tuned, and here is some detail on these amazing stamp tools.  Visit the Charm Factory website at http://www.charmfactory.com/signature-stamps.aspx

  2. This is great to know about. I really need something like this to stamp the fine silver pendants that I make. I need to think about a simplified logo design. Thanks for sharing this!
