image quality for leather stamps?

[telwebb]

Hi - as an aside to the current thread on acquiring stamps for leatherwork, what kind of image/quality is needed to produce a half-decent stamp? Also any opinions on what works best in terms of lines or solids? I have an image in mind/on file that I'd love to use but haven't the skill to tidy it up in the way I'd like or I imagine that they would be able to work with.

Cheers

If you PM Kerne of this parish, he should be able to give the lowdown on what is needed.

We have had a chat. I'm trying to avoid just grabbing something off the net, or even stealing someone elses work, but as I'm no graphic artist I didn't want to waste the considerable time it will take me working on something that wont be suitable for use as a stamp.

Black and white, (your avatar is perfect), the bigger and cleaner the lines/edges the better. I can lend a hand if you need any help?

Thanks - it was something along those lines I was hoping to use, unfortnately thats someone elses work. I'll PM a link to what I was hoping to clean-up/adapt and would be grateful for your input.

What can I say ? Thanks to the very generous assistance of _mark_ I think we have it sorted - that sums up the 'community' bit that oft gets mentioned round here
All tidied and smoothed, and currently trialling as my avatar - what do you think?
