Sometimes, I like to push my limit by carving blog addresses in other font than Arial (Arial 11 is by far the tiniest font for me to carve btw). sometimes I even try to go beyond size 11 and also other font type. The problem (for me at least, other carver may be better carvers!) is, tiny fine font on a positive stamp may be quite flimsy.. the carvings may fall off in a short time. On a negative stamp pulak, there may collect dusts and block the text on the stamp, not giving you the accurate print. Fine text is also not advisable if we are to print on textured paper and fabric. So, what do I do? Learn from my mistakes and advice my customer better. For example, look at the photos below:

and... after another attempt but this time with a positive stamp, the print on fabric looks promising :) Check it out below
Nope, I did not start a totally new stamp. Just carved the blog address. I cut the previous blog address away (still can be mounted and used on paper). Now only need to ask the owner whether she wants a combined mounted stamp or separated stamps.
The bigger font above the blog address is my own handwriting in calligraphy pen. Not a downloaded font :)
