I know that each of us should sign our work, and it is obvious you can sign a painting appropriately, or a chair or sofa, on the bottom... with a pen, etc...I can attach a label to a petitpoint rug or stich my name into the gauze on the back side of the rug. I do keep a journal of my own projects.... Has anyone used typeset to create a maker's mark? How does one create a hallmark for silver or brass? My limited brass machining experience tells me that brass is relatively hard. Would I heat the metal in order to strike the base with my tiny typeset piece... Do you use an awl to sign y
