  I sell Rubber stamps in my Etsy Store. The above two stamps have been named Spiral Swirls from the manufacturer. Same design....different layering of design.   The stamp on the left is a Fineline stamp and it produces a design ON TOP  of the clay.   Photo on the right  is the same design, different depth in layering and produces an image INTO the clay.  The depths of layering may also vary within the stamp....this is not a defect....it is done on purpose to create the intricacy and delicate patterns that the artists who use them love.   There is a big difference in the craft stamps and artist stamps...and takes a little practice and getting used to.     Taking a photo of the fineline stamps is hard as you can see when a photo is taken of  the fineline and regular cut side by side.  I find that in order for a potential buyer to see the design to have an idea of how it will "print" for them I am have to rely on taking a close up.  I have had a couple of inexperienced players

   A few years ago I began collecting these adorable pieces.  They are all named on the bottom. My first one was Diana.... and since that one I have been able to add some more.  I always keep my eye open when I am thrifting...where all of these were purchased.  I just added my fourth one this week...and I paid $4.99 for it.  When I go thrifting I set a $ max on the days visit and on what I purchase...    One reminds me of a dear friend I lost about 6 years ago.  I don't keep track because I don't want to know. One of the other ones reminds me of another friend....and so on.  They sit inside a built in windowed cabinet in my kitchen and I look at them and check in often.   I love that each one of them is TOTALLY different from the other in just about every way possible...
