When I lived in Springfield Missouri, there was a shop that made custom stamps. I took in my design and they made me a small and a larger chop from that.. I use them in my artwork. Love this video.
What perfect timing which makes me realize I need to go ahead and get one of these. I was just looking at these on E Bay, the other day and thinking how beautiful they were but wasn't sure if it was something I could really use so..... while you were talking about it and how to make it yours I designed mine with my first and middle initial and I love it and as soon as I get my sumi e ink stick I'll have the perfect ink to use for my stamp. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you! I have had a blank chop for 15 years and thought I had to have someone carve it for me. I had no idea it was soapstone and that I could do it myself! Also, I LOVE your celtic design seal, that is really gorgeous and probably looks amazing in wax. Thanks again! Marina.
Thank you so much for this video. I am looking forward to making my own chop and using it. I am enjoying your RUclips videos and look forward to seeing them. Thank you for your time and sharing.
I have been using a symbol that incorporates my initials, for a few years now. It took many years of various signatures for me to distil it down to its present form. I have thought about making a chop for it, but have decided that I like to actually draw it onto my creations. The idea of using an actual chop for some of the things I create is very appealing. I need to re-consider my choice of “drawing” my symbol. Thank-you for your wonderful video. I am now a new subscriber - 😊 👵🏻💕🐾🇨🇦
Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to find my own way to sign my art and I love the chop idea. I really appreciate your encouragement in that it can be a symbol too, not necessarily your initials. I'm going to take time to develop my own mark.
You might not see this, but about using a wax seal with ink, I’d say be careful because some inks and some metals react to each other. Just check that nothing in the ink will corrode or rust the seal.

I love that! I like it so much better than a signature, for me personally. :)

Thank you so much!
What a lovely alternative to a signature. Your explanation has been very helpful Thank you :)
Purplesunflower99 I am so glad you found it helpful! ❤️
Thank you, Kateri! Very helpful. It will be fun to find my " mark". ❤
Margaret bergen I’m looking forward to seeing it, Margaret :)
Interesting idea. Nice alternative to a signature.
❤️
Found your video for the same reason, not wanting to hand sign my work.
Appreciate the information,
Thank you, I love this!
So much fun... and useful!

Leah ❤️ I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Please be sure to share it with me!
Thank you very much I really enjoyed watching and do intend to try and make my own chop.
Excellent!
Great inspiration! Thank you for sharing
You are welcome :)
Thanks. I had no idea soapstone was that easy to work. Or that an everyday implement could be used as a tool.
Well... I used what I had. I am positive there are better ways! :)
Great idea!

My project today!
Janet Scanlon I cannot wait see!
Thank you. I've been thinking about the signature issue lately and wondering about alternatives.
Burgess Taylor I hope you find a way to make it your own. 💗
What does CHOP stand for? I know what it is but is there a word for each letter in CHOP? Very curious? Thanks
No idea. I googled it:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(East_Asia)

thank! very clear. gentle voice too!
How would you use this on oil paintings? Put paint on the back and stamp it?
Hmm. I really don’t know about oil paint. Maybe ask an oil painter? Or just try it?
I love your ideas but I'm too old to see your miniscule examples. Maybe next time you could make them larger? Thank you so much and create on!!!
Ha! I will try :) I paint small!
Oh your a lefty.
All my life! 😂❤️
