yes, each person has a web story.
i want to hear from others that have had
financial success.
and, if galleries are finding you.
( i work my website hard, and keep it current.)

thanks marie for your story.
we need more information, about real people, having
real success. and marie, how much did your site cost,
and how is it maintained. does the cost and return make
good sense for you. ??

stone chops made in china do not work very well
for stamping in clay. far too flat.
even the ones i had made in china on my recent
trip are not very good. and we asked for deep cuts
for clay...not.

the ones i had made in kyoto from wood are really
perfect...made for potters.

from the website, the `claystamps` look perfect.
deep and sharp angle. (thanks chris.)
if i did not have so many now on hand, i would
order one today.
the price is right too. about 50 bucks.
and that stamp will last your life time.

Hello everyone. This is my first posting. Please be kind to me.

I have some information regarding wooden stamps. There is a fellow at
Mother Earth Clay Art Center in Sunnyvale California. His name is Robert
Thomas. He can and will gladly make wonderful wooden stamps of any and all
designs. They are wonderful and I have purchased several from him. (Not
Cheap) If I have intrigued you, his phone numer is 408 245 6262 His cell:
650 575 5893 You can e mail him at: robert@mamasclay.org

My second issue is a query as to how can I find someone to help me with my
website. Years ago I paid a college girl to set one up for me. I am not
very computer literate. My college girl disappeard into life and I am
still holding onto a website that has work that has been sold long ago and
is not even regonizable to anyone as my "style" anymore. I need, at the
least someone who can train me to do it myself or someone who will do it
for me.
Thank you for your consideration

Marie's website is exceptionally well designed. No wonder it
is an effective marketing tool.

Hey Mel,

"Rogier Donker Me Fecit" = Latin for "Rogier Donkercreated me". All
of that in a 3/4" circular metal stamp that was made for me by a
print shop on an old fashioned typesetting machine thirty some years
ago. The letters are still sharp as a tack and are as readable today
as they were thirty years ago. My web site costs me about fourteen
dollars a month (Yahoo Pro Hosting) , is maintained for free by a
computer science teacher of a high school . His computer science
class students use my web site as a teaching tool, I just write the
copy and take the pictures which I then forward to the school. Most
of the time the web site just relays information but once in a while
it actually produces some sales. Like last year's ADGA commission...
Check THAT out on the web site! :-)

Rogier (always of good courage)

Roger if you transfer your web site over to godaddy.com you can get=20

who does watercolor paintings.
We signed her up for a domain name and two years of hosting on godaddy=20
yesterday for only $88.00 for two years.
The bandwidth at 250GB a month is plenty as is the 5 gigs of storage spac=
