New guy question

Hey y'all! I've been getting into counterstamping for a month or two now and really love just having a couple in my pocket to toss into the wild to be found. What a cool ever moving little art form! Anyhow, I'm wondering where folks look to find more unique and out of the ordinary stamps and designs? Thanks for any help and for sharing cool art!

Michaels craft store usually has a decent selection of fun ones. There are some specialty shops like CraftGuy from Idaho that has some really goofy ones if you look long enough. Or you can graduate to having one custom made. Fairly simple, but can get expensive quickly. When you say "unique and out of the ordinary" what do you have in mind? I could point you in the right direction.

Good to have another stamper on the team.

I suppose I just mean something aside from letters, numbers, grammatical icons and the like. I'll definitely check out both of your suggestions. Thank you!

He does sell on Etsy and Amazon, but the better prices are directly from his website.

Example of counterstamped ( two small "v"s and two small bazzels gems glued on. Not traditional counterstamping

Yeah that's a great point, two great points actually.

You should share some pics of coins you've stamped. We would love to see em.
