    Question How do you sign your Sculptures?

    Im debating on how to go about signing my Sculptures and would appreciate some examples on what other sculptors do.
    I used to sign with an engraver, but I feel its too crued.
    Im swinging towards a metal brand on the base at the moment, but thats very....'unatural'.
    A stamp is another way.
    So...what do you do

    Could either of you (or others) please put a photo up of your signature?

    I just cant see myself being able to carve it with any resemblance of tidiness...I must admit, I only use the chisel when I have too, (prefer noisy power tools...) so fine work such as a signature may look very messy by me.....

    I felt the need to do something a little different...
    my initials are JWM, wanted something I could do "straight line" with a burning tool/paint brush/carving chisel/dremel/foredom, etc. Something that could be done in wood/metal/paint/plastic....you get the idea. The metal "branding iron" works great for wood, all else is left out, Ssssooooo
    the first two lines represent the "J", next 4 lines are the "W" last 4 lines are the "M", the W and the M share one leg each...and then the date..

    I was hoping to find more masonary workers marks as I've always liked the simplicity of the marks but couldn't find what I was after. Here's some other things I found which may light a little imagination in you.

    Thanks for that Springwater and mobjack. Ive comtemplated in the past using a symbol as a signature...but I keep getting drawn back to a signature...but maybe a symbol combines with my initials as mobjack has done could work...will try a few out.
    Underfoot what do you do?....any possibility of a photo of your signature on your work?
