Very glad to have purchased this item. In the past, we've always had to use a pointed stick-style implement to "write" anything in stepping stones. These stamps created a much more professional finished look, and were extremely easy to use and clean. Note than only upper-case letters (and numbers) are included. Make sure to follow the directions for mixing your substrate it needs to be fairly solid/dry to hold a clear, crisp shape of the letter imprint without filling back in on itself. Done well, however, you'll have a look that you'll appreciate for many, many years.

I use the stamps for lettering on pavers and hand made tiles. The Victorian style is elegant and makes great looking artwork. The letters are made of sturdy plastic that creates neat and deep impressions into the clay or cement mix. Each letter stamp is set on a 1 square inch flat base that allows to space letters evenly, to keep them straight, and to prevent uneven depth of impression. The only negative is that there are two letters (or numbers) on each stamp (one on each side); therefore, the letter being stamped cannot be seen (or identified), because a completely different letter appears on the reverse, which creates many risks of irreparable errors. As an example, I can mention that recently, I had to create for a customer a plaque containing four lines of writing, with a total of 48 letters. Even with two sets of stamps, it was extremely difficult for me to complete the stamping without making mistakes. I wish the manufacturer would create sets that have the complete alphabet and numbers on individual stamps. This would not be costly as the letters are made of plastic. And it would make the life of artists much easier! If it was not for that frustrating feature, I would have given the product five stars.
