Hi Aysha, thanks for the thoughtful comments. I bought my stamp from a local stamp maker here close to San Diego called RubberStampChamp.com they provide a variety of stamps with water bases. They also have skin safe inks for other applications. The steps for redesigning my jewelry started with laying out the original designs on the table and taking a very harsh objective approach to criticizing the size, shape, color and materials used. I ended up deciding to re-design everything at about 1/4 the original dimensions. I then looked up glues that had a very low VOC rating or none at all and that complied with non-toxic standards under ASTM D-4236. Then I started cutting and experimenting with sizes, materials, etc… until it looked right. Good luck with your creative pursuits, hope this helps!
