[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 680043, member: 8184"]In looking at the signatures of a whole lot of cameos, I've noticed three basic means of affixing a signature to shell. I like to call them: Scratch, Solvent, and Sharpie (not saying it's actually, "Sharpie", silly) Examples provided below. I'm not wondering so much about the actual methods ("what kind of solvent?"), but whether the means of signing signifies any important information -- such as age, origin of training ("only Thermian-schooled use Sharpie!"), etc. I'm asking, because in my head, I realized I was dismissing Solvent and Sharpie as "new" and now I'm not 100% certain that is accurate.
