FIREFLY Planetary Postmark Stamps

I’ve had several Browncoats ask me where I get my planetary postmarks, which are stamped on the gift boxes I send out with FIREFLY-SERENITY items. I have to give credit to Heather at Wear With Style for giving me the idea — she ships her hand-knitted Jayne hats in boxes covered with planetary postmarks. I designed my own set of postmarks using GIMP, and then I had the stamps made at RubberStamps.net. If you’d like to make rubber stamps of your own, feel free to use my images. I only ask that you not use them for commercial purposes or sell them, and that you give me credit for the artwork. Thanks!

Also, I have an “Alliance Inspector” stamp that was made by using a template at RubberStamps.net for a small, round, self-inking stamp. And I chose the purple ink option… since they’re “purplebellies.” The Chinese characters on the Sihnon postmark supposedly say “Beautiful World” — but for all I know, they actually say “Monkey Underwear” or something.

    There isn’t anything in the characters about a particular location or world - my limited Chinese has it meaning something like “extremely perfect and beautiful.” Which also works!

    Sihnon is supposedly a very beautiful world, so that does work, I think. At least it doesn’t say something utterly ridiculous. Good to know!
