Personally, I've found decals to be a bit fragile over time. If I'm going to put anything like that on my work I prefer a paper label. I draw, or copy and cut & paste, until I get a design near what I want, then pencil in changes, and finalize with ink, whiting out as wanted. Then I go to a copy machine, enlarge, or delarge, the design, as many copies as I want. If I'm planning on more later, I save the "master". Color if desired (or before and use a color copier), cut out, glue on. I use thinned glue, and soak the paper. Works very nicely indeed. That's what I use for any "extra" I want to put on. For info on who made the piece, I glue a business card inside, out of normal sight, with the date penned on.
JOAT To assume is to make an enemy of exactitude.
