Custom Wax Seals

Hello all!

So I decided to  try something a little different today.

I have been fascinated by wax seals, but I never been able to find one I liked. So I decided to make my own!!

I found several stamps from Graphic 45 that I liked, and thought would work well.

I carefully pressed the stamps into the clay, and then made a handle for the large one (the whole image was used on purpose, but I only used a section of it to show the finished product) and rolled the excess clay into a shape I could hold with the other.

I baked the clay according to the directions  (I used the Sculpey brand in white from Hobby Lobby). 

I let them cool, and used them with sealing wax.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fear that my art wouldn't hold up to what I had seen created with them, fear that I wouldn't be able to handle the learning curve of oil pastels, fear that I wasn't good enough. What it boils down to is fear of myself and fear of failure more so then the art supply itself. Basically what I’...
