Wax Seals -Shamrock & Y


Got my initial Y yesterday and so had to try it out... and I love playing with my 4 leaf clover. I like playing with multiple colors but it is fussy and time consuming... and I love playing with the mixes of melted wax. I just throw all my scraps into a pile and melt. Especially in the clover. That bottom one has red, green, gold, bronze, white and a touch of blue.

working with that large postage stamp mold is not easy... round is a lot easier to get wax all around without getting a big bulge in areas or not getting into all the edges. Will find a way to make it easier eventually...

Wax Seal - Maple Leaf in Stamp Mold

I used my electric wax warmer along with my 2 candle burners since I was working with a bunch of colors at the same time... I'm not that happy with the red splotch - but c'est la vie.

So I melted 3 colors and poured a little of each in a tight area to create the maple leaf. Cleaned of the excess and then fussy cut some areas. Poured the white onto my mat and pressed the leaf into that. Fussy cut around the circle. Then mixed gold and a bronze and poured that into my silicone stamp mold.

Size card: 5"w x 7"h
I wrote out the quote using a Zebra nib and 3 colors of Kuretake Gem Colors set in a Dot Alphabet. Adhered the seal to the paper with an adhesive circle then adhered it to a rusty brown card base.
words: Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree. Emily Bronte.
