Attempted pouring wax over an image and then stamping over it with a frame wax stamp. The transparent wax caused the image to shift, resulting in the image not being centered in the frame when the seal cooled down. Suggestions on method please?

When to blow out flame for Wicked wax stick?

Just had my first attempt at wax sealing and my wax stick turned black when melting? How do I avoid this?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, genuinely wanting to know. I appreciate any advice, thank you.

Got some amber colored wax (hot glue) and they came out so nicely. The color applies better than my normal wax too

Best wax beads and where to get them

What brand or type of wax beads do you all recommend? I got an assorted box from Michaels and they are good I think. But I am curious. I promise this is the last of me for a bit

sorted a mix bag! so satisfying

some ā€œauroraā€ beads in the sunflower shape! plus a bouquet, grad cap, and ā€œHappy Birthdayā€ impressions. the beads and stamps were purchased from the chinese jewelery site BeadPark, it was my first time buying from them and yeahhhh i might have splurged šŸ«£ but this was roughly 600pc for $9 (but shipping cost more too). i saw these exact beads for sale (100pc for $8) on strictlyrita.com if anyone wants to buy these from a US small business instead!!

Best places to buy wax seals?

I've bought two stamps off Amazon and one of them is just awful! It's a coated steel one that flakes pretty easily. I've seen tons of stamps and sealing kits online, but is there a specific site or store that everyone frequents?

[Edit] Right now, I'm searching for astrology/space themed stamps. Money also isn't a huge issue. Really just trying to find 2/3 stamps that speak to me.

Good place to buy stamps?

My partner got a wax seal set and she's having a hard time finding good selection/prices on stamps. Wondered if there's a good resource that's not obvious, checked Ebay, Etsy, Amazon. Thanks

A related topic.. anybody have a leather portfolio or case they love to keep good paper and paraphernalia in?

I know it is not specifically under the banner of wax seals, but I am searching long and hard to find a quality leather portfolio for my good writing paper, envelopes, and fountain pens. I am growing the habit of writing at least a couple letters each day. As an aside, I am just now beginning to learn how to seal those letters with wax, which seems unique and special.

How was this beautiful pattern beneath the bird done?

Was browsing someone's wedding stationery portfolio and found these beautiful wax seals! Does anyone know how the floral pattern on each of these was done? I can't wrap my head around it.

Fallout Vault Boy Seal!

The new Fallout show is pretty awesome and glad to see it is inspiring a Fallout resurgence! Found this great vid and stamp from the Shameless Princess! That pour and the theme colors are so nice!

My favourite part of wax sealing is watching the wax melt so I painted it :)

Varying Stamp Heads

Hello, Iā€™m a D&D DM and recently got into wax sealing as a way to give my players physical props in the game. I originally bought a pack of stamp heads with all the letters of the alphabet but I was left wanting more intrigue.

Does anyone have any tips on getting unique stamp heads without spending a fortune on them? I really am aiming for animal designs or signs of heraldry. Thanks!

Question, I see some people adding leaves small twigs or tree branches to a wax seal and then stamp it. What leaves /plant stems Would you recommend to use? whether it be fake plants or real?
