It began with getting into dip pen calligraphy, lead to custom font design, and branched off into wax seal stamps... (one thing always leads to another!).
I wanted a wax seal stamp that could be easily carried around without getting lost. So that meant it had to be worn, but I'm not much into bulky rings. So that meant a necklace. After diddling around with a few concepts, I settled on a "parthenon" look (which to my knowledge is a novelty) because I felt like it gave me everything I wanted:
-works great as a necklace
-looks just as good as a small desk ornament
-small form factor, but plenty of room to grab the top without fingers getting near the wax
-top provides the perfect space to have the "positive" image of the stamp at full 1:1 size, so you know exactly what the stamp looks like, and at which orientation (a common complaint for traditional seal stamps)
I hope you like them (I certainly do!).
