I just ordered the owl stamp - how incredible - $3.99 for an intricately detailed stamp that leaves such a beautifully crisp impression. Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this.

I'm glad you found an owl. I take it that's your emblem/totem/device since it's in your avatar too. :thumbup: Using the Tandy leather stamps as seals opens up a lot of affordable options.

After shopping around online for leather stamps I feel like you can get some better options with leather stamps that you can't get with the mass produced wax seals.

I agree. Any pictures?

After they arrive. I find that a lot of the mass produced items are small or a little feminine. Its a good way to get more masculine designs.

Physicsgirl came up with a great way to get wonderful wax seals inexpensively so I wanted to get the word out. (Thank you Physicsgirl!) Leather stamps make great wax seals. Tandy Leather (click here for Tandy link) is once source for these although there may be others. Here's my favorite seal so far. I put a wood handle from the craft store on it which cost an extra 70¢. The metal handles that Tandy sells don't seem to fit very tightly so I don't recommend them.

 

 

 

P.S. - Goulet Pens carries Herbin Supple sealing wax one of the waxes that can go through the mail.

 

Thanks so much for sharing!

When my wax sealing reaches the point of not being very good, I'll know I have improved! LOL Mine are AWFUL. I plan to practice a lot after all this moving is behind me. I wasn't aware of swirling ... tell me more about this, please.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
