Sealing wax

I have  a new obsession.

It started with invitations and has warped into a beast that cannot be controlled.

Wax seals.  You know, the old fashioned way to close a letter.

I can't stop.  I'm making them every day.  I dream at night new ways to incorporate them into my life.  My fingers twitch to buy more of the colorful wax.  (They make it in a gamut of colors, you know.)  Somehow, I have suppressed the urge to buy more seals, specifically customizing my own seals.  I will not buy them, I will not buy them, I will not buy them...

Part of the reason I enjoy sealing so much might have to do with my pyromaniac tendencies.  I do enjoy using the fire.  However, it is important to keep in mind that dripping wax is hot.

Welcome to the world of burns
