Letter sealing stamp designs
I want to make a metal stamp for sealing letters with wax. It's always excellent in movies when a character seals a letter with their signet ring. I have been using coins for now, but the level of detail captured is amazing! I designed an emblem of my initials on tracing paper, then repeatedly transferred and ornamented it. I started off with simple scrolls, then tried more natural-looking acanthus leaves, then settled for a balance of the two. I will probably try to 3D model a relief of the design in Blender, then get it CNC'd into aluminium. But I would love instead to make a clay version, then somehow shrink and engrave the design into brass!
