Wax sealing has been around for decades. It involves heating up the wax and stamping an already engrained emblem or figure on top in order to seal a letter. I have always thought since I saw this the first time that it was an incredible way of communicating a personal message and a final statement. This technique has brilliant connotations of using your own personal symbol to seal the bounding envelope. The wax also leaves a really nice, smooth imperfect surrounding, around the perfectly hand made shape or symbol imprinted into it. It is such an old technique but just using that stamp, thrives passion of a graphical design representation.
With my graduation creeping up on me this stamp represents another stage in my life that I will hopefully have completed and put my personal mark of achievement on. This is not an end though, this is just the beginning of the next adventure!
