Written Correspondence- Wax Sealing
I was writing a thank you note last night and when I was finished with the note, I was extremely satisfied with the end product and the experience of writing it. Although I don't do it as much as I should, I have always enjoyed writing notes to friends and family.
I try to integrate some nice touches into writing and personalizing my notes, and I always like to finish it off by using sealing wax on the envelope with a stamp that has my initials on it.
Then, the thought occurred to me as to whether anyone else chooses to do this. I know that in the day and age of self sealing envelopes a wax seal has little value, but I think that it adds a level of sophistication that makes receiving the letter even more special.
So, what are your thoughts on wax sealing?

I plan on purchasing a custom made seal, from Nostalgic Impressions, with my family crest. It will come in handy for sending out wedding invitations, and thank you notes in the next few months. Any recomendations on wax?

Well, I was against it, but now I'm nearly converted.

If you are in fact converted to seals and sealing-wax, it may be helpful to know that you may carve your own seals from soapstone- it is quite easy to do, and is also rewarding.

Interesting. I have 14 soapstone pawns on which to practice.

The base of a soapstone chess pawn would make an ideal seal, sir- and such a carving would not interfere with its continued use as a pawn...

Does anyone have any recommendations of good places to purchase quality seals? I've done google searches and come up with several options, but some of which I don't really like the fonts they offer, and about none of which do I know their reputations for quality. Any ideas here?

This site www.ghh.com/glf has some interesting ideas for ways to fold letters in different ways.
I was advised by one who knows more about this than I that Atelier Gargoyle wax holds up well in the mail.

And here I was just going to start a post! I'm thinking about getting into it. Manly because it's old fashioned.
