Imma make a wax seal and use it on the most mundane things, like my water bill.
I am very proud to be an early supporter of the Gorey Kickstarter. I’ve been planning on visiting his house in Cape Cod for a while.

OMEGs, the terraria!!
Am loving gender-swapped Esmerelda & Hades! Also, why is Maleficent a stripper…?
Oooh, looking forward to the Gorey thing! I first became a fan because my mother was a fan of Mystery! on PBS. Now, of course, I regularly attend the Edwardian Ball, so…yeah, a fan.
I love the wax seal from buttons idea, but I really doubt the feasibility of it. Most buttons—even metal ones—are rounded and that just won’t work for wax seals. They really need to be flat. I do, however, really love the idea of using an old chess piece to make it. (Also, I’m judging the person who made that tutorial for the quality of the wax used in that last photo. ::shudder::)
Ahahaha, poor Harold.
Oh man, those vacuum-sealed cuts of plushie.
