my new old school stationery

So, I finally decided to take my work as a freelancer seriously, and for this reason, decided that I needed company stationery.

I was going to design headed paper and all that, but then I thought I wanted something a bit different. So I opted to design a wax seal commemorating the inaugural year 2007 for Dead Insect, to use on letters, invoices and estimates.

I got it made at http://www.citycoseals.co.uk/ , just down the road in Hackney. It cost about 25 pounds, the guy hand carved it beautifully. Highly recommended.



Basically, it's brilliant. very indulgent, and very fiddly, and initially you tear all the paper trying to use it. Once I got the hang of it though, it rocked. The smell and texture of sealing wax is beautiful.


you can even see the url perfectly. the whole things is 25mm (one inch) across

I am so obsessed with using it, that I want to send all of you postcards or letters.

Write me with your address, or leave it in the comments, and I will, as soon as I can be bothered, send you a letter or a Moo Postcard (I got a load of these made as Xmas cards, then forgot to send them...!) with a wax seal on it.
