These were my attempts yesterday, using new seals that arrived in the mail The one in the middle was a melted down sample I received from a wax seller. It was hot pink, lavender, and sky blue. The seal was impossible to see.

The top two were initial attempts at using dried flowers. My best attempt is on its way in the mail to a friend.

I really like the leaf stamp and look forward to using it in all seasons with different colored leaves. I ordered some acrylic markers that should arrive today. I'm curious to see how they will work on the sunflower.

I have a couple of questions about reusing wax.

  1. Can you remelt wax too much? Does it lose anything in the process?
  2. Can I remelt seals I've put pigment powders or acrylic paint on? I'm assuming yes for the pigment powders. I think I've seen that some of you have colored your melted wax with pigment.
  3. I have another sample seal from a seller. It was glued on so that I can't get the paper completely off the back. If I tried to melt that seal, do you think that paper would either float to the top so I could pull it out, or stick to the melting spoon?

Thank you for all of the ways you have helped me with this new (to me) craft. I am having fun playing.
