Something spooky this way comes! I recently launched these skeleton wax seals on my Etsy shop. It’s never too early to think about sending Halloween cards! #waxseal

Four wax seals, each in a different color. Each wax seal has an image of a skeleton doing the dab dance move.

I’m taking my postcards on a quick photo shoot before getting them varnished and packaged for sale! D20 postcards are already up on my Etsy shop, and some others will be coming hopefully this week. #linocut #artist #postcards #postcrossing #snailmail

Two linocut postcards of a D20. One is in yellow ink and one is in red.

Winter may be coming, but floral wax seals are forever! Get a few for your letters! #waxseals #art

a pile of 25 wax seals in various colors with different flower designs

Do you like connecting to others via snail mail? Maybe check out some of my wax seals in my shop ;-).

#waxseal #snailmail

Ten wax seals, each featuring a bee. The seals are in various different colors.

I launched my Etsy shop because I believe in the power of snail mail. Having penpals and participating in card swaps has helped keep me sane while I am housebound from my disability. Connect with a loved one with cards and wax seals from my shop. 💕
#snailmail

Six wax seals spilling from a hand. The seals are in various colors and feature various designs, including dragons, a compass, and a d20.

Three Linocut cards in purple, green, and black ink. Each features two cabbages and text that reads “my cabbages!”

This is what it looks like when I take inventory of my wax seals before a craft fair 😆. Less than a month to go! #crafting #craftfair #waxseal

A hundred or so wax seals spread over a wooden desk

Elise • White Bear Designs @whitebear743.bsky.social · Sep 18

Do you think wax seals are cool, but you don’t send letters or cards? I now have magnets in my shop! #waxseal

Five wax seal magnets with designs of dragons, a kraken, a compass, and a d20

Have you checked out my cabbages cards yet? They just launched last week in my shop. I’m sure you have someone in your life who gets this reference 😉

I am in love with this new lino print! The orange is a little too bright, so I need to buy some new ink, but the design itself came out so clean and perfect! #linocut
