I wanted to create something small that still carried the feeling of an artwork. Something between a painting, a charm, and a memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s how my wax seal stickers began. I started working with wax and I was fascinated by the way it captured light and created depth, almost like glass, but softer and more magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I printed fragments of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.susanisaac.com\/en\/product\/wax-seal-stickers\/\">my original paintings<\/a> and sealed them under crystal clear wax. Suddenly, the tiny images felt alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make them even more special, I coloured the wax with golden alcohol ink. The gold softly surrounds the artwork and creates a glowing frame effect around the printed image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shape itself comes from vintage metal sealing stamps shaped like ornamental frames. Instead of covering the artwork completely, the frame remains visible around the image, almost like a miniature antique painting protected under glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I loved the contrast between the old-world feeling of wax seals and the contemporary details from my paintings. It felt like mixing nostalgia with tiny pieces of modern storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These stickers are not just decorations to me.<br>They are miniature artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each one carries fragments of my paintings, my love for gold details, texture, symbolism, and the feeling of discovering a forgotten treasure inside an old drawer or a hidden letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes people ask me how the wax stays transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is simple: there are different types of wax, and I use a special crystal-clear wax that allows the artwork underneath to remain visible while still creating that dimensional glossy effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, the process feels a little like preserving tiny worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small painting.<br>A touch of gold.<br>A vintage frame.<br>A transparent layer of wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly, it becomes something you can hold onto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the magic I wanted to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-susan-isaac wp-block-embed-susan-isaac\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"48H5QSOSoL\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.susanisaac.com\/en\/product\/wax-seal-stickers\/\">Handmade 3D Wax Seal Sticker Sheet \u2013 Egyptian Dolls<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Handmade 3D Wax Seal Sticker Sheet \u2013 Egyptian Dolls&#8221; &#8212; Susan Isaac\" src=\"https:\/\/www.susanisaac.com\/en\/product\/wax-seal-stickers\/embed\/#?secret=xd7fsebGmb#?secret=48H5QSOSoL\" data-secret=\"48H5QSOSoL\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some ideas arrive quietly.
