For International Day of Persons With Disabilities & #ArtAdventCalendar Day 3, this is my design for the Disability Pride Flag as a wax seal.
Since getting 6 different colors of wax in the right places would be ridiculous even for me, I use different texture patterns, similar to how I made...
The Disability Pride Flag, rendered with texture patterns instead of colors. It's a wide rectangle with 5 diagonal stripes from top-left to bottom-right The same Disability Pride Flag, viewed from an angle to better appreciate the 3D textures Rendering of the stamp that will make the Disability Pride Flag wax seal previously shown. The top of the handle has the same design to help avoid setting it upside down.

The Scales of Justice wax seal makes a great gift for a lawyer!
It's also the Zodiac symbol for Libra.
This one is my all-time best seller.

Photo of a Scales of Justice wax seal in yellow wax, and the 3D printed stamp that makes it. The vertical support & bowls have a rounded 3D effect & the balance bar sticks up farther than the other details. The stamp also has the same design on top of the handle so it's easier to set straight.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1:
The Snowflake.
Great for holiday cards to those who might not celebrate Christmas, I use 3D printing to make the branches at angles so that different parts will shine brighter depending on the angle you see it from & where the light is.
Photo of a snowflake wax seal in white wax, with branches angled differently so they change brightness with your perspective relative to the light, and the 3D printed stamp that makes it. The stamp also has the same design on top of the handle so it's easier to set straight.

I've read that stockings hung on the fireplace were there to dry hallucinagenic 🍄 to consume on the Solstice, & the red & white theme of Santa Claus comes from the colors of those mushrooms lol.
Photo of a wax seal in red wax, the design is a Christmas stocking with a Christmas tree in the side & candy cane hanging out the top. Also the seal that makes it, with the same design on top of the handle.

How about referring them doing the opposite as Vice Signaling?

Really they're projecting their own guilt; if you talk a big game about Liberation, but don't mask up in public spaces, that inaction betrays how little inconvenience they think our lives are worth!

For #DisabilityPride Day, the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, here is my seal design #300; the #DisabilityPrideFlag!
Like on my LGBTQ+ Pride Flag design, I used texture patterns in lieu of colors.
Preorder now on my Etsy store!

Nice snug fit for all the parts on the supply side of my version of a #DentalMask!

Duct tape is like The Force - it has a light side, a dark side, & it holds the universe together!
Carry 3' of it in your wallet with this emergency roll & you'll always be prepared to Fix Stuff.

An emergency supply of duct tape, folded down to wallet-size. Photo includes a credit card & $20 bill for scale, & the parent roll of 3M brand tape. Close up of the tape to show that the roll is a bit smaller than a credit card, so it will fit in a wallet slot. Closer up of the tape roll to show it's small enough to hide inside a folded cash bill, so you could hide it inside a billfold.

I'm living on savings that are dwindling fast; capitalists have no interest in a man who will need to sick-out more than almost-never, so I need your support.
I help out whoever I can within the limit of my skills & 🥄s, & hope for enough 💰 to item my head above water.

While I'm not the bragging type, it's necessary here to explain what you're supporting by buying me a cuppa, subscribing would be 💯. I helped a comrade with a car issue this weekend; she's disabled, the car is in rough shape, needed a jump start to move it, messy situation beyond my business to share details. Probably took half an hour with another friend, & tools I always have in the trunk. Before that, I helped my church break down pallets damaged by a fallen tree (long story). I can't afford to give them 💵, but I'm glad to volunteer my skills & tools. I do a lot more things like this than I remember to share here, it's a lifetime habit, going back to the Boy Scouts. Now, though, I need your 💰 to keep that car running & a roof over my head so that I'm able to help others.

Added my #LongCovidAwareness seal to the filter on my respirator for 1500 on the 15th!
This fits over a 3M filter #7093, P100 rated (that's even better than N95).

We use a blue ribbon, or a gold infinity symbol - because the chemical symbol for gold is Au.
My Infinity seal has 7 stripes of different texture patterns because a rainbow-colored infinity is used for Neurodiversity Acceptance more broadly. ⬇️

5-star reviews are wonderful, but you really know your doing something right when customers keep coming back for more!
Big thanks to a very special customer for their 5th XL order - that's 45 sticks of #SealingWax in 9 colors; over twice as much as their previous order.

To make your own Companion Cube, print both of these at the same size on opposite sides of card stock so they line up & cut on the lines with an Xacto knife.
The red side is bigger than the pattern side so alignment doesn't need to be perfect.

This was by far the most difficult seal I've ever made - these are the rejects.
Melting 3 colors together is always tough to do well, even more so when one is black so it's much harder to photograph.
But the most annoying part is that I don't have teal #SealingWax - I had to make it!
The seal from the first photo, surrounded by 6 more seals in the same colors & stamp, but with different patterns of the color mixing, & some are very lopsided.

Very easy to use, just peel & stick, press hard for ~15 seconds. Safe to mail!
