Just fancied having a go at this!

I like that Rik, can I use it on my letter heads, looks very legal and business like

The emboss is too subtle and hard to read Rik. Can you bump the contrast a little?

Thanks Stygg. You're welcome to use it wherever you like.

I deliberately made the middle subtle.
But, who am I to argue with a master.
I shall try and emboss the middle a bit more.

OK master. Does this work a bit better?

Any and all comments and opinions are welcome.

I really like that Rik, and the second one is easier to read. I played around at one time with a gold seal similar to that.

Thanks Frances.

I did intentionally make the middle faint at the start but Gary said that it needed to be bolder.
And if you think it's better also, that will do for me.

Nicely done! For those who would like to dive into the technique, have a look at workbook 52, “an embossed notary seal”

very good Rik - I had no objection to the first myself

Bob's wax seal was a variation of Gary's 2003 workbook 11:
