Now Available: Sealing Wax

We’ve just taken delivery on a large order of sealing wax.  Atelier Gargoyle is widely regarded as the highest quality wax available, made in the USA by Linnea and Ward in San Francisco.  It’s much tougher than traditional sealing wax, made to survive the modern automatic postal system – I usually find it easier to rip the envelope than break the seal.  The full range of colors will be available at ICON, Marcy 30-April 1 at SUNY Stonybrook (www.iconsf.org) or submit an order through our Contact page.

EDIT: See the Wax Page for pricing information.

Friday 5:30-10
Saturday 10-7
Sunday 10-5

ICON is a science fiction, science fact, fantasy, and gaming convention coming to SUNY Stonybrook March 30-April 1. There will be board, role playing, and live action games, panel discussions, movie viewings, parties and more, see full details at their website.

They have a massive dealer room every year with an assortment of geek and alternative culture merchandise that is tough to find anywhere else.  Think Renaissance Faire market, plus fan collectables, reproduction movie props, working model rockets, obscure books, scifi/fantasy artwork, anime, manga, handmade jewelry, and more, plus of course, yours truly.

This will be the first time Lightbringer Designs is available in person for you to handle our products and buy right away, along with the sealing wax you will need, courtesy of Atellier Gargoyle in San Francisco.

Long Island Pen Show

We’ve just learned of the dates for the Long Island Pen Show at the last minute – March 10-11 at Hofstra University.  This was an excellent show last year, with anything you could want in terms of pens, ink, and all things fine writing.  This was when Harry first got turned on to the idea of wax seals after a demonstration by Ian K.

Harry will be there Saturday – look for the logo on the case he’ll be carrying around.  Our first round of prototypes has just come in this week, so we’ll be able to demonstrate those.
