[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 85672, member: 360"]According to my research, the fobs are called medal fobs or fob-medals, due to the shape. And yes, Chinese soapstone seals have been around for ages. You can see why - they're very easy to make. I modified my seal a BIT. I carved the grooves deeper and added serifs, or tails, to the C, to make it easier to read. This is the final result: [IMG]https://scontent-hkg3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/t31.0-8/12109832_1656187154639764_630527482953080551_o.jpg[/IMG] I carved all the fine details with a sewing-machine needle. Now, it should give a good, clear impression when I use it to seal my letters![/QUOTE]
