This is super cool- I think of paper and wax seals as intended to cover latches and straps to make tampering apparent, but if you lay them on top of the straps I suppose there would be big wrinkles, and then how do you enjoy those swell octagonal layouts? I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with a creative and appealing way to present my own stamps... Stamps in a vacuum just don't seem RIGHT- they beg to be stuck on something, and that requires a whole different kind of creative work. I think this is great though and I like that you found that sweet leather pouch to work with.
