A book stamp I created using my previous Hic Sunt Leonesbgraphic. It was tricky because the final stamp was only about 1.5 inches and the image had to be readable at that size as well as stampable (this was an impressed stamp, not the ink kind).

Written in Etruscan alphabet: "sunny days-summer rains-prosperity-happiness-health-small things over great-power over our own fate" We conducted a proper summer solstice BBQ atop it at noon (facing south, of course) and then at midnight, we danced semi-clothed around it, singing along to Oingo Boingo's "Water." As far as the magic goes, our house burned down that year, so I would take that as a clear sign that it was UNSUCCESSFUL.
A book stamp designed for my S.O., based on the weighty latin phrase from The Name Of the Rose; Umberto Eco being his favorite author. The lion is taken from the Etruscan chimera statue.
