New Release

Ancient Chinese Mood Seal Collections

It is an ancient Chinese art form to carve Chinese characters on various materials such as jade, ivory, and stone. This art form has a history dating back to 2700 years ago. As the years passed, it has become a popular art form among artists, calligraphers, and craftsmen. These artists not only carved their names on the seals, but they would also carve seals with poems to express their thoughts and feelings. The artists would then stamp these seals onto paintings and calligraphies as finishing touches. Some people call these particular seals “Mood Seals. You may click the link on left to read more about these Mood Seals.

The collections of 40 stamps Seesaw Graphics released came from famous ancient artists of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. These mood seals range from about 100 to 600 years of age. In order to retain their aged looks, we did as little touch-up as possible. Just as they functioned as complements to paintings and calligraphies in times past, they will serve as an excellent complement to scrapbook pages and handmade cards as well.

 

We individually wrapped each mood seal stamp with a booklet, which includes a general history of Chinese seals, its translation and our suggestions of usage.

 


 Stamp Artists Wanted

 

We are expanding our Idea Gallery now and looking for handmade cards and scrapbook pages. You are welcome to submit your artworks, including at least one seesaw Graphics stamp per artwork, for considerations. Every artwork chosen will receive a free stamp.

 

Please visit our studio site for more information. Thank you.

 


A Big Thank You

Dear customers,

I first laid eyes on ancient Chinese seals when I was a teenager, 20 years ago. I have carved many personal seals and used them to stamp onto my books and drawings while in college. Back then, I wouldn't image that one day I would open a studio and reproduce these fabulous ancient Chinese Mood Seal stamps. Time does fly but I learned that something stay forever. You are definitely one of those “things”. 

You are one of those awesome persons that helped me achieving my dreams along my naïve business adventure. This fact won’t change no matter what future holds. No matter if you will stay with us or not in the future. I appreciate that I had a chance of meeting you via my stamps very much! A big thank you to all of you.

Best Regards,

Shao Wang
