Wax Seal - Iteration I

I'm making a wax seal for my girlfriend as a gift!

We're exploring a few different iterations—one with "natural" ornamentation (this one), another with geometric forms, and a final with no ornamentation and just type.

For the natural ornamentation, I pulled from the visual language of William Morris, a 19th century craftsman. Morris designed beautifully and intricate wallpapers with leaves and flowers as subject matter.

Here is my initial stab at the wax seal (shown conceptually with color) using a modified version of Futura PT Book.
