I have never been 'into' stamps.
Occasionally I might admire them, but I have never kept any, or started a collection.
Ella and I saw some vintage framed stamp collages at 'My Aunt's Travels' which I fell in love with.
They seemed to be 'decoupaged' before framing.
They looked fantastic.
We then stumbled across a packet of used stamps in a shop for $2.50 which got me thinkin we could have a go at a 'stamp collage'.
Here is the result:
There are no decoupage skills here, so we just popped it through the ol' faithful laminator, which did a wonderful job of looking like some 'decoupage' action had taken place.
I have developed a better 'appreciation' of our stamps.
They are little snapshots of history, art, Australian flora and fauna, Australian people and places.
I am going to be keeping a closer eye on the good ol' everyday stamp from now on.
Ella also made some wonderful bookmarks which came up a treat as well.
Do you collect stamps?
Do you do anything with them?
Do you do anything with them?
