Stamp Art
I just found out about this discussion site (thanks Luree) and wanted to share something a bit different. I am an avid collector of U.S. stamps - with my latest focus on 19th century. I love it but it gets a bit expensive. So in between my buying binges, I love to still work with stamps. So I started doing some stamp art. I know there are alot of very detailed stamp artist out there (that is not me). But I just like the simple sillouettes with themed stamps that I think make some very nice pictures. I thought I would share some of these with folks. I have about 20 pieces and still thinking of some others. If anyone wants to see more - let me know. I hope you enjoy.

The rest are some of the other sillouette stamp art that I completed to date. None are for sale at this time. Just doing it for enjoyment. Maybe one day.
Thanks for your comments.
And Ted - I'm with you - I really like the church too. My next favorite is the flower.
Thanks
Scott -- I have considered doing requests - but not sure how that would work. Also - as I mentioned above, these things take a while depending on design and stamp availability. Not sure people will want to spend enough on these to make it worth my while. But - just out of curiosity - do you have a request?

Just off the top of my head.
Feel free to ignore all these.

I probably need to put a darker background on it so you can see the detail around the face and collar, etc. Will see if that is better. In the meantime - wanted to share. Working on horse and penguins next.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Would be cool to do it entirely in #7's & #9's.
By the way - I just realized you own Classic Philatelist! I have bought several stamps from you over the past year. I just received #185 (Unused NG) in the mail yesterday. It is a very nice stamp.
Have a great day!
I'll see what I can do.
And I'm glad you are happy with the stuff you get from us. I remember that 185. Nice stamp.
Very cool.
How do you build your mats?
Lincoln, Washinton, Queen Elizabeth and the Beatles are in the works. Then it is vacation time.
So cool!
Thanks again.
