response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Connected.”
And I did the exact same thing tonight!
I found this sheet of stamps. (a birthday gift from a friend a couple years ago) in my desk and thought it was perfect for framing in a plastic box frame. 39 cent stamps. The children’s literature characters caught my eye.
One sheet my dad framed. These stamps came out in the early 70’s. The love stamps are 8 cents.
After Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculpture and prints.http://m.mentalfloss.com/article.php?id=25276
And here’s another sheet of stamps my father framed. When the stamps were 13 cents.
I stitched the needlepoint pillow kit of the butterfly stamps and gave it to my Aunt Rhea and then she passed it back to me. Connections
I like that you have that connection with your dad. And what a great idea to frame stamps. They are truly works of art.
Loved those stamps from the childrens books ……. wish they would issue them again!!! Speaking of “connections” there is a 2015 stamp “To you from Me” ……. they do not have them at any of the POs in the East End! I remember that LOVE stamp —–can’t believe it came out in the 70ties!!!
how cool is this, Ruth! i was wondering how you would connect with this challenge, and what an original take. thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Kris. It just came to me as I was putting stamps in the frame – connection!
Some stamps are beautiful works of art, prime for framing and admiring. Great stories behind the images!
