Has anybody else noticed how the world is full of #stamps? They follow me wherever I go, hitching a ride on my sleeve or in my shoe; I even dream stamps! Hmm, maybe that's just me, then. They do kinda make my world go around. ๐Ÿ˜€ #stampsaregreat #stampart #upcycled #postagestamps

Had a great time at Stampex yesterday, especially catching up with my fellow stamp artists @ArtStamped, @MiniPrintVint and @pennystampart. Sorry I couldn't be there for longer this year, but sending happy stampy thoughts for the rest of the show. See you next year! ๐Ÿ˜€

Hi @Erik130163 - good to see you yesterday! I forgot to mention that there is a ruler at Stand 18 that I made using the US 'Postal People' series of stamps from 1973. Thought it might be up your street... ๐Ÿ˜€

Today I framed some new stamp art & re-framed some old stamp art. Unfortunately the pics I took are terrible, so if you want to see what they were, you'll just have to head down to Stampex later this week! ๐Ÿ˜‰ (Visit the @ArtStamped stall, at Stand 18)

Gorgeous work by @pennystampart! Can't wait to see her pieces in person in just a couple of days! ๐Ÿ’—
I am so excited to be introducing a new featured artist to Stand 18 at #Stampex! Penny @pennystampart has enjoyed stamp collecting since childhood and decided to use her spares to create stunning stamp art visuals. Pop by and see her work from 11th - 14th Sept @thebdc #islington

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" - T.S. Eliot. Or maybe you're like me & measure your life in stamps, instead...? These rulers are made with real stamps & will be available from Stand 18 at Stampex next week, as well as online. Stamps rule! tanglecrafts.com/search?q=ruโ€ฆ

...although to be fair, the coffee definitely helps, too... ๐Ÿ˜‰

I reckon postcrossers and philatelists might like this plaque I spotted on the pavement on a street in Norwich #postcrossing #snailmail #philately #BritishPubNames #Stamps

I keep my stamps for collaging pre-sorted by colour - but the first stage of a new collage is still sorting a fresh batch of stamps for inspiration...

This custom order was for a notebook in purple & orange - one of my favourite combinations. I thoroughly enjoyed piecing this little 'jigsaw' together & managed to slot in several of my favourite stamps (like the little Czech postman in the bottom row!). ๐Ÿ’— #upcycled #stationery

I bought stamps the other day and they were these, and now I have to buy stamps I can actually part with.
