This is my entry for
The Three Muses challenge this week where the theme is "Postage Stamps". I'm so glad this challenge came about as I had a lot of fun rummaging through my stamp drawers in my art hutch. I love to collect stamps from cards and whatnot that I receive in the mail (can't remember who this stamp is from). I have been so caught up in digital imagery lately that I lost connection with all of the bits and pieces of ephemera that I have kept over the years for art journaling. I just scanned the stamp above to my photo files, brought it up in Photoshop and highlighted it a bit and added other imagery to create this piece. Thank you Three Muses for the inspiration!
Other imagery used is from Ztampf, Rosey Posey and Finecrafted Designs at Deviant Scrap.

Fabulous stamp and beautiful composition!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really cool and reminds me of the commercials they used to have years ago about always using zip codes. Maybe it was when zip codes first came out??? Cant't be because now I feel really old...ikes!

ReplyDeleteWOW, Lori, we'll try to inspire you to dig into your art hutch more often. This is such an original and interesting bit of art. Thanks for participating in this week's challenge!
ReplyDeleteI think we all have mounds of useful (and useless) ephemera the origins of which are lost in the mists of the past!!
