Artistamps/Art stamps

This swap is for artistamps or artstamps or faux postage that you create yourself. While I know that there are now sites that allow you to produce postage that is honored by the postal system, for this swap we are making faux stamps. You will be sending one sheet (or if you are cutting them by hand nine stamps) to each of your three partners for a total of three sheets. You can do this one of two ways: first, you can rubberstamp a series of images on precreated postage blanks several companies sell these (one hundred proof press comes to mind), alternatively you can digitally produce stamps using a photo shop software application. The site STAMPITOUT will take your image and create a sheet of postage (http://www.stampitout.wildjelly.com/). Either method is fine. The goal here is to create "mulitples" that is at least one sheet containing multiple images. As each technique is different, I am not going to require a fixed amount of images, only that we each produce one sheet of identical postage stamps. (Rubber stamped sheets may have only six stamps, while digitally reproduced stamps will likely have more). Just use your good sense on what will make for a good swap. All stamps should be ready to adhere to an envie (some kind of adhesive should be on the stamp).

Have fun. If you have any questions, email me or leave a message on the board.

In the interest of creating a fair exchange, I will admit newbies who write to me and have a full profile with working email. Please do not sign up if you have more than one no send or a total rating of under four. I will be banning anyone who does not meet our minimal requirements.
