Looks awesome! How much did you spend on making it?

I actually made it myself from scratch.

Did you need to buy a lot of stamps? Were they expensive or maybe expired ones?
@Uma
Good question! The art is made from old Great Britain definitive stamps and measures 5x7 inches (a bit smaller than A5). The frame was about £1, the canvas around 50p, and the light blue paper was roughly 5p. The stamps, which are used/franked, cost me about 2p each when bought in bulk on eBay. I did have to discard a few due to poor quality. Hope that clears it up!

Wow, thanks for the detailed breakdown. That’s such an interesting way to make art. Love it!

Glad you like it! I share more of my stamp art on Instagram. If you’re interested, take a look at my profile at SMEB123. It’s a fun hobby, and not too time-consuming either.

I checked out your page! Your pieces are fantastic. Would love to see some with more intricate designs, maybe something like antlers or tentacles. Keep it up, you’re doing great!
