"MacroMondays", " Numbers and Lettres"

Hi there,

Don't you just hate it when you have a stack of envelopes to mail and there's only one stamp left? HMM!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. Have a great week!

Macro Mondays.

Stamp.

Stamp, tweezers and letters.

I did start to pick out the letters for 'Macro Mondays' as you can see. BUT Way, way to fiddly for me!!!! 😁.

Thanks for visiting.

HMM......

For Macro Mondays - Stamp

--------------------------------------------

Over the years I have collected a selection of rubber stamps to decorate envelopes before I put them into the mail. This is one of my favorites. It measures 3" long x 1.5" wide. HMM, everyone.

Stamp

I don’t know what they sell from this shed, but they give Gold Bond Stamps. Maybe they sell paddle boats or Coca Cola. Remember when we had those booklets to paste our Green Stamps and Gold Stamps into. You had to collect thousands to get anything good from the redemption store. I liked to paste them into the book when I was a kid. Where have all the good times gone ...LOL?

I can remember when, as a kid, I used to put postcards or postal enveloppes on top of a pan full of boiling water, so that I could detach the stamps without damaging them and collect them neatly in albums...

My collection is long gone (I've sold it for a ridiculously low price at a flea market in my teens), but I'm sometimes tempted again to put aside a few nice stamps. Maybe out of nostalgy.

For preparing this shot, I've started the process with a water boiler beforehand. Then for taking the picture I've been using the steam from an air humidifier, placed under the stamps.

This is one of the few shots with roughly the right amount of steam-induced blurriness but still enough crispness in the subject. 😊

The only stamp that actually looked like one in the house!

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

These stamps were used in my father -in-law's jewelry factory. The 800 was used to stamp silver jewelry, and the GAM

Trademark designates jewelry made of gold alloy less that 375°°. The width of the "800" is about 2mm.

The stamps themselves have a hook shape to allow stamping on the inside of finished rings.

Macro Mondays: Stamp

I had bought these little tags and letter stamps a while ago from Dollarama and figured they would someday come in handy for a photo op. I am not a crafty person and my OCD is getting to me that the stamped words aren't spaced right; on the otherhand, I don't mind how it looks because it wasn't made in a factory by a machine...lol

Thank you very much for your views and kind comments. HMM!

REDUX 2022

I selected the fourth theme of the year 2022 "Stamp"

This macro is of a copper plate section worked in the mezzotint or «manera negra» etching style. The textures obtained on the plate are achieved with a tool called "berceau". The lights are obtained by means of friction tools such as scraper or burnisher

The width of the plate is just 3 inches.

(042/365) An Post have issued a special booklet of 10 stamps for Valentine's Day & you get 2 stamps free which is great. Grá is Irish for Love. I bought these especially to photograph for Smile on Saturday theme "Colourful Hearts", the holograms hearts are so pretty HSoS 😃💌
