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.

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 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. 😊

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!

Thanks to Macro Mondays I found out why Italian vinyl ist always stamped: it's the SIAE stamp - Società Italiana Autori Editori, the Italian association of authors and publishers.

Macro Monday challenge "Stamp". I bought this stamp years ago to use with my artwork. Great challenge since I hadn't thought about using stamps for a long time. Will give them a try now!

A small 'ideas' notebook that I always have to hand. It has a leather case stamped with a maker's mark.

The case has a beaten copper panel on the front, and was hand-made by my metalsmith friend Laurie. It was an adventure into working with leather and metals together.

For Macro Mondays "Ceramic Theme.

In ancient times when stamps were not self sticking you activated the glue by licking the back of the stamp which got old very fast. One stamp was OK but a bunch led to a disgusting glue build up on your tongue. As an alternative you could fill this device about half full of water and as you drug the stamp over the top the roller would pick up a water and apply it to the stamp. It actually worked reasonably well. It is 100% ceramics, including the axle.

HMM

It's that time of the year.

A few weeks ago I discoverd postcrossing. I love it. This is a sample of the stamps I received.

The Rose Greedo Sixpence and the One-Eyed, No-Nosed Brown Wedgehead are sought after by collectors worldwide.
