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. 😊

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!

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!

Stamping on leather ... by Elisafox22 off and on a bit!

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.

Shot with the Lensbaby Double Glass optic and +4 macro converter.

For the Macro Monday challenge "Stamp" (January 24th 2022)
