Stamp Extravaganza!

We've got our smallest art yet -- the art of postage stamps. There are so many that I got a little carried away, and I haven't even scratched the surface.

All the "Let's Dance" stamps are great. This one is by Rafael Lopez.

This famous design by Robert Indiana graced the first Love stamp in 1973.




I like Sherlock Holmes stamps:



Lord of the Rings:

Tiger (postage stamps glued to silk)
