Souvenir Sheetlet - Birds



This beautiful artwork consists of 6 stamps which shows 6 kinds of rare birds in China. It was issued in April 2008. This artwork is a meticulous painting. I really like the beautiful colors used by the artist. Of course, it is very valuable to keep the whole set as the way it is. If you need a postage to a mail a letter, you never use this kind of souvenir stamp. This is for collection. I want to know if you like it.

    Wow, I have never seen a stamp collection like this before, still attached all together in a sheet. I have only seen where there is a sheet and there may be same or different pictures on each stamp but not a whole picture where each piece adds to the entire picture. Really cool! Plus, the birds are very unique. I like the one to the very left in the tree that has a long beautiful black and white tail and striking eyes.

    I have never seen this kind of stamp before. This is really neat where you collect six different stamps, and put them together to create the full complete picture. I could see myself collecting these, and keep it as a personal collection in somewhere safe for my own viewing time.

    This stamp is nuts. I would have never thought there would make a collage of stamps because I usually think of stamps as individuals that depict its own image. I guess if you view each stamp individually they function as expected, but when combined you get this beautiful picture that sums to more than its parts.

Art is a Way to Relax

I enjoy art! whenever I feel stressful, I love do some artwork to help me relax and think of beautiful things. With or without colors, a painting can always help me to enjoy my own world and stay away from the chaos. I don't know when my passion for art began, I just know I love art because it is something that doesn't limit my imagination and "weird" thinking. When I was a child, I went to the beach with my parents. My mom gave me a bucket and a beach ball to play with. Another child who had the same toys  put sand in the bucket and threw the ball on the beach. I put the beach ball on top of the bucket and gave it to my mom as a huge ice cream cone. To me, everything could be a piece of nice artwork. Just like this painting above, a couple of colors can make you feel that you stand in front of the ocean or fly in the sky.

My Stamp Collection

Image
  Stamp collection is one of my hobbies since it is really art related. When I went to Beijing China to visit my grandma, she gave me a whole set of stamps as my birthday gift. I just realized that from one stamp I can learn a lot of things! Of course, the first thing I noticed is the art design, history and culture, even historical events. This stamp is older than me. It was issued before I was born in the year 1996. This design is Dunhuang Murals- Buddha with a thousand hands. On the stamp you can see that the stamp's face value is only 500 cents in Yuan (about $0.8), but it becomes extremely valuable now. I truly admire the beautiful design. I would say that this not only a beautiful souvenir stamp but also a religious art. Dunhuang is a world cultural heritage. Those artists who designed this stamp "invited" the artwork from the wall of the cave to the paper. I hope you enjoy this beautiful artwork!
