The last art piece for today features a cancelled postage stamp. I have a collection of old postage stamps which is a great resource when I am looking for little pieces of art for a project. This one is from a bird series and it reads 46 cents. How long has it been since we paid 46 cents for first class postage?? I dug out all the stamps I had from the series and chose those whose cancellation was the least conspicuous. I added them to coloured tags which I layered over handmade paper sheets that had a handmade paper layer (my own) glued to a quarter sheet of cardstock. I added a large brad through all the layers and tied on a short piece of coordinating fiber!!
That is number four and we have eight to go!!
