Create an Artistamp

Artistamps go by several different names: faux postage, postoids, cinderellas.

All of these terms basically describe an artist-created stamp that is not used as real postage. These stamps are created simply as an art form unto themselves, and are often used to decorate pieces of mail art, envelopes, or used in collage or altered books.

Each swap participant is to create 5 different artistamps and send them to 1 partner.

It's always nice to check out your partner's profile for ideas on theme – but it is sender's choice.

Stamp size should be close to the size of an average postage stamp --- this varies, so just try to size it to look like an actual stamp.

Please include a note tucked inside the envie indicating the swap name, and your Swap-Bot user ID.
