Inspired by postage stamps green booklet #3

I have set up April green booklet swap as well so I don't have to leave reminders:

GREEN: Earth Day! Green Booklet #4

Fabulous idea! Just wondering, can I use a typewriter to type out the words?

Ooh sounds fun but what do you mean the story behind the stamp and what we have learned from it?

@mag yes, as long as it is on recycled paper

@helenmarie123 you can always look up on google ;) for instance, this stamp:

is scene from the Hengshan mountains, so you Google or go to Wiki to find out more about those mountains and you write it down.

or this stamp (I have it in my collection):

see in the corner, you can see the name of the animal so you google it.

or these:

See? On most stamps there is a little writing what it represents.

If you don't find anything written on the stamp, use following: type into Google image description, land of origin, and country of origin, like this: "butterfly postage stamp usa". Than go to pictures tab and pick the one you have. Most often, you'll get some kind of background about stamp so you can look up further.

Ah i see thankyou for very clear explanation! X

I have just uploaded pictures on Flickr for another, similar swap we did in European group. You can view them here if you need an idea. For that swap we needed to pick 10 stamps from our own country (mine being Croatia).

So, you need to create something similar, only with stamps that are not from your country or your partner's country. Any other country is OK but those 2!

Are we supposed to pick 10 stamps from one country? That is, all 10 from Azerbaijan, or can it be 5 Azerbaijan, 3 Zimbabwe, 2 Qatar? (assuming those countries are otherwise acceptable, etc etc).

No, you can pick 10 stamps from which ever country you want APART from your own and your partner's. It can be from one country or from 10 countries. Sender's choice.
