Here is something I have done with my junk/damaged stamps. It might be a bit juvenile or childish, but I enjoyed doing it. Makes an interesting presentation nonetheless. The inside of the covers are covered with stamps as well. I also did a couple of cigar boxes. It is a great way to make use of your junk/cheap stamps. Cheers! Wolf-==-   |

There's an artist in Texas who creates amazing "paintings" using stamps. |

Not on a book, but I have done several paintings and other things. A particularly fun application is to get a simple white lamp shade and decoupage stamps on it. The final effect can be quite striking. I've also done this to a clock face to make a 'stamp' clock.

yup, cover both box and book. Great use of damaged stamps Here's the box. You can still make out the cigar revenue stamp on the lower left of the first image   The cover of the book looks pretty much the same. |

The only comment I have is that I'd prefer the stamps to be arranged in a random order. That way it looks like they are randomly arranged on the display making it look like a scattering on your stamp table. Nice application BTW. Cheers! Wolf-==- |

I love stamp art. It makes for a nice counterpoint to our serious side. Cheers, |

Some restaurants in the world use stamps, casino chips, and sports cards to decorate their serving tables. |
