Art Work Made With Stamps

Can any one identify by Scott number the different stamps used to create this beautiful work of art? Also, does anyone have any other similar works of art they could share? I think this is a creative way to recycle damaged stamps and I would like to see more like this.

This one of Vivienne Westwood;

is by the artist Peter Mason.

I saw a large collage of an African woman at a local exhibition, which used Wilding definitives and some colonial stamps. That wasn't by Mason, but I can't remember her name.

Machins are probably the ideal stamps for collage. For some edgy art, mix in Hitler heads with some 1949 Sun Yat-sens.

Without being able to check the perforations and watermarks of the stamps used on that postcard, it would be impossible to identify exactly what stamps were used. The one cent green Washington could likely be US #498 from 1917 but could also be #424 from 1914, or one of a dozen or so other varieties of the same stamp design. The 4 cent brown from the same series could be #503 or #427 or similar. There is a one-cent Franklin in the lower left branch that is probably #331 from 1908 or #374 from 1910, but again without checking perfs and watermark, it would be difficult to know exactly. A nice piece of historical artwork.

You can find some other examples, mostly from China, in this thread here on SCF - https://goscf.com/t/67005

I had tried doing some collages of simple pictures using GB Machin definitives. One problem was the lack or scarcity of some colours. I have 10s of thousands of surplus machins but some shadesarent don't exist and unless doing a huge collage to be viewed from a distance subtlety of shading is almost impossible.
I had never thought about cutting the stamps out to make shapes and use a limited color pallete as in Judgehens postcard. I must try this sometime. One problem is that if it takes on average 10 minutes to accurately identify a stamp ther is always the danger of including some real rarity in the picture.

Snake made from Penny Reds. Someone bid £70 inc. fees for that.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their unique and beautiful treasures. It's clear this type of art takes a lot of time and talent to create. I will have to revisit, and take a closer look at my Asian collection.

Some collectors dislike using stamps as art, but imo there seems to be no better solution for what to do with large amounts of duplicates of the same stamp. The only alternatives I have heard on this forum don''t make much sense: throw them in the trash, dump in kiloware for someone else to decide, keep until you die.

Zebraman.Thanks for the great feedback. I knew it was impossible to get a positive Identification for all of the stamps, but sometimes an extra set of eyes will pick up on things I miss.Based on the stamps used. I think it would be safe to say it was created between 1908 & 1917. The links were a great and informative read. Again many thanks for the help.
