At last years Brimfileld Flea Market I bought a bag full of old stamps.
I started sorting them out and discovered all the amazing different shades of blue.
So I started gluing them on a board until it was all covered in stamps.
Framed it in a simple West Elm frame and voila, I have a really cool artwork.

I made some of these recently myself. You can find stamps easily on etsy, that's where I got them.
I love the blue colors, very nice.

This is my first time i visit here. I found interesting things to many in your blog, mostly to the debate.
Posted by: mobile spy | April 05, 2012 at 11:52 PM
This is lovely. I was wondering, would you mind if I pinned this to Pinterest? If not I entirely understand.
Posted by: sarala | April 06, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Paul - great idea and so simple too! I have a similar frame hanging around my house - I have to do this. Thanks for the inspiration!
I met you when I attended Holly Becker's Blogging Your Way Class in NYC. Thanks for stopping in and giving us your tips and advice. Love your food ideas and photos so much. I may even try cooking one of them soon (my husband has hi-jacked the kitchen of late - need to take it back with one of your great recipes!!).
Thanks for you great blog and magazine,
Linda

Good idea! I have a box full of old bills from around the world.

Lovley idea....looks very stylish!
Posted by: Überall &Nirgendwo | April 28, 2012 at 02:59 AM
It's really a good idea; well done congratulations. I keep the idea in mind for my painting work. The blue stamps are quite rare here in France, let's try another colour. Amicalement. Annie.
