Design your own postage stamps, Finnish style!
Posted on:: September 21st, 2005
In Finland, you can design your own postage stamps. Just don’t tell the Boobs4BourbonSt guy. In fact, don’t tell me.(Thanks to Juha Jokinen for the link.)

You can make your own USPS stamps at Zazzle
Also at http://www.stamps.com.
I’ve tried them, they come out pretty good!
I think that could be interesting for stamps collectors. Original custom designed stamps could be really valuable. I’ve actually neved had a single stamp myself so I might be wrong as they obviously have their own rules or values… What do you think?
There sure are copycats in this world since here in canada we have the same opportunity. As an artist, I feel that making stamps from my paintings is a great idea. With a garanteed limited number of stamps actually printed, say 200, who knows if one day they might be valuable.
