Sunday Stamps - August 18, 2024
Sunday Stamps this week has the theme of Patterns. I took that in several different directions.
There are patterns in lace.
Hungary, 1960
There are quilt patterns.
U.S.A. 1978
Patterns in backgrounds.
Czechoslovakia 1946
And lots of patterns around edges of stamps.
India 1950s
There are also patterns on the wings of butterflies.
Poland 1967
Hungary 1959
Colors is the theme for next week. More colorful than butterflies? Come back to see!
Lace is always beautiful on Stamps.
ReplyDeleteStamps are a great canvas for patterns. You thought of very different ones!
ReplyDeleteThose quilt stamps are among my favourite.
I don't think I've seen the whole set of those quilts until now. Lace doilies are not so much in fashion, but I still have a couple that I put out every now and then. I love their delicate patterns. The older stamps almost always had a patterned edge, which is sadly missed.
ReplyDeleteThat lace is pretty. Those borders are cool, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the lace stamp!! and the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI loved the two sets of butterfly stamps. And oh, for the days of 13 cent stamps.
ReplyDeleteI like the shapes on the quilt stamps making them look like handbags. I like the old ornate designs and patterns, a superb engraved stamp from Czechoslovakia.
