Sorting all my stamps (see my previous blog post about them here, if you missed it) has taken a bit longer than anticipated, but, alas... the sorting is finally done! Now it is time to arrange them and mount them onto some white archival paper... hmmm... which I anticipate might take even longer. Here is a snap of some of the red series so far... these are ones waiting to be mounted on the paper... tedious? Yes. But, hopefully the framed end result is going to look really good.

How very pretty they look sorted by color!!
They are just beautiful! Can't wait to see how this project ends up.
Can't wait to see the finished project!
I'm loving this! Can't wait to see it all complete! They look great with the dark colour behind them as well. :)
I can't wait to see what your doing with them too. I have a Kazillion of them that my neighbor gave me years ago. In a box....!!
Wow, that is an amazing collection! Looking forward to seeing more. :)
Gorgeous. I love stamps, especially ones from all over the world!
Oh Valerie, what a lot of work but I think it will be so worth it. They look gorgeous. :)
Can't wait to see them all framed up, what a unique work of art it will be.
Have a lovely day, T. :)
That's the sign of a true artist right there; sorting a stamp collection by color. That's what I did too, and apparently, you're supposed to sort them by country. Oh well... Haha. :)
How pretty! I admire patience it must have taken to sort all these. I think my favorites are the cardinals. :-)
lovely! they look so pretty!
i used to collect stamps as a kid - i still have my albums - ive got some beautiful ones....
I can't wait to see this done!!!
These are so cool : )
You've done an amazing job, I applaud your patience as I know how tedious sorting small items (especially lots of small items) can be.
So far it looks great can imagine that the finished project will look spectacular.
this is going to be so cool! what are you going to mount them with?
Red...just in time for Valentine's Day. A wonderful collection.
How will you mount them? What type of adhesive would you use?
Can't wait to see the end result.
This is going to be awesome! Keep it up! :)
