Has anybody else noticed how the world is full of #stamps? They follow me wherever I go, hitching a ride on my sleeve or in my shoe; I even dream stamps! Hmm, maybe that's just me, then. They do kinda make my world go around. 😀 #stampsaregreat #stampart #upcycled #postagestamps

Currently working on a top-secret Christmas project as a surprise for my mother-in-law. Sssh, don't tell anyone!

Another great day here at Stampex. We’re here @thebdc on Stand 18 until 5pm Saturday. Do pop by and say hello. You’ll find stamp art and gifts by @MiniPrintVint @JillingsTonia @pennystampart @TangleCrafts and me!

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

@Erik130163 Fair enough! 😉 Do you like that series of stamps? I have more & would be happy to use them to make something different for you...

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

Hi @Erik130163 - good to see you yesterday! I forgot to mention that there is a ruler at Stand 18 that I made using the US 'Postal People' series of stamps from 1973. Thought it might be up your street... 😀

A busy first day at Stampex yesterday!
Some of our philatelic friends from Cavendish Auctions, AVH Auctions, @SpinkandSon, @ArtStamped, @pennystampart and @TangleCrafts took some time out to pose for photos📸
Stampex is on until Saturday. Come and visit! https://t.co/f6s4FR4TGx

Had a great time at Stampex yesterday, especially catching up with my fellow stamp artists @ArtStamped, @MiniPrintVint and @pennystampart. Sorry I couldn't be there for longer this year, but sending happy stampy thoughts for the rest of the show. See you next year! 😀

@StitchySqueezle @ArtStamped @Erik130163 Hi LoriAnn, There is a selection of my bags available from the @ArtStamped stand - I had a few extra made up specially! Hope you find one you like then have lots of fun finding more stampy goodies to fill it with 😀

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

Premiering at Stampex this year - new eco friendly tote bags printed with my stamp art collage designs. Let me know if you are interested in any of the alternatives & I will try to get a few more printed up, if poss... Lots of arty-stampy goodness @ArtStamped's stand! @Erik130163

Setting up at #Stampex ready for busy week! With @MiniPrintVint @TangleCrafts @JillingsTonia @pennystampart

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

Today I framed some new stamp art & re-framed some old stamp art. Unfortunately the pics I took are terrible, so if you want to see what they were, you'll just have to head down to Stampex later this week! 😉 (Visit the @ArtStamped stall, at Stand 18)

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

@MiniPrintVint Excellent, looking forward to it! 😀

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

Gorgeous work by @pennystampart! Can't wait to see her pieces in person in just a couple of days! 💗

[Suzanne at Art Stamped @ArtStamped]

I am so excited to be introducing a new featured artist to Stand 18 at #Stampex! Penny @pennystampart has enjoyed stamp collecting since childhood and decided to use her spares to create stunning stamp art visuals. Pop by and see her work from 11th - 14th Sept @thebdc #islington

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

@MiniPrintVint Hey there!😀 I can only be there for 1 day this time around, but should be there from midday to the end on Weds. Would be lovely to catch up - when will you be around?

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

This year, I'm also offering 2020 diaries with my 'stamp album' style covers - choose a vintage rainbow from a range of different countries, or a favourite theme (birds, butterflies, flowers, wildlife), or a tonal array of the classic British Machin: https://t.co/BDZbwlFBf1

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

Never mind Christmas, is it too early to mention my 2020 diaries are now in stock...? Add a little stampiness to your schedule & get organised in style!😉Custom collaged with a landscape of real vintage postage stamps in your favourite colour combination: https://t.co/BDZbwlFBf1

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

...although to be fair, the coffee definitely helps, too... 😉

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" - T.S. Eliot. Or maybe you're like me & measure your life in stamps, instead...? These rulers are made with real stamps & will be available from Stand 18 at Stampex next week, as well as online. Stamps rule! https://t.co/o0qhSgGnVe

[Suzanne at Art Stamped @ArtStamped]

Is it too early for Christmas crafts? No? Same... card making has finally started!

I reckon postcrossers and philatelists might like this plaque I spotted on the pavement on a street in Norwich #postcrossing #snailmail #philately #BritishPubNames #Stamps

The finished notebook departs for its new home today. You can choose your own favourite colour combination for a unique upcycled notebook, journal, address book or 2020 diary here: https://t.co/SnoXQTsSPF

I keep my stamps for collaging pre-sorted by colour - but the first stage of a new collage is still sorting a fresh batch of stamps for inspiration...

[TangleCrafts @TangleCrafts]

This custom order was for a notebook in purple & orange - one of my favourite combinations. I thoroughly enjoyed piecing this little 'jigsaw' together & managed to slot in several of my favourite stamps (like the little Czech postman in the bottom row!). 💗 #upcycled #stationery
