There's something truly fascinating about the way a simple, infinitely repeated design (such as the Machin postage stamp) can also provide infinite variety in the tiny differences acquired during exposure to the world's postal systems. The Machin stamp has been issued in so many colour variations over the decades that this new ombre design seemed an ideal way to show off the colours.

The postage stamps have all been individually soaked from their original envelopes, dried, then glued into place with an acid-free, xylene-free adhesive.

UPCYCLED POSTAGE STAMP NOTEBOOK -

Festive Red Ombre Machin Collage

One of a kind, for first class notes!

MADE TO ORDER - please allow 5 days from date of order for your customised notebook to be stampified! It will follow the same colours & pattern as shown but will not be identical to the pictured notebook (due to postmarks etc).

The front cover is covered with a stripy/ombre used postage stamp collage. The colours range from dark to light from burgundy, berry red, fire engine red to coral. The stamps still bear fragments of postmarks and other cancellation marks as a testament to their former active service with the Royal Mail, making every notebook unique.

The back cover is left blank, except for a hand-stamped TangleMail Prioritaire postmark, as seen in pic 2. The postmark will be date-stamped with the date of collage, or can be customised with an alternative date (eg birthday, anniversary etc) upon request - just let me know.

Simply packaged in a plain cellophane packet, this is a customised, high quality Muji notebook with firm-but-flexible kraft cardstock cover, secure stitched binding, and grey binding tape covering the outer spine. Inside are 30 feint ruled pages (60 sides to write on). The notebook is A6 size (approx. 10.5 x 14.8 cm - a tiny bit larger than a Moleskine small cahier) - ideal for tucking into a pocket or throwing into a bag/purse for notes-on-the-go.

Alternative colour options available - please see my other listings.
