Postage Stamp Bowl

August 26, 2007 |

postagestampbowl_275_275.jpgHere’s an art show you can enjoy no matter where you live … “Repurposed: Art from Recycled Materials” is an EBSQ (an online art association) juried show that “opened” in April to benefit Environmental Defense. One of the art show pieces that stood out for me was Amanda Hone’s colorful “Postage Stamp Bowl,” which was also won a Member’s Mention award. Amanda, who lives in Wales, first created a paper-mache bowl from old newspaper then collaged a layer of postage stamps. She writes in her artist’s statement: “The bowl is not dishwasher safe — obviously, but it is lovely for storing scraps of wool or paper, arty bits or even used stamps being saved to make another bowl.” Her bowl reminds me that used postage stamps are wonderful little free, framed artworks that make a great addition to collage projects.
