Looks like postage rates are going up again. Effective January 22, the cost of a first class stamp will be .45 cents. Over at Zazzle, you can of course, create your own stamp. Though they do cost more than buying a book of stamps at the store, the cost of these stamps helps supports the artists creating them. Here are some of my favorites that I have created.
This is my most popular stamp. It's a photo of an old radio that sits in my dad's garage. It's covered in spider webs, bird poop, gunk - it's super gross and I don't even know if it works, but it made a great picture! I shot it lomo style, I wanted to give it an aged retro look.
My next most popular stamp is a little creepy, it's an antique hand pump used for embalming. I can explain...you see, I used to work as a mortician and over the years I collected items like this; the value in antique funerary items never goes down. My collection of embalming items is quite large and it's an amazing conversation piece. I have a whole section of my store devoted to the funeral service, it's The Mortuary. Even for the historical aspect of it, it's worth a look! I think I'll super promote it come Halloween!
My third most popular stamp, the Happy Blue Heeler. This is Pearly Mae, she's my mom's dog and she's about as goofy as they get. This dog has no interest in anything - nothing! Except, snow. She doesn't want to play in water, she doesn't want to go outside, she doesn't want to do anything that will interup her day. But if there's snow, that dog is a burrowing fool. She's horribly sweet and she's super easy to photography; she is interested in what I'm doing. I think she thinks she's going to get something out of it.
I do have more stamps, those are just the highlights. And when you buy my stamps, or any of my products, you're supporting a small, one person venture where every little bit counts and I really appreciate any business I get. And I hope you appreciate the Zazzle items you order :)
