Carp made entirely from stamps

My previous post showed the ingredients for this stamp collage fish, which is roughly based on the Mirror carp!   Not knowing a  great deal about fish I discussed my latest project with a friend and it turned out that her son is a keen  Carp fisherman and she was most enthusiastic about the beauty of this particular fish.  Searching through my supply of stamps I found several which I felt would be suitable to create my own version, which admittedly is a bit of a hybrid!   My newspaper background is in fact pages from a Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue.   There will shortly be an exhibition locally entitled "Fish" - date to be announced!
