Anyone going to Barbados?

Lucky you if you are off to Barbados for a holiday, but if not, perhaps the next best thing would be a flag like this, all made of the stamps of Barbados!  What a colourful flag it is, originally adopted in 1966 when the island became independent. Its colours represent the blue of the ocean and the golden sands  of Barbados with the broken trident in the centre, taken from the original colonial badge.  I was commissioned  to make this  Barbados flag stamp collage as a Christmas present and will be getting some canvas prints made from the design too.  I've really enjoyed putting it together, sourcing suitable stamps to conjure up the atmosphere of the island. I've including stamps with flowers, fish and birds of Barbados, coral reefs, blue skies and some of the famous landmarks and, of course, cricket, lovely cricket!

Brazil World cup 2014

With the World Cup in full swing, flags of all the participating nations, and this year in particular the flag of Brazil,  are much in evidence!  Here's one I made earlier.The original  stamp collage was sold a couple of years ago, but canvas prints and giclee prints can always be made in a variety of sizes.  All the stamps are from Brazil, and show events, places and personalities from the country's history.

I've many more stamp collage flags, all of which are made from stamps of the country concerned,  which can be seen on the flags page of my website. Originals, prints, and cards are available for most of the ones shown, and prints can be made to order. Please contact me if you would like to know prices.
I'm always happy to consider commissions for flags of other nations and am currently working on the flag of Barbados!
