An artistamp (a portmanteau of the words "artist" and "stamp") or artist's stamp refers to a postage stamp-like artform. It is similar to a Cinderella stamp in that it is not valid for postage, but it differs from a forgery or a bogus stamp in that (typically) the creator has no intent to fool any post office or collector of stamps. (However, depending on how the stamp is used, it may be difficult to distinguish artistamps from local post stamps.) The artistamp is intended to be a miniature artwork which can depict or commemorate any subject its creator chooses.

Add a comment? Does anarchy make you panicky? In this instance, most certainly, yes. Regards, Val

Thank you! Those stamp sheets look like they would be great! My budget is pretty tight right now and I like making things myself so I can have more flexibility on what I can make into a stamp. These I made with small origami paper squares as a base. For my first ones I used rubber stamps on big office labels. And I just got some rolls of gold and silver metallic and hot pink contact paper (thank you $1 store) that I want to cut into little sticker stamps. I going to see what kind of stamping paint will stick to the plastic surface. oh, I am having waaaay too much fun!
