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.

Cynthia,

The last “whisper” should be on its way Nicole. It should be very delightful and shocking I hope!

Very nice work everyone! You are all inspiring me to make some new stamps. Hey Theo, I sure hope our iATCs "round the campfire" project will be completed soon so we can see everyone's results! Cynthia

Hola Carla, Gracias por traducirlo.

 

Ademas si todo se pudiera desalambrar se terminaria con las fronteras y es posible que asi se terminen las guerras, UTOPIA.......que le dicen.

 

Salud!

I see!  Very important to know that... thanks for the explanation.  For those who don't speak Spanish, this is the translation I got from Google:

"The image is of a wire fence - perimeter fence -  and one of the elements that tighten these wires 
that indicate "private property." In Argentina every time there are  more buyers of state lands with high natural resources, 
and even  the original inhabitants, eg the Mapuche are
driven from their lands."

La imagen es de una alambrado, - cerco perimetral - y uno de los elementos que tensan estos alambrados que nos indican la  "propiedad privada" . En la argentina cada ves hay mas compradores de tierras estatales con altos recursos naturales, y hasta los habitantes originarios, por ej los Mapuches son echados de sus tierras.

Oh, Dear - did Liz Taylor die?  Sorry to hear it... like the stamps, Susanna.

 

Is that a submarine, Samuel?  I tried google translate on 'a desalambrar' but no results!
