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.

Comment by Rachel Fasig on March 9, 2010 at 11:45pm: Hello! I don't make artistamps, but I'm really intrigued by them and learning how I might make them. I love getting mail from other countries because I love the variety in stamps (well...I simply love getting the mail too!). I have bought used stamps to use my own art.

May I join you?? Rachel
