diana beltran herrera’s three-dimensional bird stamps

It’s rare to receive a letter these days, and especially rare to see one sporting a pretty stamp – which is a shame, really, because those tiny bits of paper can be rather artful, indeed. Why, just look at Diana Beltran Herrera’s latest works. The Colombian-born lass (who we were fortunate enough to interview a little while back) makes stamps honouring birdlife from different ecosystems (inspired, naturally enough, by Diana’s travels). Each stamp is, in fact, a three-dimensional paper sculpture, and although they don’t function as actual stamps, they do transport us somewhere else entirely, which is what stamps are meant to do, after all.
