Great job! That is truely impressive. I'm up to three pieces in a postage stamp.........
Not to get technical, but without photographic proof, it really hasn't "happened" yet."Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

Hey, Grizz
Congratulations! I have seen only one other person who has equaled your feat! Post a picture if you can.....
I admire your tenacity. I personally would not undertake it as the result would not be something that children could put together and the pieces probably would not be able, because of their size, to honor the color lines in the stamp's picture. I use the stamp puzzles to give away wherever I want my name and work to be remembered.....and they have been very successful in pursuing that objective. I recommend them (with fewer pieces, of course) for that purpose.
Keep up the good work! and have phun!

Thanks everyone. I'm still excited about it. I took it to Bible study to show everyone there... and I still have all the pieces.
Carter, I'm not sure if I'm up to doing anymore stamps with that many pieces in it... but I was thinking of doing some like you do... maybe a 9 piece puzzle?
A church memeber recommended going to a coin/stamp store to get a small magnifying case to keep it in. One, so that people could see it better. Two, so that it stays together and pieces are not lost.

Congrats,
I'd really like to see that
I can easily imagine the work involved, and it scares the beejesus out of me.
Did you buy/make a pattern for the puzzle?
How did you stick the pattern on the stamp, and how did you remove it?
And what is the support material?
What size blade do you use?
Is it a Canadian or American one cent stamp, or are they the same size?
Hum..., guess I have a curious mindhttp://marleb.com

It's not fair! You guys have much prettier (and cheaper) stamps on your side of the pond.

Marcel,
I'd really like to see that: In time, we do pictures the old fashion way.
Did you buy/make a pattern for the puzzle? Found a free pattern on the internet... where? I don't remember, down loaded it over a year ago.
How did you stick the pattern on the stamp, and how did you remove it?
And what is the support material? I used some spray glue on the stamp... on 1/8 inch ply. I just used clear packing tape over the stamp to hold the pattern down. As each piece was cut the pattern blew away.
What size blade do you use? FD Jeweler's Blade 3/0
Is it a Canadian or American one cent stamp, or are they the same size? American. I don't know if it is the same size or not?

And they cost 21p (25c) each.
What a rotten design for a jigsaw puzzle.

Reply to Spiral Blades - Tips & Tricks?by JimernThe best tip I have with spirals is to cut straight lines backwards. instead of pushing the work piece into the blade, pull it toward you. Seems to allow for better control on straight lines (most other lines too)
