For this swap lets create 1 fun ATC incorporating postage head (portrait) into collage body ATC to create extension of that postage.

The challenge is to find a perfect body and angle for the postage so it looks "natural"

Please use creative background and no faux postages please.

1 ATC for 1 partner.

Great examples are here Sianrobertsonart and here

So Challenge description "...is to find a perfect body and angle for the postage so it looks "natural." To find image(s) to match the postage stamp portrait head. It isn't required that the body be drawn & painted, like the image for the swap above?
Thank you for links to example of art collages with real stamps. Helps.

My idea was to have more "collage look" rather the just drawn body under the stamp. However it is all depends on likes dislikes people you swap with. ... people already had something in mind when signed up for this swap. you can also check your partner profile and see if she likes drawn / painted for example. also depends on quality and complexity of ATC.

Image above is stamped and cut out image from Tim Holtz collection, I just used pen to outline image.
This was my first series of ATC with stamp heads.
