Used Stamp

Used Stamp
If i make and sell cards that have used stamps on them, will i be committing a federal offence?

I'm in Australia btw.

I have a bunch of used stamps. Not expensive collectors ones, just a dime a dozen type ones.

Anyway, i've been making some cool vintage looking cards and yesterday i made one using a stamp from my collection.

I think it would be saleable and would like to make a few, but i just don't know what the law says about it.

I recall years ago, that one could buy little bags of used stamps.
totally of no value to anyone.

if you have made something, then you deserve to be paid. make certain that the stamp is only decorative and not the purpose of the sale....

If in doubtce station. if you are selling arts n crafts... you should be ok.

Adventures of Priscilla Queen of Desert / Movie [VHS] Adventures of Priscilla Queen of Desert / Movie [VHS]

 

Description

A surprise hit in America, this 1994 Australian comedy is anchored by Terence Stamp as a transsexual who, in the company of two drag queens, travels to a remote desert location to put on a lip-synch performance--to the amazement of the locals. Getting there on a pink bus named Priscilla, the trio stop and play for people all over the Outback, getting the same homophobic, bewildered responses. The weak link in the film is dialogue that seems to have been pulled from "Queer Movie Banter for Dummies," all bitchy and cliché-ridden but fortunately salvaged by strong acting. The most fun comes whenever the three are performing; fans of Abba will be particularly pleased. --Tom Keogh The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert Extras Watch Director Stephan Elliot talk about the film's iconic costumes. An Interview with Priscilla Costume Designer Tim Chappel How much of costume design is your own inspiration / how much is inspired by the character? I rarely have creative free reign like I had on Priscilla. Priscilla was one of those rare situations where the powers that be said "Go for it". The characters are my babies. All design is meant to build character and help move the story along. Fortunately Mitzi, Felacia, and Bernardette were outrageous drag queens so that was not only easy bit great fun. Hard as it may seem, there are nuances that aren't obvious. For example when the queens are climbing Kings Canyon each of their headdresses are a distillation of their individual personalities. Bernardette is the Evil Queen, Mizti has lipsticks, rollers and pacifiers, and Felecia has Cupie dolls that are staring at themselves in little mirrors. What is the process of physically rendering the costumes? Do you build them by hand? Work with a team? Hit vintage stores? I usually begin by sketching roughs. Then once everyone has had their input - or cocked their leg as it seems more of the time, I do the finished sketches. These get signed off on literally becoming a visual contract. Then they get handed to the Costumier that builds a toile (a practice one). That gets fitted on the talent and we all um and ah--hopefully more ooh and ah if it's working well. Then we have a second fitting to perfect the fit and a final fitting to see the final project. On Priscilla however I simply grabbed whatever I had around or worked out which costume could be sacrificed and started gluing and sewing and hoping for the best. If something started to break there was always the hot glue gun and a handful of glitter to disguise any lumps and bumps. The costumes were literally finished when they would tear them out of my hands. Did any of the actors on Priscilla have any costume concerns? Was anyone concerned the costume would overpower their performance? The actors were all good sports. Terence told us he wanted to look like Holly Golightly but he soon gave up on that idea. He actually looked quite beautiful at times I thought. There was a moment at Kings Canyon when Terrence said that something was bothering his forward and I looked over to see a single drop of blood run down his brow--whoops, with only $12,000 US there was no room for comfort. What's the difference between cinematic fashion and street (real people) fashion? I.e., does it have to be "bigger" if it's on the screen? There are lots of differences between what you wear on the street, on stage, or in stills. Each medium requires special attention. For example in film you have to find out what kind of film stock is being used, what kind of filters and the general visual feel that the production designer and cinematographer are trying to go for. Of course the Director is trying to convey very specific ideas and using texture, color and contrast your job is to build, along with your team, that visual statement. The use of detail is also vital; sometimes you can't even see it but the actor will know its there and much detail, even though you can't literally see it, becomes absorbed in a more subconscious way. In your opinion, who looked the most beautiful (lead roles) in drag, who was the most fun to work with? They were all beauties. Guy Pearce had a background in musical theatre so he was prone to stealing the show. They were all great fun and still people I count as good friends. Any idea the film would take off to become an enormous hit and cult classic as well as meaning so much to fans around the world? We thought we were basically making a home movie; it wasn't until we had the 15-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival that we knew we had created a DRAG MONSTER! Where did you get the inspiration and know-how regarding costumes? Was there research involved? How did you get involved in doing this movie? I started with the music and let it send me in a delirious creative free fall and took notes as I spun. We got to have a buying trip to NYC in '92--WOW. I got to meet Girlina and Lasdy Bunny and all the voguing Queens--we were doing something totally different but Queens are trick everywhere aren't they. I got involved because Stephan needed a Costume designer who could do everything: design, sew and wear--if necessary. I was working as one of a pair of male backup dancers (an "earring") for a drag-queen troupe called Glamourworld. I used to make all our costumes and we were pretty successful. We even toured Asia going to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Ho Chi Mihn city--all on DragOn Air. How funny is that? What inspires you--what movies stand out to you as having great costumes? It all goes in and just comes out this way. I don't consciously look for inspiration. I like to think of myself as a creative distillery. If you could dress Oscar (of the Academy Awards) - what would you have him wear? My Oscar was on display in Australia's National Gallery in an Exhibition called "The Sights and Sounds of Australian Film." Oscar had purple hair and a disco tube dress. I butchered a Rock and Roll Barbie. She didn't seem to mind 'cause Oscar looked roool perty!

Alien Nation [VHS] Alien Nation [VHS]

 

Description

They get drunk on sour milk. They have two hearts and bald, spotted heads. They're highly intelligent, but if you drop them in seawater they'll melt into a puddle of goop. They're "Newcomers," and they arrived as refugees in a massive alien slave-ship, quarantined for three years and then reluctantly accepted as citizens of Earth. To some humans--including seasoned Los Angeles cop Matt Sykes (James Caan)--the Newcomers are unwelcome "slags." Sykes's own virulent "speciesism" intensifies when Newcomer thugs kill his partner, but he sees logic in teaming up with Sam Francisco (Mandy Patinkin), the first Newcomer detective in the LAPD. Francisco's Newcomer knowledge is vital to their investigation of an alien drug ring, and a friendship grows from life-or-death circumstances. A routine cop thriller with a comedic sci-fi twist, Alien Nation> has two things working in its favor: Caan and Patinkin form a memorable duo, and the basic premise--as conceived by Rockne S. O'Bannon (who later developed the film as a TV series)--intelligently accounts for the sociological impact of an alien population. The subtle point is made that humans are extraordinary beings who squander their potential, and the evil of drugs--as dealt by a social-climbing Newcomer played by Terence Stamp--leads to a crisis that threatens to generate global intolerance. These points are well presented in a context of overly familiar plotting and standard-issue sarcasm. It's entertaining for a brisk 90 minutes, but in its attempt to be widely appealing, Alien Nation glosses over issues that might have made it more uniquely provocative. --Jeff Shannon

What Is Metal Stamping?

Metal stamping is a process that is used in all types of manufacturing. It is a highly elaborate system using a combination of machine presses and pure craftsmanship. It is performed in rapid succession and involves various techniques for the type of shapes and designs that are being created. Any type of metallic product sold in the marketplace has been shaped and designed through the use of metal stamping.

Definition
Metal stamping is the industrial process of stamping or shaping designs on sheets of metal. A metal sheet alloy is stamped or pressed on a machine using dies and a hydraulic machine to create the designs.

Designs
Some of these designs are used to create familiar, everyday products such as sheet metal machines, car parts, audio/video devices, aerosol spray cans, pots and pans. Uses also include military tanks.

Types of Metal
Most types of metal are commonly used in metal stamping, though they are generally flexible and can be easily manipulated under the machine process. These metals include aluminum, zinc, steel, nickel, bronze, copper and certain other alloys. The metal is fashioned into sheets of various sizes and thicknesses. Metal presses are designed to shape and design all types of metal sheets regardless of size and thickness.

You can use stamping designs for much more than just scrapbooks and school materials. You can spruce up tired household items, decorate plain clothing and make personalized invitations and greetings cards, to name just a few. There are even various kinds of stamping inks and paints that work better with one material over another. Take a step back and make your own stamps with which to decorate your world. Involve the kids, too, because stamping is easy enough for them to do alone.

Lampshade Decor
Decorate a lampshade with stamps; the light will shine through them and illuminate your stamped shapes, producing great visual effects. Remove the lampshade from the lamp. Dip foam or rubber stamps into craft paint and press them firmly onto the lampshade with a smooth surface. Carefully rock the stamps back and forth to apply the paint around curved shades. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before replacing the shade and turning on the light.

Stamped Shirt
Use stamps on a tee shirt to create all kinds of designs and write favorite sayings. Dip stamp shapes or letters into fabric paint and press them onto a clean tee shirt. Write something funny, inspiring, cool, thought-provoking--whatever you want. Use "puffy" fabric paint to trace your stamps in 3D when the stamped paint is completely dry.

Food Stamping
Create your own stamps out of fruits and veggies. Kids have a lot of fun with this and it requires very few materials. Cut an apple in half, dip the inside surface into some craft paint and press it onto paper. All of the seeds and the outline of the apple come through in the stamped image. Try the same process with other fruits and vegetables, like mushrooms, citrus fruits, cucumbers and watermelon, for starters.

Greeting Cards
Create homemade greeting cards that you decorate with stamps. Use a blank piece of card stock as your card. Fold it in half so that it opens like a traditional greeting card. Press a rubber stamp onto an ink pad and then press it onto the surface of your card. Design the front of the card with stamped letters and shapes; allow the ink to dry. Once the front of the card has dried, do the same with the interior. 

Operation
Metal stamping occurs under a process that involves various machine parts working simultaneously. The machine press has two processes: the dies and punches. The die is a metallic tool mounted on the machine's table. It shapes the design that is being stamped onto the sheet of metal. The punch is a carbine or steel tool that is also shaped in the design that is being stamped but is much smaller and capable of clearing space between the die and punch. The carbine is mounted on the head of the press machine and punches designs into the metal in a rapid downward motion. Craftsmen are important in the stamping process to supply precision in the designs. They do this by employing other processes such as jig boring, grinding, electrical discharge machining (EDM) and lapping machines.

Techniques
Different techniques are used for specific jobs during metal stamping. This depends on the type of designs that are being punched into the sheet metal. Some of these techniques include deep-drawn stamping, which forms holes in parts of the sheet metal, and progressive die stamping, which rapidly designs small parts on sheets at the same time.

Starting With Postage Stamps Accumulating

There are lots of that revel in collecting. I know my mother enjoys accumulating absolutely anything, and the upstairs of her house proves simply that. Most have a miles narrower focal point on the other hand, and they make a selection only one or things to form collections. What each particular person does is dependent upon what they prefer, or they'll find something that is attention-grabbing, and can even be value a host of money one day. Those are the kind that usually like first of all postage stamps collecting. This passion will also be a large number of fun.

Earlier than you start, you must learn all you'll approximately postage stamps. There are many which might be price a lot of money, however as you may suspect, those are the hardest to find. As an alternative, begin to find out what one of the crucial such a lot commonplace are price, and learn how onerous they're to find. A few like to start by means of getting every new stamp that comes out once they start postage stamps collecting. They may not be worth the rest greater than their current worth as of late, however they could grow to be a helpful a part of any selection of postage stamps within the future.

Much like baseball playing cards and comedian books, you want stamps which are in very good condition. A few name this ‘mint’ but that is hard to find. You do need the most efficient you'll be able to to find while doing postage stamps collecting alternatively, so don’t opt for the primary of any stamp you to find until you realize it is very rare. Any other just right factor to know about postage stamps gathering is that those that experience not been cancelled out through the publish place of business (ones that have no longer yet been used to send mail) have probably the most value.

Perhaps an important a part of postage stamps amassing is to understand how to handle your stamps. You can get the rarest stamps on this planet but they don't seem to be going to hold so much value should you don’t know how to maintain them and lead them to last. You can find the proper ways to deal with your stamps by means of taking a look around on-line for recommendation, or via getting books printed to help the ones in postage stamps gathering to make the most of their stamps and their (with a bit of luck) emerging value. As with most paper products, air, mud, and humidity would possibly result in injury, so stay the ones all in mind while showing or storing your collection.
