European Stamp Prices & News

We came across a very interesting web page featuring pictures of computer keyboards covered in stamps.

The person who did these (identified only as “Andy”) apparently does this just for fun — covering a keyboard with stamps (usually from one country only) and giving them away to his presumably bemused friends. Each key in the pictures here features a person’s portrait, giving a kind of pleasing uniformity to what could be (and in fact still is) a chaotic piece.

These stamps are from the United States, although the guy also has made keyboards from the USSR, Albania, and others. Our favorite, of course, is when he uses stamps from all over the world and mixes them all together.

If you would like to do something similar, you should put a lot of work first into selecting which stamps you’re going to use and where they’ll go. Then coat them liberally with a type of glue that fixes well to plastic, and seal the lot with a thin shellac or something similar. Refasten the keys, make sure they work (!) and you’ll be the envy of every technical-minded philatelist on your block.

And if you cover your whole computer, including mouse, monitor, etc, by all means let us know about it here!
