unconsumption: New York-based artist Molly Rausch paints the extended scenes around the edges of postage stamps, imagining the continued horizons and broader stories told by stamp artwork.  (via Colossal) Did any of y’all collect stamps when you were a kid — enjoying the process of tearing the postmarked/stamped corners off envelopes, soaking the torn pieces in hot water to remove the stamps, then carefully drying the stamps? I did, which could explain, in part, why I find objects made from stamps appealing.  Visit Molly’s site to check out some of her other work, like this Monopoly piece:
