Books and Cats stamp set ?
Yann2
I find that many of us Slowly users tend to be both Cat and Book lovers.
All the Cat-themed stamp issues did well - my favourite being the gorgeous '
Purrfect Holidays
' set, still available via the Time Machine.The suggestion would be for
a set of stamps presenting both of those passions
. I follow a great account on Twitter called 'Reading with Cats' and delight on the imagery she posts and shares on this theme. https://twitter.com/bookcatblissSome examples included here, art work taken from her account.
Thank you, and please comment if you have any suggestions or ideas on this!

A stamp with a New Yorker magazine cover - which would fit this theme really well.

And another idea, another new mock-up stamp.
Now using a Slowly Stamp frame, and it can really give us an idea of what it could look like.
Inspired from
Valeriane Duvivier's artwork
, posted on this Tweet by Reading with Cats
Also attaching the transparent stamp frame if anyone wants to use it.
edit : and also adding a new version done by a friend, with the table and chair bigger, overlapping the stamp frame - which I think looks great, thank you Nonethewiser! 🙂👍

And just now I thought, why not try to make a Mock-up set, of 6 nice stamps with the Books and Cats theme proposed here?
So I did. I used the nice
Canada Post PicturePostage site
, and can share these as an idea of what they could look like.The images used are all from Twitter posts from the wonderful Books and Cats account. I follow it and delight with the many nice works she shares.
Credit to each artist was posted with the original images. We cannot take these and use for a commercial endeavour like the Slowly stamps without licensing them, but this goes to show how a varied style set on a given theme could be refreshing, in my opinion.
Slowly team could contract their own free lance design studios and produce a nice and varied style set as well? They do have a lot of skill as demonstrated in many of the nice stamps and sets.

And a new mock-up Canadian stamp I just made with one of those images (via Canada Post's site)

I like this idea a lot. Many of my penpals are cat lovers. And this is an interesting combo. I'd use the heck out of this set if it was available.

Bajaja: Glad to hear that!
I also think it would be a hot item, a lovely combo of interests in one. Cheers!

This is such a lovely and cozy idea! Many users on Slowly are avid readers, and this set will definitely resonate with them - not to mention all the cat lovers. Thank you for suggesting this, you have my support! :)

Nonethewiser: Thank you for the support!
This could make a lovely stamp set for sure. Even to have different artists, design styles would be nice - the variety of images I see on '*
