Stamp Requests

Stamps with 'hello' in various languages. Eg: привет , 你好 , ഹലോ .

Russian folklore and fairy tales feature a number of characters known by every kid, so I thought it might be an interesting idea to have a set dedicated to them. These characters are also known in other Eastern European countries, although names and spelling may vary. I suggest a set of 6 stamps: Баба Яга (Baba Yaga) The main female antagonist. She flies around in a mortar, wields a pestle, and dwells deep in the forest in a hut usually described as standing on chicken legs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga Иван-царевич (Ivan Tsarevich) Sort of "Prince Charming", saves damsels in distress and defeats evil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Tsarevich Кощей (Koschei) The main male antagonist. An evil sorcerer, who is kept immortal or deathless by a spell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koschei Змей Горыныч (Zmei Gorynich) Three-headed dragon with a thing for kidnapping women. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zmei_(Russian) Василиса Прекрасная (Vasilisa the Beautiful) Not exactly a stock character, but probably the best-know female protagonist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilisa_the_Beautiful Жар-птица (Firebird) Pretty much a phoenix, whose feathers posses magical qualities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebird_(Slavic_folklore)

A set with everyone's favourite characters from everyone's favourite book . Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly Alice in Wonderland ) is an 1865 English novel by Lewis Carroll. Here are just a few facts about it: One of the best-known works of Victorian literature, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have had huge influence on popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. The book has never been out of print and has been translated into 174 languages. Its legacy covers adaptations for screen, radio, art, ballet, opera, musicals, theme parks, board games and video games Luckily for us, both books, Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass are in the public domain and can be used for Slowly stamps. Important #1 : I do not take credit for this idea, as it originally belongs to Савва Р. and was first suggested here . This request is in English with a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure - hopefully it can get some support. Important #2 : I am suggesting this as a global set, since the book is a true classic loved all around the world. However, if someone feels that this should be a UK-only set, feel free to drop a comment. On the left you will see Sir John Tenniel’s Classic Illustrations and on the right, stamp mock-ups based on the Soviet animation film, which you can watch with English subtitles here . List of characters with individual links. Alice holding the potion that says "Drink Me" The White Rabbit The Cheshire Cat The Caterpillar The Hatter The Queen of Hearts

A picture of a bottle floating on a moonlit tide with a note inside because that’s the first image that came into my mind after I joined: of a message in a bottle, bobbing on rippling waves and blown by gentle winds to an unknown shore. Perhaps in a far-off land. Perhaps somewhere closer. But exciting either way!

There is a severe lack of book themed stamps. would love to have stamps like a stack of books and a shelf or something similar

Leo Tolstoy, Alexander Pushkin, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ivan Turgenev, Mikhail Bulgakov, Anton Chekhov, Nikolai Gogol

These stories are known and loved by millions of people all around the world. They would make an amazing set with each of the stamps telling their own story: 1) Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp Luckily for us, Disney doesn't own this tale. Stamp with the Jinn (Genie) would be perfect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin 2) Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Baba_and_the_Forty_Thieves I guess everyone knows the plot, so I was thinking something with the treasures and the cave, but there other options as well 3) Sinbad the Sailor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinbad_the_Sailor There are many ideas and many creatures/monsters here, because Sinbad traveled near and far. I was thinking about something with the giant bird, but there's a lot to choose from. 4) Scheherazade The main storyteller, who outsmarted the murderous sultan and stayed alive by telling him stories every night withouth finishing them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade 5) Prince Ahmad and the Fairy Peri-Banu https://arabiannights.fandom.com/wiki/The_Story_of_Prince_Ahmed_and_the_Fairy_Paribanou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri Peri can be decribed as a female jinn. Integral to the Persian mythology, and also present in the tales from 1001 nights. I think another stamp with a female character is needed, and this one would be perfect. 6) Magic Carpet Not exclusive to Arabian Nights, but it's hard to imagine the set without it. Within the same tale, Prince Hussain, the eldest son of the Sultan of the Indies, travels to Bisnagar (Vijayanagara) in India and buys a magic teleporting tapestry, also known as a magic carpet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_carpet

ShahNameh is a long epic poem written by the Persian poet Ferdowsi between c. 977 and 1010 CE and is the national epic of Greater Iran. Consisting of some 50,000 "distichs" or couplets (two-line verses),[2] the Shahnameh is one of the world's longest epic poems. It tells mainly the mythical and to some extent the historical past of the Persian Empire from the creation of the world until the Muslim conquest in the seventh century. Iran, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and the greater region influenced by Persian culture such as Armenia, Dagestan, Georgia, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan celebrate this national epic.[3] The work is of central importance in Persian culture and Persian language, regarded as a literary masterpiece, and definitive of the ethno-national cultural identity of Iran.[4] It is also important to the contemporary adherents of Zoroastrianism, in that it traces the historical links between the beginnings of the religion and the death of the last Sasanian emperor, which brought an end to the Zoroastrian influence in Iran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahnameh https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/157985.Shahnameh https://www.amazon.com/Shahnameh-Persian-Book-Kings/dp/0143104934

FIRST !! i am aware that we already have a set for some books. However !! i think most people relate much more to Hugo, whether in france or in the world, and would recognise his work or characters ( thanks to disney too haha). So that's why it would be terrific to have this set. i love the Jules Verne set that we have, i bought it the second i saw it. And i think there is an opportunity of doing the same with Victor Hugo's novels !! But in a different way. First, it could be a set, with a stamp for each of his works. One for The hunchback of notre dame, another for Les miserables, which could represent famous scenes... For his shorter works, scenes too would be adequate. OR, it could represent one character from each novel OR ( my personal favourite) it could represent only one of his work, like for instance The hunchback of notre dame, and make a set with a representation of all the amazing characters. I tried to represent it, and i'll link the images. I picked a grey outlined, because i thought that since most of his work were really tragic it would match the vibe. Behind the characters is Hugo's actual handwriting of the novel, but it could also be used as the outline which would be amazing and very different from all the monochromatic outlines we now have. And represented down here is a version in color, which features a modern representation of esmeralda, and an another version, which i think way cooler, representing an drawing of what is supposed to be claude frollo( it isn't, it's just for the exemple ), in an ancient style. I think it could be cool to re use some old illustration of the characters that we have. The "vintage" style would be amazing, because it's sooo different from what we already have. It looks more serious, more expensive, and it would definetly catch the eye of anyone recieving it. it would be eyecatching along all the colorful stamps we have for france, especially with the handwriting thing and the dark outline. Please vote if you like my idea, i would sooo buy this set if it existed !!
