Stamp Requests

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)

Seeing how the stamp achievements category have been a bit neglected, I came up with a cool idea to help boost it. I reckon it would be a great idea to have a stamp that can only be achieved when you exchange a certain amount of letters with a pen pal. For this idea, I prepared a mock-up and as you can see, I named it "Slowsties" which originates from Besties* + Slowly = Slowsties. The stamp is to be unlocked after exchanging 50 letters. As I said, it can be changed to any amount the dev team see fit and "Slowsties" can be changed (although I think it's a brilliant name but I'm biased for sure). And of course the design could be improved, too. Thank you for reading. I hope you like my idea. *Besties = a person's best friend.

Brazil is gigantic to be represented by just one stamp. Could you add some local stamps to better represent Brazil? Examples: SÃO PAULO Avenida Paulista: wiki Av. Paulista . Sao Paulo Museum of Art: MASP , wiki MASP . Ibirapuera Park: site Ibirapuera , wiki Ibirapuera . RIO DE JANEIRO Sugarloaf Mountain: site Bondinho , wiki Pão de Açúcar . PARANÁ Iguazu Falls: wiki Iguazu Falls , site Iguazu Falls . Botanical Garden of Curitiba: site Botanical Garden . BAHIA Pelourinho: wiki Pelourinho . Lacerda Elevator: wiki Lacerda Elevator . MARANHÃO Lencois Maranhenses: wiki Lencois . RIO GRANDE DO SUL Archaeological Site of São Miguel das Missões: wiki Sao Miguel . MATO GROSSO DO SUL Blue Lagoon Grotto: tour guide . GOIÁS Chapada dos Veadeiros: wiki Chapada . AMAZONAS Amazon Forest Amazon Theater: wiki Theater . BRASILIA Cathedral of Brasilia: wiki Cathedral . This is just to name some of the main Brazilian tourist attractions. extra link 1 , extra link 2

Brazilian Mythology is very rich. The stamp set could include the following creatures: Bumba Meu Boi ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumba_Meu_Boi ) Boto ( https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/11/pink-dolphin-botos-brazil-amazon/617080/ ) Caipora ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caipora ) Curupira ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curupira ) Iara ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iara_(mythology) ) Mula Sem Cabeça ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_Mule ) Saci ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saci_(Brazilian_folklore) ) Other possible creatures are mentioned in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_mythology

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

Cheese is a food that have various forms and is enjoyed all over the world. Even if it is not (key) part of every country's cuisine, I feel like it is big enough to have its own stamp. What do you think? The National Cheese Day is on the 4th of June. Or maybe there could even be a premium set of like six most common cheeses? Thank you 💕

Since we have a rainbow flag already, I thought it would be nice to have more colourful Pride flags. The most common ones are: lesbian, bisexual, non binary, transgender, asexual and pansexual. There are a lot of gender/sexuality identities and I didn't want to forget about any so I hope you guys will give some positive feedback 😊 Reddit source since the first image isn't mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/gmnyxe/i_made_this_flag_graphic_you_might_find_it/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

We have some amazing zodiac stamps, but what about some other cool constellations for astrology fans? I think some of the ones featured in: https://www.artofmanliness.com/skills/manly-know-how/15-constellations-every-man-should-know/ could look really good. I like to draw and have a few ideas, so if you'd like some more supporting information please feel free to get in touch! I hope you like my suggestion!

Since there is an amazing coffee stamp set, I thought it might be cute to have a boba companion set (especially given that it's trending at the moment). I have a few ideas on how to draw them, which deviate from any references I've seen, but I also like: I hope you like my suggestion, and please feel free to get in touch if you'd like any more information!

What is the set? A set which celebrates and showcases some of the art movements in the western world. Why this set? A lot of slowly users appreciate art. I believe with the new slowly feature of showing favourite stamps, having a stamp that looks like a work of art would be superb to see. It will also add a great discussion point for new connections as people can talk about their favourite artist and maybe about their own art! What will bring the set together? The usual stamp border will be in gold so that the design on each stamp looks like it is being framed. Each stamp can either feature a painting that is emblematic of the movement or feature an artist of that movement. See the Starry Sky by Van Gogh example with this Stamp Request! What/who should be featured in the set? Romanticism There are a lot of key artists here, it may be best to review some of the more iconic art pieces such as Wanderer over the sea of fog, Liberty leading the people, The 3rd of May 1808 Renaissance Leonardo Da Vinci is a clear influence here with famous works like Mona Lisa or the Vitruvian Man. Surrealism Salvador Dali is an excellent artist of surrealism, melting clocks would be an iconic piece. We could also consider Son of Man by René Magritte. Pop Art Andy Warhol is the most iconic of this style, I believe the four tone Marilyn Monroe or “Slowly” soup can would be the most iconic and would look great on profiles/letters. Expressionism Van Gogh is a key painter of this style, any of his works could work here including starry night and sunflowers would work superbly. How will it be released? As a premium stamp set for 100, maximum 6 stamps in the set. When will it be released? World Art History Day (April 15th) Inktober (October) [Art is heavily featured on social media] Mermay (May) [Another month of art being actively shared on social media] Leave a comment with how you could improve this stamp set and nay suggestions for other art movements, artists and art that could be featured in the set!
