Painting in philately
 

Make out the stamp collection.
In secret I will say that I am an avid collector.
A huge number of stamps were issued on the topic "Art" and "Painting".
And in the USSR they were produced much more than in other countries.
Probably not even less than "Lenniany.
I am preparing a small article in a specialized forum.
If you do not mind to post it here.
In the meantime, some pictures, not very successful, but nonetheless.

As a child, too, is actively collecting stamps. Now, of course, understand that amateurishly, unprofessional, but on that day "hits" were on the album.
Particular attention was paid to "the colonies" - English, Portuguese, Spanish, etc. For them went to Taganka, the phrase or alley, where was the biggest crush, and 30-40 cents (a lot of money!) Could buy a stamp and a couple of days to go " King "in the yard and brag.
A Soviet stamps purchased at the underpass at the Falcon on the road to a music school. To save money on stamps or had to walk or ride a tram instead of "hare" on the bus. When all the new stamps from the tray already been purchased, could afford to spend a dime for two buns with sauerkraut.
P.S. But are these "stamp-album" stamped somewhere on the shelves!

Colonia is a very interesting direction, and I collected a chronology and sobirayu.Prodolzhayu kollektsiyu.Kachestvo Papa's collections on the social status of the collector, if in 70-80 years, people could afford to spend 1,000 rubles per month, this is a serious collection.
And my dad was an engineer, that's the whole story.
In the 90's, when the money I have coming up, very seriously improved the quality kollektsiyu.Seychas periodically, something to get there.
I think that until the end lacked thousand 700.
So what works for another few years.

I have here is a suggestion!
I will get the album, very beautiful stamps stamp in a beautiful album, "Painting" "The Work of Art"
It seems very album can get, I have a lot of material, just afraid that would be lost.
If someone has to, I can collect and photo album to lay out.
Indeed, brands are very beautiful.
Tomorrow I'll start to collect, put a little

I'm in my childhood collecting stones.:) The crystals are different and others spend on it all the money, I remember collecting rubles for the year 30, and went to replenish the collection.

And where is she now?

And I have many years of collecting candy wrappers (wrappers from sweets and chocolate). Very rich collection was - 5 boxes of shoes full of candy wrappers ...:)

Something, just sporadically, left. And basically everything is lost, now would certainly be happy to look, but so was the period when the interest was lost (or rather, other interests have won) and should not be apart. Many gave away.
One of the most beloved crystal I for some reason broken, now have pieces of it.

I remember a stone, like a piece of rock outside a lab-gray, and one side was a "cave", and grew up in small crystals.

The crystals have magical powers, they must keep and cherish!

INCIDENTAL broken, or deliberately?
