Les Chats (Cats) by Ochoa Artistamps/Faux Postes

Such superb printing and such elegant subjects as paintings of cats by Isy Ochoa are on this set of SilverCrow's artists' artistamps. Usually only sold in the world's best museums, SilverCrow is proud to offer you our artistamps.

 

Presented in 5 by 6 inches sheets of 6 stamps each, with water-activated adhesive in the fashion of traditional postage. Each artistamp is approximately 1-9/16 by 2 inches.

Each of these sweet kitties is presented with sunflowers, a sun or a moon or another delight. The cats also feature a French quotation around each one:
