Abstract

In the front surface of a stamp, there are pictures, figures and motifs printed with various colors, and the back surface is thick with a special gum. However it is laceless occasionally; there are nails called lace around it and generally in the shape of rectangle, square, sphere and rarely triangle; in various forms and sizes. Stamps are an outlook on life and reflect the history, art, culture, the environmental and natural sciences, anthropology, astronomy, medicine and the ins and outs of a society. However small in size, they are historical documents of great importance in terms of human values. Stamps are not only reflection and symbol of its country, but also reflect material&moral values and culture of a country. However small in size, stamps are great work of art. The "Descriptive Research Design" method was applied in this study. The area of the study is nature-themed stamps in the "T.R. DG of Turkish Post, Stamps Museum". Selected samples are butterfly, owl and flamingo which are suitable objects for clothing design.
