The Stamps and the Senses


Issued: 2.10.2009

"On the block, produced in cooperation with the Portuguese Association for the Blind and Partially Sighted (Associação de Cegos e Amblíopes de Portugal – ACAPO), all the information appears repeated in Braille characters and on the limited space of the stamp, the word Braille can also be read in both types of characters. The remaining stamps of this issue are dedicated to each of the five senses, allowing for experiencing real physical interaction: the touch feels the embossed ink coming out of the tube; the smell receives the aroma of the cup of coffee; the sight detects holographic images on the spectacle lenses that change according to the position of the stamp; the taste identifies the flavour of vanilla on the glue of the stamp that shows an ice-cream; the ear is sensitive to the noise made by the file when you rub its rough surface."

A380 Covers Catalogue

Hello, Hope this finds you all well. Been a while since I posted here but I just opened blogspot and this opened.. very odd. So thought hey I would write. Some of you are interested in aviation and aerophilately I know, so I thought I'd introduce a project I have just completed - as far it can be completed. A Covers catalogue for cddstamps (and some others) A380 flight covers.

I hope you have some time to view. If you enjoy seeing the covers, and pictures of crew I am sure you will enjoy looking around. It will take a while as every different cover is scanned, and as I say, there are pictures of crew signing. There is an Introduction Page, then a Table of Contents page with various boring details if you wish to buy a cover. Just one obvious point perhaps, if you view a picture just click back arrow to return to previous page. I have not had time to get too sophisticated in the code. Of you can access everything from the cddstamps website home page
If you find an error or bad link please let me know. I have tested it but I could have missed something. email as always at cddstamps@gmail.com
Have a great weekend, Best wishes ............. Michael
