The Art of Magic
Vanishing
Cover Announcement
This is the fifth and final cover in the Magic set. It's been a fun subject to work with, and my individually hand painted cachets actually turned out better than I had anticipated. If you missed out on ordering any of them, please make sure you get them now - remaining sets are low in supply.
This was an unusual cachet to paint as the challenge was to make the tiger appear to be disappearing before the eyes of the audience and in this case, before you the collector! The big cat is vanishing from left to right, so the back portion of his body is almost gone already with just a hint of color and then in graduating intensity as you look to the right, he is still in full and magnificent color. But....in another instant he will be gone to the delight of the audience.
The stamps for the intriguing subject of magic are large, well designed, and visually very attractive. I think the cachets are quite creative and of course the hand painting makes them miniature works of art. The elusive tiger on my Magic - Vanishing cover is now ready. Collins # B5805 at $15.00.
