I decided to do my set of stamps on Illegal Dumping and Littering. It is a big problem in Ireland at the moment and I want to draw attention to it. I took some photos first and did some research into it.
I found that cigarettes make up 56% of litter in Ireland while chewing gum makes up 25%.
While researching old Irish stamps I came across the set of Irish butterflies. I thought they would make an interesting stamp if they were modernised and more styalised so I looked into facts about Irish butterflies. I found that their numbers are decreasing becuase their habitiats are being destroyed. This is another effect of dumping and littering.
My Stamps for the first Crit..
I tried to reverse the colours for this one.. put the bright colours of a butterfly on the rubbish and have the butterfly in black and white.
