A Really "BIG" (and fun) Job!
This challenging project involved painting a border around the full set of the 1987 American Wildlife Stamp
Issue that was mounted and canceled on a 10" x 13" Envelope. This individual in North Carolina has a whole
collection of these and I'm proud to have one of my designs included!

I'm working on a List of Cachet Requests for this Collector in Virginia. Each will be going on the schedule one at a time. As each one is completed the next is added to
the next available slot on the schedule...
Meaning it will take awhile to finish the
complete list.
Many of my Customers prefer to work it this way to "space out" the cost over time.

This customer wanted the two Add-On Cachets shown below to present
to her father on his birthday. A great idea for anyone who knows someone who served on a ship in the past. I do
a search for appropriate - "useable" covers and come up with a "one of a kind" design. Upon receiving
them the Customer sent this email response: "Bob, I received
the covers and they are fantastic! I'm sure these will be something my father cherishes forever. Thank you
for your talent and time. Without you I would never have surprised my father with anything like this." ... A.F.

Add-On Cachet Illustrations
Let me know if you have
an idea for an Add-On Cachet. I have a large inventory of "Blanks" from the sixties... to date.
Or, if you have a "blank" you may send it for the Add-On... the price will still
be the current rate for cachets. If you or I do not have existing
covers to add-on I will do my best to secure a cover suitable for your request.
*I
do reserve the right to decline any design idea for any reason.
Pricing for Special Requests will
vary according to the amount of time required for each requested design.
Contact me with your design ideas and we can negotiate a fair price.
The more
detailed and time consuming designs such as the oversized Wildlife Add-On will of course cost a little more.
