I love many works of Shakespeare, especially Richard III., Macbeth, Hamlet, and The Tempest, but I don´t like most of his comedies. However, his wit and beautiful language sound (I often read his words loud) show up in those, too.
We don´t know much about The Bard who lived from 1564 to 1616, and only the Chandos portrait from about 1600/1610 probably shows us how he looked like. For my card, I´ve chosen a stamp that reproduces the portrait from Martin Droeshout, an engraving from 1623, that is based on the Chandos portrait and was used as a cover for the first folio of Shakespeare´s works.
Have you seen "Hamnet" already? I had watched another film about the same theme recently, "All is true" from Kenneth Branagh, but I prefer "Hamnet". What about you?
The Shakespeare stamp is from VLVS, and I combined it with stamps from Paper Artsy (Alison Bomber and Seth Apter), and Zettiology, and papers from Stamperia.
Do you like Shakespeare, and which is your favourite work? I can´t wait to see your interpretations this week!

A great example picture and a very fun challenge my friend.
Fantastic inspiration piece and great challenge. I love MacBeth, Othello, and Richard III. Have you seen Kenneth Branagh's Othello? I thought it was well done. I don't like the comedies, either, but I enjoyed Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing. It had some very dramatic (not comedy) parts to it.
Love all the stamping here, what a great collage and theme, thanks for hosting, xoxo
