A collage of old timey stickers

I was never a big sticker person, but I have sometimes smiled to see how others use them, like the way my students put them all over their binders and laptops.
One of my favorite prop details from the most recent round of Mrs. Hawking shows were the canned goods we used in a brief, newly added scene set in a grocer's. We scrubbed the labels off some black bean cans and bought two kinds of stickers with old-timey, Victorian advertising vibe. The long rectangular sepia ones went on one side, and the colored ones of varying looks and sizes went on the other. If you look closely at them you see they're all kind of magic-y in tone, but at camera distance they made for really cute little period props. I was super happy with how they came out.

We had a lot left over, and I've been wanting to do something with them. I also mentioned I've been getting a lot of use out of this little plastic craft table that sits across your lap. I'd already stuck a couple stickers on it for the hell of it, and it's just a cheap little thing, so I figured what the hell. So I made a collage of the Victorian label stickers all across the work surface. I like all the muted colors against the gray background, and it looks cheerful and fun.
