    Hello Charnie, the sparrow stamp you bought Fron Kyrgyz Express Post is from the bottom of a sheet of 5 stamps + label, so you have the stamp and se-tenant label.
    The mushroom sheetlet that came with the stamp is, I suspect, actually stamp-like labels. KEP tends to do that, so have no postal validity, but very nice to have. I have several of the label issues, but not the mushroom one, so I'm a little envious. I recently (a couple of months ago) put in an order from KEP, but they didn't send me any of their labels. The mushroom labels are based on a set of stamps featuring poisonous mushrooms issued in 2019.
    KEP issues some lovely stamps and has issued 'Bird of the Year' stamps since 2019. I believe I sent you the one of the White-browed Tit-warbler from 2020.
    After mushrooms, birds are my next favourite theme to collect. I love the Malawi sheet of bird stamps. It looks as though it was designed by Jennifer Toombes, an English artist who has produced stamp designs for many countries. Stamps designed by her are referred to as Toombsiana and there are people who collect that as a theme. Personally, I am (mostly) very fond of her artwork.
    Regarding how to place a stamp from a sheet in an exhibition, basically there are two ways (that I am aware of. The first is to tear the stamp you want from the sheet and include it in your exhibit the same way that you would any other stamp. Personally, the thought of doing that makes me feel quite ill as it seems like vandalism and a sacrilege. The second way is what I prefer but is a little trickier and takes a bit of organisation. Basically, it involves mounting the sheet on a page. you then need to place another sheet over the top of that, locate where the stamp is on the sheet underneath and then cut a hole in the top sheet to reveal just the stamp that you want to exhibit. The top sheet then becomes the page on display. The tricky thing is that (a) you have to cut the hole in just the right place on the top sheet, and (b) you then have to arrange all your other stamps and the writeup around the hole, which can take a bit of organising, so try not to be too fixed on your layout before you see what your restrictions are. Since you have two stamps in sheets you wish to exhibit, it would be easiest to have them on different sheets, so that you don't have to overlap them and potentially run out of room. If you need to have both stamps on the same page, my advice would be to lay the two sheets on the backing sheet to see if it is possible and then work from there. Luckily the stamp you want is on the left-hand side on one sheet and on the right-hand side on the other sheet, so that will make it easier for you. If you have a light box or a glass topped table where you can put the stamps and the top sheet and then shine a bright light through from underneath and the lightly pencil in where you need to cut the hole(s), that will make it easier. I hope all that makes sense. Good luck! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

      Hi Steve, thank you for an excellent and highly informative comment as always!!! Your knowledge is immense! I pinned your comment.
      Thank you for the information about the Kyrgyz Express Post and their labels and stamps! I think the Tit-Warbler is the stamp that I loved so much! You gave me such wonderful, wonderful stamps. My head spins and I am excited all in once when I opened your mail!
      The information about the artist of the Malawi stamp sheet and Jennifer Toombes. Toombsiana - 🙂
      Thank you about the information about the way to show one stamp from a sheet in an exhibit. It is complicated! The sheets I need to accommodate is part of a phylogenetic tree of the Robin-Chat species, and there will not be much wiggle room in placement. I am starting to think to leave out some of the stamps, even though it might deteriorate the exhibition in variety and number of stamps. There is only one stamp of the Cape Robin-Chat, and to show all the stamps of the other Robin-Chats I thought sort of carries the exhibit. Oih! But it should be fun, and if I don't want to break up a sheet and cannot use a stamp, even though I bought it, it must be fine.
      Thank you again a thousand times, Steve!!!!!!

      Hi Ryan!!! Wow, it is an honour for me that you took the time to watch one of my videos!! I wish I had your immense knowledge to share, because I love to teach people new things, but I am mostly still clueless, and my videos rather mostly just show nice stamps. 🙂Thanks again so much for watching and for commenting! I appreciate it so much! Note: I do not collect US stamps, so my videos will most likely not be of concern for you. It is perfectly fine if you don't continue watching more of them! 🙂

      Hello Rick! Wow! Since ''meeting" you all kinds of wonderful thinks are happening! I thought I will have to leave that stamp out of the exhibit. It would have been just too difficult, if not impossible to fit the stamp into its specific place in a phylogenetic tree and keep the sheet in tact. Now I will have two of the Malawi birds!!!!!!!!!! It is amazing. How can I thank you enough? Thank you also for watching and commenting! It means a huge lot to me!

    Hello Charnie, that first bird mini sheet was beautiful, very nice. The rest of the stamps are very nice, too, I must get round to doing my bird thematic collection.The Robin chat is a nice bird. Unfortunately, we don't get them in the UK, but we do have a robin that's a lovely bird. Good luck with the exhibition, take care.

      Hi Jerry! Love to see you here! I also think the first bird mini sheet was beautiful. So many birds on one sheet to enjoy, and pictured in their habitats. 😍 I enjoyed to get to "know" all the Robin-Chats. The Robins and Robin-Chats are in the same family. I would love to see your bird stamps! Thanks for the good luck with the exhibition. I need it!!! I don't have all the right equipment, like an excellent printer. But, it is for fun. 🙂I hope your back is fine! Take care!
