A Staffordshire artist has completed a controversial new project.
Peter Mason of Hednesford has created a portrait of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann out of postage stamps.
Video journalist Victoria Hoe went along to film the finished work and spoke to the artist.
Mr Mason was spurred on to complete his project quickly after receiving messages of support on this website.
The messages came after Victoria filmed him starting the work, which he hopes will give publicity to the hunt for Madeleine.

What an amazing and compassionate man to have put his talents and time to work in order to help Maddy’s cause in any way he could. It should make people take a step back and say “lets stop all the talking about it and do whatever we can to help”.

Great way to help maddy, Thank-you from me and my family,to the artist we all want Maddy found,I wish that a billboard with Maddy and other missing children would be put up all over the world in main cities, but a humble stamp will go all around the world and with Maddy on it.
I hope she is found. Safe and alive.

I think that this is a wonderful thing for anyone to do.
I am sure that the McCanns will welcome this with open arms, as it can go all over the world, with their daughters face on it.
Well done to this lovely man.

Saw this article and am absolutely blown away with what this artist has accomplished. He is amazing and such a compassionate man. Madeleine’s missing has brought so much emotion to all the world and we all need closure to this tragedy. This tribute to Madeleine will no doubt create more publicity which is what the search always needs. Art can heal the world and this artist proves it. So impressed with him. Thank you, sir.

I would also like to thank Victoria Hoe and the expressandstar.com for publishing your work. It’s very nice to see a positive effort by everyone still searching for Madeleine! She is truly “special” and worthy of everyone’s sacrifice in helping to aid the search for her. Keep up the great work.
