From me to A&B - Oct - USPS Stamp article link

I have a feeling this already ran - but I like it well enough to re-run it. Or maybe I should add a second one. Or did I run all my halloween envelopes in 2019?

I do know that I have too many done with the wide 1-inch Copic marker. Is there anyone other than me who uses them? It's pointless to keep giving ideas for how to use them if nobody has them.

I think Rachael told me that she did not receive this one. That means that I must have posted them last year. But how could I have done that?

Aarrgghh.

I like that little cake.
I like the lettering - but I can't imagine it is inspiration for anyone.

GRRRR.

I can't remember if I already posted this.

It's a wonderful article about the designing of USPS stamps.

Submitted by the ineffable Jackie.

(The only reason I know that word is because Jackie used it on an envelope addressed to me)

Jan PTEX - Ab-Ex - to Holly, Tina, and Suzanne

The Abstract Expressionist stamps are so lovely - but I'd really need to get out some actual paint. This was done with markers and it's OK -

After I did this one, I did the one to Tina - and was happy that the 3 stamps would meet the requirement for international mail.

Then I had a lapse - and put three on Suzanne's. I guess I like it better with three.

Thank you to Finn who has some good links on his blog - this just in

I'd post one of the photos -- but it is hard to choose - they have some practical windbreakers and jackets - and then there are the tube tops and crop tops. It surprises me that the USPS is OK with someone else commercializing their designs.
