Sunday Stamps # 19

In which we share any stamp we wish, or Mother's Day stamps, if we have any.  Which I don't, alas.  So I am going to share a stamp illustrating my next theme:


Folk Culture or handcrafts from your nation, or any nation.  I have some USA stamps I'll share.  This stamp from Canada is a piece of art that references Native American art from the Northwest.
Here is another from China:



So share a stamp or two today, and make a note about next week.

Theme next week: stamps that feature folk handcrafts such as textiles, costumes, pottery, wood carvings, paper crafts, or even food. I'll have a theme for folk festivals, dance, theatre, sport etc. at a later time.

    The Chinese stamps look like some kind of embroidery - nice. I love the pow wow stamp as well. I am such a fan of indigenous art! Looking forward to next week's theme... I have quite a number of stamps under this theme :)
    Have a great Sunday!

    Nice to have a 'pow-wow' about stamps. Great Canadian stamp.

    I like the contrast between the two stamps, art form and culture.

    The sewing or beadwork on the Chinese stamp is really pretty. I shall have to have a browse through my stuff to find something for next week's theme (a good excuse to get it all out :) ) thanks

    The two stamps are so different and yet both beautiful.
