Sunday Stamps: Black and White

 Hello and welcome to my contribution to Sunday Stamps.  It's Sunday morning and I am sipping my coffee.  Once again I surveyed the pages of the USA Postal Service and found a set of stamps, just released on Aug. 13, 2020.

There's a little color there, but mostly black and white!  These stamps feature the wire sculptures of Ruth Asawa  (1926 - 2013),  a Japanese- American artist who did drawings, painting, prints, and large public projects.  The wire sculptures are shown on the stamps.

More information is at:  https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/ruth-asawa-S_476304.

A closer view of one stamp:


I don't have these stamps in hand, I am using the images from the USPS website.

Sunday Stamps - Big Animals

 Hello and welcome to my stamp and postcard blog.

The theme this week is big animals.

I decided to go really big this Sunday:

This stamp is actually from China I believe.  It's hard to read the gold lettering in this scan.  One of the stamps I received when I was part of Postcrossing.

Sunday Stamps: Food

Hello and welcome to my contribution to Sunday Stamps.  This week's theme is food.

I am exploring the breadth of recent stamps put out by the US Postal Service, and wouldn't you know, they just released this set of fruit and vegetable stamps:


Done in the style of still life paintings, and looking very yummy.  You can learn more about these stamps at this link.

(I have been switched over to the new Blogger interface and I don't like it!)
