... Joseph Stella's 'Brooklyn Bridge' from the Modern Art in America 1913-1931 stamp sheet.
Thanks so much to Hester and Jean for playing along, it was a lot of fun to see what guesses you would make. All the ones from last week would have been fun - I didn't even consider any of those as options.

Bonus links today. If you haven't checked out some of Cara G's blog posts lately, you're really missing out.
She runs an anthropomorphic mail art project that is a lot of fun, and recently has had some incredible mail art from Philippe Charron.
The anthropomorphic mail art project
One of the most creative pieces of mail art I've seen - giraffe by Philippe Charron.
His home improvement monkey.
A cooking dog, with an amazing use of a postage stamp.
And his fantastic bears, made all the more beautiful by the cool French bear stamps.
There's also a jaguar general.

I think I should get .25th of a point for suggesting an artist/designer stamp...since the one you used and the one i suggested are both 20th century modern. while hester's bird suggestion was just fine, in terms of a nice color combination, i think i knew that an 20th century modern artist-designer was the way to go. that i did not pick the exact one is a minor detail. :-)
ReplyDeleteHopefully you like the bonus mail more than the bonus 1/4 point.
DeleteIt's always fun to see your stamp choices (and creative placement.)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that Hester and Jean were able to make such good guesses. I have no head for that. The only stamps I can picture are the ones in front of me right that moment.
Thanks!
DeleteThere are many great stamps out there (and some not-so-great ones). It can be fun to see if I can get a good match with an envelope. Definitely having the most fun 'hiding' Johnny Cash. I am always surprised when a current stamp goes well with a 20-year-old envelope.
