The yellow one scans well, but looks a bit insipid in person. My favorite from the set is the snowman on the 2nd class stamp.
And here are the other two birds stripygoose sent ;)

Secular Christmas Sunday Stamp from Stripygoose
This Royal Mail stamp on an envelope from stripygoose is one of the set that celebrates traditional holiday activities.
The yellow one scans well, but looks a bit insipid in person. My favorite from the set is the snowman on the 2nd class stamp.

I've got two of the British set: the one you posted first, and the Christmas tree.. Actually, I've already got four of t latter!
ReplyDeleteI received a snowman late this week.
DeleteThe snowman scan shows up the the 3D nature of the paper art more strikingly than when one sees the stamp on an envelope.
ReplyDeleteHaving received one this week, I agree. Perhaps this is one stamp design where the details are lost in the small size of a stamp.
DeleteThe snowman is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like that these do not use traditional colours.
I wonder f the colors *somewhat* match the regular colors for Royal Mail definitive stamps? Blue is on second class, red (a robin) on first. The definitive 1.33 is amber yellow. My theory kind of falls apart after that, as 1.52 is orchid mauve for the definitive, yet green for the Christmas stamp.
DeleteI don't think I received any from these set. I agree, the snowman stamp is nice. Strippygoose artwork steals the scene from the stamps though ... the multicolor on the bottom left is very nice.
ReplyDeleteHer art is wonderful. I feel lucky to be exchanging mail art with her.
DeleteI agree that the snowman is the best of the British set although I haven't actually seen the others.
ReplyDeleteThey are very nicely designed, they just don't look quite as good in person, which is a shame.
