As I endure the pain of sending the last of a favorite stamp off into the world, I always hope I come up with a good idea for the final mailing. If I had time, I would go back and look at what my ideas were for this stamp. Maybe they weren't very good. Maybe this was one of those stamps that I just loved - but only did ho-hum envelopes. We'll never know.
The good news is that I like this idea. Troy's was done first and I like it even though that red O in BROOKS is pitiful.
I was happy with Kerry's - although her longer last name does not allow for a design that is as good as Troy's. I should have done PETER larger and then done a small MAN, stacked or sideways. Or, better yet, a little stick-figure-man. Spoiler alert - if Kerry sticks with the exchange - I have lots of fun ideas.
Mia got left for last and I was pretty happy with how it came out. It's not very skillful in the lettering but we are pretending that I am completely untrained in lettering and calligraphy. It's perfectly fine for someone who just likes the alphabet.
There was one stamp left so I used it on a non-exchanger, non-lettering artist, non-artist.
I have mixed feelings about those black bars. There's a reason for them - but not a rational one.
