Here is another Lichtenstein blast stamp - I think it is the third. The lettering is the weakest part. It should have been larger and maybe outlined with black and maybe overlapping a bit. Should I redo it? <pause to rummage around on my desk> This must be the second one - because I have two left.
I'm getting into my Knoll-mode - which reminds me that I have not talked about Knoll-ing. I had never heard of it - and during a conversation with Jackie - she couldn't remember what it was called - and then later emailed or texted me when she remembered the word. It was one of those AHA moments for me. It's a full blown *thing* that was named by a person who was not a professional at delving into personalities and how the mind works - so it's probably never going to get much attention - but OH.MY.GOSH - it's been a wildly exciting discovery for me. It deserves to be as well known as OCD. I suppose some people will think that it IS OCD. But - I don't think it is. Or maybe it could be - if carried to an extreme.
The Knolling thing I want to do with the Lichtenstein stamps is make a little wall chart that shows the progression of each stamp - and the way the ideas unfolded and hopefully improved. Not exactly Knolling - but related.
Briefly - Knolling is lining things up at right angles. Here is one article - there are others if you Google the word.

Rats - I already see that Janet's envelope is not an improvement - Sharon's is better. But the only reason that Sharon's is better is because the A is roughly in the center of a name with more than 5 letters and her last name fits so nicely inside the blast. I should have done Janet's name in a looser style. And her last name would have fit in the blast. What was wrong with me?
I think I like Janet's the best. It POPs!
