2012 Art Canada series
the domestic stamp features Fafard's bovine sculpture Smoothly She Shifted, the US stamp shows Dear Vincent and the international stamp has a trio of Fafard's Capillery laser cut steel horses Sunday Stamps
I was kind of surprised that there were three rates. I think the last time I sent a letter to Canada, it didn't cost extra or maybe 1¢ (long ago!) The USPS rates are so difficult to find that I couldn't find the price to Canada now without going through a lot of calculator steps and then finding that it is the same as other international rates.
I've been sent horses stamps but didn't realise they were part of a mini sheet. I've now looked up his laser cut horses , they look marvelous galloping as a whole.
I had to look up Joe Fafard and to find out who 'Dear Vincent' was. The stamps with the horses is super.
ReplyDeleteI love these! I have received the cow (http://vachequiritpostalproject.blogspot.com/2013/07/so-bilingual.html).
ReplyDeleteWe have coincided in Vincent... :D
I wish I had visited the Montreal museum when I was there. Wonderful works.

ReplyDeleteI think this is one of my favourite stamp sheets! Alas I've received non of these, but thanks to you we still can enjoy this sheet.
