dc:92 Postage Stamp
Our wonderful friend Helen, is the host for this weeks' drawing challenge. She chose postage stamp for the theme, and I knew instantly that I would utilize the snake stamp that Canada offers for this year for the celebration of the 'Year of the Snake.'
So, I found a snake image to do a gel image transfer onto an envelope. I did that with mostly success, but then when I typed in the address, my old typewriter got finicky about doing a carriage return. I should remember to help it by partially 'feeding' it as it manually scrolls up to the next line. As a result, this envelope is a bust and I didn't bother affixing the postage, but really, I learned a bit by doing this one, and so hopefully the next one I do will be better.
Helen, you can look for this in the mails fairly soon (I hope.)

Hello Norma, these snakes stamps are really great and I really love your transfer and the little accident with your typewriter give this little extra kick, which is great.

Norma, I got confused at first because we recently had the d.c. theme of Snake. WHat a fun repeat spun anew. what fun to be able to send your snakes around the globe. I agree with Roberto, The ampersand is amazing.
