This is my L-entry for this round of A-Z Sunday Stamps.
Great stamp! As I said before, I like stamps that celebrate women! Great way to spread the knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them. I learn a lot when researching about the stamps. Most of the foreign stamps I get are about women I hadn't heard of.
DeleteSometimes I look at a face (on a stamp) and try to guess what the person does. Sculptor did not come immediately to mind.
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised to find one she was a famous sculptor. Also, I don't there are a lot of stamps dedicated to sculptors; but I might be completely wrong here.
DeleteYet again, another woman I am not familiar with. A lot to learn through stamps!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! :)
