stamps.

today i sent the first handwritten letter i've mailed out in a long time. i prettied up the upper right hand corner with one of the 'pollination' stamps from usps. specifically the bat one.

artist steve buchanan created the four stamps arranged in two alternate blocks that fit together like interlocking puzzles. in one block the pollinators form a central starburst; in the other block the flowers are arranged in the center. i think that it's great that they played around with the overall design as well as making each individual stamp interesting. here are some other stamps with neat designs, from flickr member david mcfarline.
