Description

This Love series stamp, issued in 2016 but valid forever, features an elegant heart created using the ancient art of quilling. Quilling - also called paper filigree - involves rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper, laying them on their edges, and gluing them in place to form intricate designs. The heart shape in the center of the stamp art is made from paper strips of many colors and is surrounded by white paper swirls. The background is white with shadows cast by the dimensional pieces of quilled paper. Art director Antonio Alcal designed the stamp. Paper artist and illustrator Yulia Brodskaya created the stamp art. This listing is for a sheet of 20 stamps.
