The stamps were printed in France by Cartor Security Printing.Visual world of Easter"The visual world of Easter is rather limited, so I chose the Easter egg", Taina explained. "It was important that the subject is religious, and I wanted to emphasise the importance of light, spring and new life."For the other stamp Taina drew the face of a small chicken. According to the artist, the picture was created almost by accident. He was making a small stamp-sized sketches to find inspiration, and the final subject, a pair of bright eyes and a beak, was found among other "doodlings". The cute bird was finished in the same shades of orange, yellow and blue as the Easter egg.
