Link Tips New Stamps Popular Service | Finland: EasterTwo new special stamps of 3.60 mk
On 2 April 2001 Finland issued two new special stamps of 3.60 mk. The stamps were designed for Easter greetings by the graphic artist Mr Hannu Taina. 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.
