Holy moly the little stones were teensy weensy and for some reason I committed to inking them in various colors… like a chump. I had some messy fingers when that was done! The little flowers were quite a bit easier probably mostly due to using a marker instead of ink pads.
@AIMR@sheepBlue I’m not sure that my uncle will even be able to see the details on the stones due to his poor eyes, but… I agree it was worth it! It’s not like I’m not in the habit of regular hand-washing these days, right?
Yes, they usually do, because they are think and lumpy. One like this will probably only require the hand-cancel upgrade (70 cents, I think), but some of them end up using quite a large envelope and take more. I went ahead and bought a variety of stamps so I can put lots of pretty little pieces of self-adhesive art on them rather than just the label the printer at the USPS counter makes, though.
