Special Delivery
Many thanks for following Drawn In and for your many “likes” and comments throughout the year. It is quite a remarkable thing to send artwork out into the world. You don’t know where it will land or what people will think of it or who it may touch. But therein lies the simple beauty of it. I’m grateful that you are on the other end of this nebulous network that connects us!
A note about this artwork: I created eight arctic stamps this year as part of a Christmas letter I write each year from the North Pole to several special children. I included the stamps in a different format in the Christmas letter, but thought they made a nice collection when viewed together. Have a wonder-filled and Merry Christmas!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun with those stamps. Could have kept going, but just don’t have the time! I’ve printed them and cut them for gift tags, too, so they are getting good use. Thanks for following!
All best wishes for the festive season and the year ahead Jean!

Thanks Karen– fun to do! Merry Christmas!
Love your stamps! They remind me of the ones that JRR Tolkien created for the Father Christmas letters he wrote for his children each year.
Tolkien is my inspiration. I was just looking at his stamps last night. He’s genius!
Thank you for inspiring me with your beautiful art! 😍 I like your “handmade” stamps! Cheers to a fabulous New Year filled with wonderful art adventures! ⭐️🎄🎁

Wonder-filled sounds good to me, and it seems like you’re helping to make that happen for those kids. Love those diving whales!
Jean, I love your stamps! The USPS should commission some designs from you.
Happy New Year!
