Le Morte d'Arthur

As some letterboxers might know, I love trying to translate my favorite works of art to pieces of rubber. Sometimes it works, sometime not so much.



I've always been in love with the illustrations that Aubrey Beardsley did for Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur and started carving stamps from the many that he drew.



I planted the first of the stamps-a section of the Title Page-when I was home visiting my parents last weekend. I'll eventually plant the rest around Minnesota and Wisconsin, possibly in other states.

Hopefully I can get around to planting the second one-Merlin-this weekend. We have Evan's little 7 year old staying with us this weekend, so I probably won't get much done.

It should be interesting.
