| Helga Torfs’ bears |
The story
of Helga Torfs’ bears started when her friend asked for a bear for his
birthday. In her childhood Helga used to be very creative and decided to try.
After a lot of unsuccessful attempts Pedro the Bear was born.
Helga’s
priority is that the bear has the soul and is not made but actually born, being
handmaded of mohair, silk, glass eyes…
Helga’s
bears have been rewarded with international rewards with their pictures published
on magazines’ covers. Some of the bears are exposed in American and Asian museums.

| Kisses Blown |
This
self-adhesive stamp, called Kisses Blown, was designed by Ulla Bergström for
the Women’s Day’s celebration. A set of cheerful celebration stamps, consisting
of four of them, is inspired by spring festivities, friendship, and evening
gatherings.
Mish, if you'd like to send your address via postcrossing mail to scriptor I'd be happy to send you a card (with no obligation for you to send me one in return). All the best, John
