Vol. 2, No. 282, October 9, 2017


2282 - World Post Day.

DAY 9

Today is World Post Day! Create something inspired by the Postal Service and their work. For some additional inspiration, here is a poem by Charles W. Eliot. These words are inscribed in granite at the Smithsonian Institution's National Postal Museum in Washington, DC.

Messenger of Sympathy and Love
Servant of Parted Friends
Consoler of the Lonely
Bond of the Scattered Family
Enlarger of the Common Life

Carrier of News and Knowledge
Instrument of Trade and Industry
Promoter of Mutual Acquaintance
Of Peace and of Goodwill Among Men and Nations.
In celebration of World Post Day and National Sneaker Day, I created a postage stamp featuring a sneaker. I didn't have any color supplies on hand, so it is a black and white stamp, but other than the distortion of the shoe, I like how it turned out.
