Greetings From Fairyland

This postal stationery item is based upon my studies of postcards

utilized by the British. The phrase 'THE ADDRESS ONLY TO BE

WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE' is found on such material.

A Cyberstamp From the Etheric Postal Service of Fairyland

There are many artists and writers who have utilized the name

'Fairyland,' and as such one can see that it is a popular designation.

One cannot copyright such a general idea. So each of us has had his

or her interpretation.

Atlantis is another land which has seen quite a few cinderella stamps,

each rendered in different styles, in accordance with the taste and

imagination of their respective creators.

Fairy Stamps by Eric Whollem

This small sheet of stamps was designed in 2009, but I decided to

issue it in Cyberstamp format here in 2010. Cyberstamps, by one

definintion, are artistamps that exist not on paper, but only on

computer file.

If there arose public interest in obtaining gummed and perforated

editions of these or any other Cyberstamps shown on this blog, I

might print a few if the time seemed right.

Email me if interested in my stamps, or have any questions regarding

my art in general.

Faery Hills in Folklore

The lore of fairies in Ireland concerns the Fir Sidhe and the

Bean Sidhe, the gods and goddesses of the land. These originally

were not considered to be 'wee folk' at all, but to be beings seen

the size of humankind.

Their homes were said to be in lakes or in hills. The hills of the

Sidhe (pronounced 'Shee') were called 'raths' in the old language.
