The Micronation of Amphora Issues Cyberstamp Editions of Designs From 2009

Amphora is styled as 'The Continent of the Future,' being my symbol
of the Aquarian Age. 'Amphora' is the old name in astrology for the sign
of Aquarius.

My early issues of Amphoran stamps were printed in limited editions of 100.
The stamp above is a 'cyberstamp,' having existence only as a computer file at this time.

The Chalice of the Goddess

The book, 'The Chalice and the Blade,' by Riane Eisler influenced many
people back in the 1980's. Ms. Eisler created the concept of a 'partnership
society' where men and women would work in harmony. Her book outlined
the depredations of invasions by patriarchal tribal groups, who disturbed
an idyllic agrarain matriarchy in Eastern Europe.

The 'Chalice' was taken as a symbol of the womb concept.

This stamp is a tribute to the Eternal Feminine.

Figurative Ceramic Sculpture Utilizing Earth Paints

The sculpture on this stamp was created in the 1990's, here in
Northern California. I used paints made from raw natural earths
to color the piece.
