The designer (the name on the stamp) says it is a Mum-elephant and her baby elephant crying because of the dying nature. But I think it could be also a he-elephant... I'm afraid I cannot say, when we speak about origami animals ;)Mail Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574231572383527950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738287346138273654.post-7750707313995213722017-11-12T06:49:46.613-08:002017-11-12T06:49:46.613-08:00All 3 stamps are excellent.

I like the simplicity of the design of the olive stamp, otters should surely be on a lot more stamps, and the origami elephants are stunning.FinnBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623312291708136478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738287346138273654.post-1884292286653378072017-11-12T05:10:25.199-08:002017-11-12T05:10:25.199-08:00The otter stamp is great.

Even more interesting is the theme was cultural exchange with all the added meaning of the olive branch. Love those olifanten, and the Dutch word.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253875352864018195noreply@blogger.com
