Sea Christmas 2012 - Åland


6187
Åland Post celebrated the Christmas Season 2012 by issuing a stamp feature  typically Åland features on October 09, 2012.
Finnish artist Minna L. Immonen created this year's Christmas stamp, combining a traditional Christmas motif with typically Åland features.




Minna describes the Åland Christmas stamp in this way: "Inspired by the sea, the motif still has a Christmassy accent. The motif on the first day cover symbolizes the arrival of Christmas mail."

Minna L. Immonen has been drawing since childhood, focusing on painting since her senior school days. Having completed an education as a graphic designer and attended various art schools, she started her own company Minna-Kortti in the 1980s.
