My Art in the Time of a Pandemic
Creating a postcard a day from postage stamps I've been collecting since childhood. |
| Gold leaf postcard with 1964 Olympic stamps by Suzanne Coley, 4/23/2020 |
Today's stamps: 1964 Tokyo Olympic games printed in Poland. The stamps show the victories won by the Polish team. The Polish team won 7 gold medals that summer.
On my postcard are stamps of the following athletes:
1. Waldemar Baszanowski - Weightlifting
2. Egon Franke - Fencing, Men's Foil Individual
3. Women's 4x100 meters relay (Teresa Cieply, Irina Kirszenstein, Halina Gorecka, Ewa Klobukowska)
This year's Olympic Games in Tokyo have been postponed until 2021 due to the new coronavirus pandemic. The Games have been cancelled only three other times in the history of the modern Olympics Games. Those cancellations were due to war.
