Laura K. Sayers’ Vibrant Postage Stamps

From recognizable scenes around her home in Scotland to delicately rendered snapshots of places she visits, Laura K. Sayers’ meticulously crafted postage stamps nod to connections from afar. The artist, who also illustrates children’s books and is commissioned for special projects like greeting cards, incorporates itty-bitty cuts of colorful paper into tiny tableaux that can fit in the palm of a hand.

Much of the work seen here is currently on view solo in Sayers’ solo exhibition of miniatures titled The Wee Small Hours at N. atelier. An array of everyday scenes is chronicled in a format we typically associate with significant events and remembrance, documenting fleeting moments like little treasures. Some of her recent pieces are inspired by the Finnish landscape that emerged during the artist’s stay at the Fiskars Artist-in-Residence program, organized by Onoma.

The Wee Small Hours continues through this weekend in Glasgow. And keep an eye out for a joint update from Tiny Art Show. Find more on Sayers’ Instagram.

Mr. & Mrs. Manu and Jacob (GH#2) Salloum celebrated their fifth month marriage anniversary. Jacob dropped off flowers for me, since I won't be here for Mother's Day. What a great couple.

In India, a deeply emotional moment was described between two elephants who had been raised together but were being separated and taken to different destinations.

As the vehicles prepared to go their separate ways, the two elephants reportedly reached out and intertwined their trunks—an interaction that looked like a final farewell. The scene left a strong impression, highlighting the emotional depth often associated with these animals.

Elephants are known for their intelligence, memory, and complex social bonds. Moments like this are often interpreted as expressions of connection, reminding us of the sensitivity and social nature of wildlife.
