Once the green oil is sorted for my lamp, I would follow Moomin trolls's joy in light and shadow. By the way, what is the light source of the round object in the last stamp, do you think? Anyone knows the Moomin episode of this scene? Finland 6 May 2019 / Domestic permafrost / original illustration: Tove Jansson / stamp design: James Zambra, Kobra Agency      |
