Postal associate from West Nyack, NY 10996, you should have postmarked it more to the right, over the DARN kumquats, instead of giving me a partial postmark on the folded card. :) . Cute rabbit in a blue kettle/vase - my non-traditional MAXICARD about Year of the Hare (rather than rabbit)

Maybe you see twisted minds around you all the time - see here some twisted heart shapes. Non-traditional MAXICARDS that I made with folded cards ("greeting cards"), about YOTH (Year of the Hare). Pictorial postmarks from West Nyack, NY and Los Angeles, CA (the metropolis formerly known as "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula (The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of the Porciúncula River)")

Halloween is approaching....owl...Frankenstein...color orange...and kumquats, too?

Cut-out from an index card, with an owl stamp and pictorial postmark from FRANKENSTEIN, MO  65016


The kumquats look like oranges, and the main subject of the stamp (Year of the Hare) is  belittled [!] as a small  drawing of a hare, barely visible, on the left side of the stamp. Pictorial postmark from Los Angeles, CA 90012, perfectly visible on the matte, folded card  - which  I can postcardize anytime, should I want.

See how a simple, nice postmark can "put a locality on the map" for you, and many others?

LEPORIDS (RABBITS and HARES). Another one of my non-traditional MAXIMUM CARDS with YOTH (Year of the Hare), from USA, made with a folded card which I can "postcardize" anytime, should I want. Should I? Pictorial postmark from Los Angeles, California, February 5, 2011

All domestic LEPORIDS are rabbits.
The one above has flaccid downward ears.
The wild ones, rabbits and hares - don't.
What happens when a heart shape elongates its lobes? Won't it resemble a hare head shape, with upward ears? Find it in the above image.
If not, I'll find it for ya.

At ABC Wednesday Meme, today is letter L, as in LEPORIDS (RABBITS and HARES). My non-traditional MAXIMUM CARD with YOTH (Year of the Hare), from USA, made with a folded card which I can "postcardize" anytime, should I want. Should I?

Eastern CottontailSylvilagus floridanus



Notice the different postmark than the one above, for the  same folded card with Eastern Cottontail, (Sylvilagus floridanus) 
"Leporids are the approximately 50 species of rabbits and hares which form the family Leporidae. The leporids, together with the pikas, constitute the mammalian orderLagomorpha. Leporids differ from pikas in having short furry tails, and elongated ears and hind legs. The name leporid is simply an abbreviation of the family name Leporidae meaning animals resembling "lepus", Latin for hare.
Members of all genera except Lepus are usually referred to as rabbits, while members of Lepus (which accounts for almost half the species) are usually called hares. However the distinction between these two common names does not map completely into current taxonomy, since jackrabbits are members of Lepus, and members of the genera Pronolagus and Caprolagus are sometimes called hares.
Leporids are native across the world except Antarctica, and in Oceania where their introduction is a significant threat for the native mammals in Australia. ."

Security Weekly. The Geopolitics of the United States, part I - STRATFOR. Also, for ABC Wednesday meme (today is letter H), I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD from USA, with The ARCTIC HARE (Lepus arcticus)

Please read this interesting article: Security Weekly
The Geopolitics of the United States - STRATFOR.

For ABC Wednesday meme (today is letter H), I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD from USA, with The ARCTIC HARE (Lepus arcticus)

"The arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), or polar rabbit is a hare which is adapted largely to polar and mountainous habitats. It was once considered[citation needed] a subspecies of the mountain hare, but it is now regarded as a separate species. The arctic hare survives with a thick coat of fur and usually digs holes under the ground or snow to keep warm and sleep. Arctic hares look like rabbits but have longer ears and can stand up taller, they can live/maintain themselves in cold places unlike rabbits. They can travel together with many other hares, sometimes huddling with dozens or more, but are usually found alone, taking in some cases more than one partner. 
The arctic hare can run up to 40 miles (64 km) per hour.[3] 
Its top predator is the arctic wolf."

No, HARE KRISHNA is NOT a species of hare from India.

Yes, now it's Year of the Hare, but why don't you make every year to be Year of the Rare? YOU are RARE! Or, "you are unique, like everybody else [get it? :) ]. YOU have a rare/unique set of qualities (and defects, I might specify) - why shouldn't YOU express yourself by designing FREE OF CHARGE? Look at my tiger stamps. You, too, can do something like that, or better! :)

Year of the Hare ( more correct than Year of the Rabbit, they say)

Why don't you make every year to be Year of the RARE creator/designer (that's YOU!)?
"Tu, soltanto tu..."
:)

Designing such personalized stamps is a lot of fun!
I also put them for sale (minimum quantity is a sheet of 20 stamps, per Zazzle policy) in my Public Gallery at Zazzle (they ship only to US addresses).

I also put them for sale individually, not in sheets of 20, at http://www.delcampe.net/stores/dorinco.
Today I am shipping ("Dude, where's my SHIP?") 9 of the above tiger personalized stamps to a collector in Germany. 
He paid at delcampe $5 apiece, plus a combined $5 for shipping, delcampe fees and PayPal fees. Total $50.

A week ago, I have shipped a set of ALL 11 different tiger personalized stamps to a collector/dealer in the Russian Federation. 
Total 11x$5 +$5= $60. Plus $12 Registered Mail fee, per USPS. Final amount = $72.
DID YOU KNOW that there are more US$ billionaires in Moscow than in any other city in the world?
Billionaires from around the world, bored out of your mind...you're welcome to splurge on my stupid little stamp designs...:) :)

What's in it for you, if you are a regular Joe or Jane, working your ass off at the daily grind, living your life of quiet desperation? [Welcome to the Club!]
As I said, ANYBODY in the world can design in 200+ lines of products at Zazzle, not just stamps.
FREE.
Then put them for sale.
Then, if anything sells, you'll get a modest royalty.
But it may add up, if you're wildly successful [lasciate ogni speranza...but you never know, until you try :) ]

I have occasionally created other items, besides stamps.
Take a look, if you don't believe me :) ( see the Dubya T-shirt, the giant panda poster, etc.):

http://www.delcampe.net/stores/dorinco

I'll say it again, to make it clear for everybody:

I spoke on the phone 1-888-8ZAZZLE (1-888-892-9953)with Jillina @zazzle, and she checked with her supervisor.
Zazzle stamps can ONLY be shipped to an US address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best procedure is this:

1) you can design zazzle personalized stamps by registering at zazzle.com (the main US website of Zazzle), regardless of where in the world you reside.
Put them in the Public Gallery so you can receive royalty payments (thru PayPal or check) from Zazzle, should your products find buyers!

2) you can order zazzle stamps ONLY from zazzle.com (not the regional zazzle portals!), regardless of where in the world is your billing address associated with your credit card.

3) you can ONLY receive those stamps at an address in USA! So you better get a partner/friend in USA! :)


Y, as in Year of the RARE "YOU"

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
