When I saw the 'Women in Art' series on Italian stamps I realised there was a similarity between them all.

The head is from an Etruscan coin. However I had found another woman as the stamp designer was Christina Bruscaglia.
I now have to check the names shown in the bottom right hand corner of each stamp.
I would like to find a stamp that shows the American Lucille Ball but settled in the end for the lady once known as the Greek Lucille Ball.

This is the actress Rena Vlahopoulou in the series commemorating Greek actors. She died in 2004.

I love that you found a stamp designed by a woman.
The Italian stamp has a suitably old world look to it.
The 'Greek Lucille Ball' is timely what with the absurd announcement of Nicole Kidman possibly playing her in a biopic.
I love that Italian series. I didn't know the designer was a woman.
I wondered what a Lucille Ball stamp would look like and found a 'Lucy Store' site, who knew such a thing existed. It is amazing how many countries have issued stamps. My favourite is one with her as a knife throwers assistant, so funny.
