Astronomy & Astrology Stamps

Class project

Three printed stamp sheets side by side on a wooden table: a mint constellation map, a blue zodiac sheet and a mint sheet of planets.

One sky, three sheets: the constellations, the zodiac and the planets.

Three sheets look at the same sky in three ways. The constellation sheet runs one star map across every stamp, so it reads as a whole sheet and still works torn apart. The zodiac sheet gives each sign its glyph and its stars. The planets sit on a ruled mint ground in copper-colored line. One teal-to-mint palette holds the set together.
