day 37/100 50th anniversary of Easter Seals: organized by a father who lost his son in a streetcar accident.

Now called Easterseals, the organization offers indispensable resources to more than a million people and families living with a disability every year.. . . #100daysofleavesandcachets #100dayproject #the100dayproject #stampcollecting #artcachet #philately #firstdaycover #mailart #artdaily #mnartist #easterseals #collectable @easter_seals (at Easter Seals Wisconsin Camps)

a Project Mercury patch, with the seven astronauts/missions/spacecraft. And i started another and kind of drew the wrong rocket... this was the rocket that launched Alan Shepard and the Freedom 7 into space - when the stamp is sort of commemorating the launch of John Glenn and the Friendship 7 for the first trip orbiting the Earth... 🙈 . . #100daysofleavesandcachets #100dayproject #the100dayproject #stampcollecting #artcachet #philately #firstdaycover #mailart #artdaily #mnartist #projectmercury #spacerace #NASA #spaceflight #1962 #spacehistory #redstonerocket (at Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA))

Project Mercury ran from 1958 to 1963 - the first human space flight program. i was inspired to create this cachet when reading about the women of NASA, or the "Human Computers," behind the scenes that supported these missions... . . #100daysofleavesandcachets #100dayproject #the100dayproject #stampcollecting #artcachet #philately #firstdaycover #mailart #artdaily #mnartist #hiddenfigures #humancomputers #womenshistory #blackhistory #womeninSTEM #womeninscience #projectmercury #mathematician #spacerace #NASA #spaceflight #1962 #spacehistory (at NASA Langley Research Center)

Powell and co. went on a 3 month cartographic and scientific exploration of the Green and Colorado Rivers in the summer of 1869 - which included the first known trip by a European through the entirety of the Grand Canyon. . Interesting guy Powell, explorer, geologist, naturalist, ethnologist, professor, soldier... you can see on the stamp, where his arm was amputated in the Civil War. . Also, the stamp was designed by the artist Rudolph Wendelin - 'the Smokey the Bear artist'. . #100daysofleavesandcachets #100dayproject @jwpmuseum @grandcanyonnps #johnwesleypowell #expedition #stampcollecting #artcachet #philately #pagearizona #firstdaycover #ushistory #artdaily #grandcanyon #coloradoriver #mnartist (at Grand Canyon National Park)

day 38/100 : 1935 Boulder Dam stamp, with the date stamp of the dedication ceremony by President F. D. Roosevelt. There was a big disagreement over the name -and in 1947 it officially became the Hoover Dam, named after President Herbert Hoover - president when construction began in 1931. . i used a photograph of a 'high scaler,' - one of the jobs during the dam construction. . . #100daysofleavesandcachets #100dayproject #the100dayproject #stampcollecting #artcachet #philately #firstdaycover #mailart #artdaily #mnartist #watercolorpencil #hooverdam #boulderdam #ushistory #civilengineering #nationalhistoriclandmark #concretegravitydam #damconstruction #constructionworker #historicalart #1935 (at Hoover Dam, Nevada / Arizona State Line)
