About Hold on(ox), it's going to get better
According to the Chinese calendar, the year 2021 will be the Year of the White Metal Ox. With the uncertainty we are facing due to the fluid situations in the previous year, we will like to invite you to hold on to your faith with us and looking forward that 2021 is going to be a better year.
About OX (or OK)
For the year of OX, this designed is inspired by vintage marks that used to cancel the postage stamps. Back then, there were times that the cancels are carved by clerks or officer in the post offices. We intentionally designed the word "OX" looks like "OK", which allows you to use this postmark for the year of ox or use as a "ok" mark. Further, you would use it as "xoxo" (hugs and kisses) too.
*Pattern C,D,E are revision version of previous years
Each piece of rubber stamp is assembled by hand with care and attention. We hope this creation will add some sparks in your everyday journaling, mailing, crafting and keep exploring new possibilities.
Looking forward a better 2021, an "ok" year for the year of "ox" with you!
