Mailart 365 has moved

 This is a two part postcard, and the first of a short series of 10 that I'll make in the coming months. I've written this one, but haven't mailed it because I want to find some sort of removable adhesive to hold the recipe card in place. Its corners are tucked into slits in the card, but I don't think it will stay in place for the journey. And I'm pretty sure I've seen an adhesive that turns ordinary paper into post-it notes, and that's what I want to find.

The Holiday Rice picture looks quite awful, but food photos from the 1950s (recipe is dated 1958) often looked pretty bad. They hadn't heard of food porn back then.

When the recipe card is removed, there is a table setting underneath. It is missing beverage glasses, I was not having any luck drawing tiny beverage glasses. The plates and flatware are a rubber stamp, that I embellished a little bit.

A while back there was a mail call for recipes, and I wanted to participate, but nothing I created seemed good enough. This is too late for the exhibit, but I'm going to send it to the curator anyway.
