Thanks for visiting Mailart 365. This site is an archive of mailart produced by artists doing mailart 365 from December 2010 to August 2016. As of July 2016, we moved to a new and more modern site at www.mailart365.com. Come on over and check us out there
Oh I didn't realise Bucky-Fuller was a mathematician! I had previously only encountered the name in chemistry as he invented a geometric isomer of carbon (or something) called Buckminster-fullerine (Bucky balls).
I think this related to the geometric domes that they made for the 1967 World Fair, Fuller's 25 great circles. I'm impressed you know any of it, this kind of math is not my thing.
I was going to draw a Buckminster Fullerene for my B letter card but quickly got discouraged by all the straight lines trying to be spherical. My sketch is skewed. C60 too many hexagons and pentagons to connect and hard to draw it 3D.

I can't believe I actually remembered that...

I agree it would be hard to draw!

This is brilliant! It arrived today and I particularly like the quote you chose for the back. Wow. Got me thinking.
I particularly like the feel of it. What glue did you use?

Glad you liked it! I used liquitex gloss medium to glue and cover the card.
