Package "label" for wedding shower gift going to my niece. Embarrassing, but at least she'll know why I couldn't make it to the shower.

I think this is a pretty image but when I read the print it talks about grave robbing! Yikes, whoever gets this please focus on the image. I think the text came out of an old history book.

More fruit sticker flowers, this time Chiquitas.

When I peel stickers off fruit, the handiest place to stick them seems to be the lid of my slow cooker that sits on the countertop nearby. The other day my daughter-in-law asked me what I was going to do with all those stickers. Well, Maranda, this is one thing I did. Mail Art!

Holding steady to show off the new hat.

Had a great time making this paper collage.  Only objective was fun.

June 28, 2011. "The Sea is my Mother" says Wilma Duguay, and she lives
by the sea in Canada. I am sending her the Greek Sea, and my ol'
trademark: sailiboat in the wind. A bit of wood cut prints and some
sandpo, too.

Sending this one "airmail" overseas.

Sent to Mail Artist Eduardo Cardoso (Sines-Portugal) .

The envelope for a note going to another brother, and his family, who live on Long Island, NY.
I thought about adding sun, clouds, etc. but do like the bird suspended in the blue sky by himself.

For my 13yo great-nephew, who has a great sense of humor.

I thought that was a chicken, but now am wondering if it's a turkey.

Third extra from yesterday. Boy, Mail Art 365 is a great way for me to finally keep in touch with my big family.

An altered postcard for Miss Mary. I hope she doesn't mind that I used that title for her. It goes so well with her name.

Another extra that I did yesterday.

Managed to get 3 extras done yesterday. Maybe I will catch up with the herd!

This is for my 6yo great-nephew. The front shows a skeleton of the "Cohoes Mastadont," all put together and standing up.

I forgot to block out the address before photo-ing. Not much more to this - colorful oxoxoxox's. Figure I'd go easy on the little ones, at first!

June's birthstone for the month is pearl so before the month is out here is an artistamp with one on it.

I got this great new book on Paper Cutting by contemporary artists, so that inspired me to do a few with very simple paper cuttings.

June 27, 2011. A special "E" collage for "E" at his "Utopia" in France!

Delores loved recreating 19th century flower arrangements.

I had done zentangle houses, how about condos or apartments. My husband's family all lived in the same apartment building when he was growing up. All the different Aunts and Uncles and their family each had their own unit. One big happy family right??? Oy vey!

Zentanges!

Yet another round robin mailart zine page. We are nearing the end of the swap and the booklets are getting fat!

Math, numbers, and fish for Kim.

Andy's baggage claim sticker, 1960's math book, 1880's ledger page, vintage stamp, and math on the back of an old envelope....oh yeah, a fish from Carroll's dumpster koi magazine!

Kati's Round Robin Zine. Her theme was snail mail. I used acrylic paint, gesso, paper napkin and clipart snails for her "snails in the mail".

I forgot to scan some of the other inside pages...I guess they'll just have to be a surprise!

According to the Internet the melody for Happy Birthday was composed by Mildred J. Hill, a schoolteacher born in Louiseville Kentucky, on this day back in 1859. So it appears to be a case of Happy Birthday to Happy Birthday!!!

Baby Leo was puzzled by Tiny Town's lack of interest in  him.

Did this on one of those annoying subscription cards that are always falling out of magazines, or worse, making it hard to flip through them quickly! :) Revenge is now mine, with mail art!

I love the look on my face here: self-satisfied, and proud to be a mail artist! Next time I will put feet on my tote bag, because it looks like it is walking ahead of me.

And I must remember to buy post card stamps tomorrow. I did put my little mail art 365 badge on here after taking the photo.

This mail art has movable parts and it can change at the whim of the viewer.  It was a little long for my scanner, so you are only seeing part of it.  It folds over and is constructed so some parts move, revealing or covering what is below.  It is a prototype for a larger piece.  Mail art is a great way to try things ideas out and see what works and what doesn't.  I kind of wish I had taken a photo before I mailed it off.
