Mailart 365 has moved

Arrow circling star came from a printer cartridge shop bag and the tickets were from the Paris trip which I rediscovered in the cartridge bag along with some other bits I've been saving to make future mailart!

The splash shape and wording "start with a blank canvas" came from the packaging of a pack of white card I've been using for any of the white background pieces I've made recently. I then cut up a piece of a Paris Metro map and stuck the strips to the splash so no longer a blank canvas!

This was a REAL add and pass, the first piece I made with the collected maialrt talent that gathered in Paris this weekend!

Elena and I went over to Paris with Positively Postal, where we met up with fellow mailartists Mim and Dean Marks.

I had been well and truly stuck at #146 for months and this was the first piece I made for ages. I put together the snowman and tie and passed the piece on because I felt that someone else could finish it, and thus began the REAL Add and Pass.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of add and pass mailart, but when you get a bunch of creatives in a room as we had that day Add and Pass is such a natural mailart process!

Back from Paris now where I/we had a fantastic time and this is the first of 8 pieces I made on Sunday (19th) afternoon in Mim & Chuck's studio there - was great to just sit, make mailart with other like-minded people(Andy, Elena, Dean, Mim) using different source material including some from a huge package sent in by Erni-Bar! Next seven pieces to be posted over the next seven days then I'll be even nearer to the 365 target and got to think where to go to next to do some more mailart!

As a group of us are off to/meeting up in Paris this weekend, it only seemed appropriate to make a Paris/French themed piece, looking forward to going tomorrow so back next week, hopefully with some more Paris/new mailart as getting a bit closer to the magic 365 now!

"Quand Suzette a rendu visite à sa mère, elle lui a toujours apporté quelque chose spéciale du Cremerie."

Altered a photo to get an artistic background, then added the girl running in the foreground.

I digitized a photo of a couple kissing in Paris to make an art piece for my background, then added the sheet music & roses.

Would kill for the desk & the chandelier!

Ziegfeld girls are beautiful, even when they're fully dressed.

Another Ziegfeld girl frolics in Paris!

This Ziegfeld girl is waiting on you for a quiet candlelit dinner, with an awesome view of course!

Drum roll, please! This is my 300th piece of art in my Mailart 365 project!

No. 8 in the series of rooms with a view of the Eiffel Tower. A Ziegfeld girl graces the room along with her little puppy.

A vintage photo is combined with two background photos to produce this art class in Paris.

Third in my Parisian dream room series.
