Mailart 365 has moved

Made using an envelope, and the enclosed packaging contents to stiffen it, which was sent in to work from Israel.

Started with the envelope packaging and then just added a few other postal elements, such as the stamps and airmail stickers, making it positively postal - what else!?

Take a look at this piece on the Positively Postal website plus a great artistamp marking CAPS LOCK day and a piece sent in by Pone and now received, many thanks!

I have a friend who wrote a book called "Help, a bear is eating me". Naturally, I need to send this to him.

Some stamp samples from a 1976 catalogue and a nice old Australian stamp.

Had some Italian stamps from an envelope at work which escaped cancellation and appear to depict fishing. I then added these coins images which were taken from remnants of an old Prestige stamp book. Might need to go fishing for some coins myself as now near the end of the month and not much money left!

Moving to a smaller house earlier this year meant putting some stuff I should really get rid of into storage. Hannah and I went to the storage unit for the first time in ages and collected a small amount (no car so limited by what we could carry)which although small was particularly heavy!
Anyway, in amongst it all was this piece which I made last year as the backdrop for the Positively Postal Advent Calendar. I like it a lot so I'm not sure I want to send it off but thought I'd share it here and glad I hadn't thrown it away! Made up of a load of postally used stamps and associated postal markings.

Hmmm, just finding stuff and stickin' it down.

Hannah made this bright and cheerful piece the other day - spot the "Mail Art 365" reference at the bottom!

Come up smelling of roses (well at least of this one rose!) with the Positively Postal Mail Art Rockstar Service and do shoes really have to cost that much....!?

Return of the (free - sshhh!) airmail stickers as used rather cleverly here by Hannah to create this piece!

My eldest daughter, Hannah, made this "airmail envelope" after she insisted on picking up a few sheets of airmail stickers from The Post Office.

Fallen a little behind with all of this as I was rather unwell from a night out on Saturday(!) so may take a day or two to get back into the swing. Anyhow here are some yellow lines stuck on a map which came from a Heathrow Airport Noise Limitation document plus a few bits stuck at the end of them which I'd been saving for such an occasion.

The map background and the yellow lines came from a Heathrow Airport Noise Limitation document, put through the letter box, and I found the "airmail", "signature required" and green cross in amongst bits and pieces I've been saving for an occasion just like this! Also couldn't let Friday 13th pass by....

Oh man, making tiny airmail envelopes is the best. I could do it all day!
