Mailart 365 has moved

203/365, as promised yesterday.  Handmade envelope from an old ledger book, collaged map bits, Martha Stewart label, dot and foil star stickers, and vintage postage.  Sent to PostMuse in Pittsburgh.


205/365, a handmade envelope from someone's old college notebook, museum handout, vintage label, receipt, vellum flyer, filing labels, stickers, vintage postage.  Sent to Donovan in Chicago.


206/365, handmade envelope from a foreign language booklet (I believe Chinese; picked it up in Vancouver's Chinatown, anyway).  Sent to Bethany in South Carolina with carefully placed postage.



207/365, a postcard made from the best kind of Pop-Tarts ever, which are reserved for special occasions.  Sent to Danamarie in Baltimore, because she appreciates them as much as I do.

192/36, a handmade collaged postcard made of packaging, maps, graph paper, book pages, and stickers.  Sent to Rebecca in Suffolk, UK.


193/365, a yellow and green collaged envelope made mostly with stickers, book pages, and vintage postage.  Sent to Ben and Martha in DC.


194/36, more green and yellow on a pre-decorated envelope that went with MaryHasSound's graduation card.  Stickers and vintage postage.

Bought some new card pretty recently and I didn't realise how bright it actually is until I cut some shapes from it to create this abstract piece. The red rectangle actually came from the Post Office when I bought some stamp miniature sheets and the card was being used to keep them flat/divided so a little bit of free mailart material courtesy of Post Office Counters!

Printed a shamrock outline off the computer and then filled it in using green magazine cuttings and green oil pastel to colour in the remaining gaps - Happy St. Patrick's Day!

80/365, decorated envelope with book pages, washi tape, St. Patrick's Day pencil decorations, Martha Stewart labels, and vintage postage. Sent to my mom in Florida (whose last name is not Irish).




81/365, decorated envelope with book pages, washi tape, St. Patrick's Day pencil decorations, the margins of Martha Stewart labels, and vintage postage. Sent to Bethany & Yong (one of whom does not have an Irish last name).




82/365, decorated envelope with book pages, washi tape, St. Patrick's Day pencil decorations, Martha Stewart labels, and vintage postage. Sent to Kim in DC, whose last name is not Irish. (Back not shown since the book page collaged shamrock is on the front.)




83/365, decorated envelope with book pages, washi tape, St. Patrick's Day pencil decorations, Martha Stewart labels, and vintage postage. Sent to Liz in Washington state, whose last name is not Irish. (Back not shown for same reason as above.)

I've had this written calculation from work hanging around for a little while so thought I'd stick it to the reverse security side of an old envelope and then I started to colour in the pattern.....about half an hour later (amazing how long this sort of thing can take and a much sharpened and shorter green pencil later!)I added the green stamps and here we are, green stamp calculations!

Sometimes you just don't know what the contents of a handbag are going to be....that lady on the left looks like she is about to dive in to find out...wonder what else she will discover!?

Green!

Following on from yesterday this is the youngest daughter's left hand on her white-board with the words Hands Up - I like the green finger nails!
