Mailart 365 has moved
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
74/365 - Quilled flowers
I made this for a Swap bot before the wedding.
It took 2 moths to get to Malaysia. Sometimes I wonder about Royal Mail.
63/365 - Whacha ya lookin at
Gluing it down was the most difficult part today as I forgot my fine tip glue bottle at home so I had to use a stick glue that I found in the office.
This cat chase goes to okadaskat who sent me a nice knitted broach a while ago. I know she likes cats so I hope she enjoys it.
61/365 - Bored at work 2
Another day of making art at work although I'm working in research. (shhh don't tell my boss). Today I came prepared with my own glue which is better suited for quilling than a pritt stick.
I'm in a snowflake phase at the moment so I rolled the shredded paper found the other day in the bin and came up with this totally recycled hanging snowflake.
62/365 - 100% recycled
The drawing that you see underneath was sent to My REAL wall few days ago from B.
The flowers were so nice and simple that I felt the need to quill them and so I did. The strips that I used for this piece are shredded paper that I found in the recycled bin in my office.
This is going back from where it came. I hope B will not get upset for altering her work.
60/365 - Bored at work
As I was on the last bit of training that took way too long for my short attention spam I immediately asked my boss for some glue and made these up while my computer was booting up.
I am really happy that I have this strips at work so I can roll some flowers in my lunch breaks and get away without looking too much like a weirdo. (I work in a very technical place)
59/365 - Oval, square and a diamond
Another challenge for the 365 card was to make a card that has a square, an oval and a diamond.
This third card of the quilled snowflake series goes to one of my favourite flickr contacts.
58/365 - S is for snowflake
This is the second in the quilled snowflake series. I made this for day 329 on 365 cards.
The pattern and the paper strips comes form the quilling pattern a day calendar that I've bought a while ago. I have to say that that I'm not very happy with the quality of the paper that comes with. The strips have funny coloured edges that gives the quilling a weird look. Well I guess that's one of the reasons why the calendar didn't become popular.
57/365 - Winter is almost over
For the day 332 -This and that on 365 card we had to make a card that has a lot of yellow and is meant to cheer someone up.
I came up with this quilled snow flake card . The pattern and the paper strips comes form the quilling pattern a day calendar that I've bought a while ago.
50/365 - A martini for Postmuse
I made this card couple of days ago using another recycled Christmas card that I found and the first quilling pattern from my pattern-a-day calendar.
When I was thinking who to send it to PostMuse came to mind as I remembered she likes wine. When I saw her Shaken,not stirred today I was really happy as it reinforce the thought to send this card to her.
Here you go PostMuse a martini from me. Hope this will bring a smile on your face and make you forget about your flight troubles.
