What to take on vacation that is easy to transport and make art?  Brown Kraft paper sketchbook, crayons & Tape.  There are always lots of magazines that get dragged along or found along the way to play with.  Lots of fun!

Sent to Biance from Goodnightlittlespoon in Australia. She actually moved after I mailed this package and I'm definitely hoping that it gets forwarded to her because I really feel like she would love that little bike nic-nak.

Sept. 30, 2011. "Get on Board" and the journey is really coming to an
end. Some design images of London from the Greek-English language
institute! And I must get-on-board an airplane and fly back home to
Greece tomorrow. Goodbye to London...

Background made up of some wrapping paper I had left, Birds of Britain Post & Go stamps are relatively new machine vended stamps from Royal Mail(this first set came out in September 2010)and which are available in collectors packs just like this one. I'd used the stamps at work and the empty pack would otherwise have ended up in the bin so I rescued it to use here and then added a few bird silhouettes just to finish it all off. Must remember to tweet about it too....(groan!!)

"Minimum Cycle Base"

Sept. 29, 2011. Yes, some of the British newspapers and gentlemen
here! Also a little map showing my travels from Paris to london...in
Greek ;-)

Taken from an empty/discarded British stamp album page written up in German, the space where the stamps were had plastic mounts which I only partly took off. Then when I went to colour in the squares, the plastic that was left behind gave the effect you see which is rather unusual! Title in English reads "Automatic Letter Sorting", postal connections all round!

After three rather frustrating weeks with unreliable internet/PC I have had the problem professionally fixed(at some cost!) so should make posting up here again the fun it's always been!
I think I may have taken some of my frustration out on these train and lottery tickets then I came across the 893 label and can't remember what it was for so thought I'd add it here - out of frustration has come creation but I do feel much better now it's working properly again!

The work was really done for me when I found this lovely piece of old marbled cardstock at the Goodwill yesterday.

Made for my young friend Meadow.

"Time and Space Complexities"

I hope this got to you Mim

Sept. 28, 2011. Now, if I clipped a few ads for London from the Greek
travel news...well, this is it. Now you see how London is spelt in
GREEK!

Made for the mailart call "Esta boca es mia", This mouth is mine. She is asking for a shout out on a topic of importance to you. Being female and a mother of a girl, this message is close to my heart. I don't think you can see that it was meant to be a word bubble.

Just wanted to share with you what I sent to my partner for the mail art beginner's swap I joined via swap-bot. I created this in between calls while at work. LOL!!!





I used various scraps in my stash, collage images, & die cuts from K&CO. I adhere all the images with Traci Bautista's Collage pauge. I LOVE this stuff!!!
