Mailart 365 has moved

I love decorating eggs for Easter, but actually don't like hard-boiled eggs, so I didn't make real ones this year because I don't know what I'd do with that many eggs that I didn't want to eat. But when I spotted some patterns in a junk mail catalog I received this weekend, I thought they'd make very pretty Easter eggs, so some mail art was born.

97-99, decorated envelopes (fronts only) with eggs cut from junk mail and deco tape.

100/365, handmade postcard with an Easter-themed sales flyer and bunny image, plus washi tape.




101-110, jumbo eggs full of treats, wrapped in striped packaging tape and sent out naked. The first pic is of them on their way to the post office; the second is of them after adding postage and dropping them in the box for packages.






111-114, 117-120, postcards handmade with various ephemera.

I made this one fairly quickly while waiting to go out, using a multitude of junk mail which we get put through the door very regularly, an almost endless source of mailart material! The 2 piece set label came from a shirt & T-shirt I bought last week, monkey from some wrapping paper and the "45th week-end Constructing a Rock Garden" from a very old and yellowing gardening book entitled 52 weekend jobs in my garden.

Love rabbits! I have a family of them that live in my back yard. They so cute & cuddly!
