Mailart 365 has moved

One year my mum bought a bunch of wooden masks that she wanted her grand children to paint.  No one was inspired and they languished for years until this year when they made it to the fair bag.  I spied one and thought, now wouldn't that make an interesting mailart? Posting when on Cranberry Island means franking and putting straight into the post box 'delivered'. BRILLIANT.

Playing with Layers of Flavor for my first MailArt 101 class that I taught on Feb 4.

It was so much fun that I did it again in March and now I'm working on a Snail Mail Social gathering.

Created for a swapbot swap in the cut and paste group in a blue theme.

Tiffany's catalog, vintage stamp, chopstick wrapper bits, candy wrapper, book bits, scrounged airmail sticker, paint chip, and a paper napkin crab all on a recycled cereal box painted with crackle paint.

OK, 280, I feel like I'm getting there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

More sticker fun from Hannah!

I usually don't paint actual things, but this swap was for a hand-painted postcard.

I made the background from a recycled cereal box and gesso. The green crab was copied from an old seashore identification book.
