Mailart 365 has moved

I don't like this one very much; but it is an envelope, it is decorated, and it is going out in tomorrow's mail.

This is an ink stained envelope. I hope it counts if I send a letter through school district mail.

 This is a skateboard ad from a magazine. I liked the colors, so I folded it into an envelope. You can see the edge lines on the back.

Created for a black and white mailart challenge on swapbot.

map index, paper napkin, grocery sticker, vintage stamps, fish from a discarded fishing book, watch and address label from a magazine.

I had originally created this for the black and white mailart challenge on swapbot from 2 pieces of cardboard sewn together. When my partner turned out to be international I realized that I didn't have enough room for all black and white stamps so I sent her the other one (#249).

Recycled cardboard, pages from 1950's encyclopedias, Andy's luggage tag, a vintage photo, wrapping paper, bits from a 1920's Nat Geo, vintage stamps.
