Mailart 365 has moved

Made while the girls were doing homework and making mailart of their own, keeping inside and out of the cold but will have to venture out there soon!

There really is no other way to walk than tall with this giraffe post....!

I've had this written calculation from work hanging around for a little while so thought I'd stick it to the reverse security side of an old envelope and then I started to colour in the pattern.....about half an hour later (amazing how long this sort of thing can take and a much sharpened and shorter green pencil later!)I added the green stamps and here we are, green stamp calculations!

That bird in the dress says you must be nice or leave so there!

Made from an advert highlighting the delights of Taiwan (the big and small hearts), an odd bit of wrapping paper, an image of a model and shower gel advert/strapline, all to shower you with kindness. Oh yes, and how could I forget the cute kitten in the bottom left hand corner!

Snipped from a magazine very late at night this rather cute looking dog finds itself against an unusal pattern but s/he's still made his/her mark with the pawprint!

Amelia handed me this piece which she said had got a bit stuck together when she'd made it but I told her it added to the whole design. A neat quick way to make mailart in a hurry - paint a shape/design on one side of the paper, fold in half and hey presto, a double image!

Another wonderful Doodle Pattern from my eldest daughter who is becoming a bit of a Doodle Master!

I did upload this on May 12th (it is now May 13th) but with all the Blogger technical problems it seems to have disappeared so am uploading it again. Similar to a doodle pattern my eldest daughter did back in April I said I thought I could see an alien mouse pattern which just after I'd finished it made me think of Canadian electro and house producer, Deadmau5!

I bought a Doodle Patterns & Pens book a while back with the intention of colouring some in and sending them off as mailart. Finally got some time last week while on holiday to start but my eldest daughter beat me to it so here is her offering first, works pretty well I think!
