278/365 HMPC For Me? - Not Always Black and White
This collage was created with the premise in mind that not everything is so cut and dry as to be black and white... there are always gray areas and not-so-white areas.

188/365, sent to PostMuse in Pittsburgh.
All of these are re-made security pattern envelopes embellished with various stickers that I had on hand. This is semi-lazy mail art; the truth is that I didn't want to sift through my materials or bust out a glue stick right then, so I just pulled out my sticker drawer and worked only from that. It's mostly (pre-made) handmade stickers, sticker selvage, and commercial stickers. I think they came out pretty neat anyway, though.
189/365, sent to Donovan in Chicago.
190/365, sent to Bethany in South Carolina.
191/365, sent to Kim (more specifically, her body, asking it to be nice to her), in DC.
