Mailart 365 has moved

Sept. 27, 2011. Arriving in merry England, you know, 'ol chap! Added
many British elements to this collage that I am sending from London to
London!

Oh yes, I'm taking my love of ledger paper to the next level.

The cat picture was from a birthday card I got a few weeks ago so I added a split 50p stamp booklet, two gold first class stamps used to actually send two birthday cards(the cat one and one other) then the Happy Birthday with mole greeting was made by Amelia(youngest daughter) and attached to my present from her!

I am pleased with how this series of vacation art came out.  Although.....I sometimes pushed the wrong button and posted out of sequence.  But....that's vacation for you!

This one reminds me of mint and chocolate.

"Adjacency List"

collage on prnted postcard to Petala Eftihia

Sept. 26, 2011. The circle are floating in the air, and I am getting
ready to leave Paris and head for LONDON! 'Taking the EuroStar train
through the Chunnel to meet Andy and Elena in London soon.

Now that I've been using black mat board I'm finding white really ugly. I might need to go through and paint all my white blanks. But painting is pretty hard in my current workspace. We'll see. Does white annoy anyone else?

Had some Italian stamps from an envelope at work which escaped cancellation and appear to depict fishing. I then added these coins images which were taken from remnants of an old Prestige stamp book. Might need to go fishing for some coins myself as now near the end of the month and not much money left!

It's a rarity for a Postcrossing user to request a handmade postcard, but finally someone did. I think this is the second one I've had requested out of 257 sent.

This one was fun to do.

I hesitate to call this one art.

Not really.

When we eat out at our local Chinese restaurant, I almost always fold the paper silverware wrapper into a bow tie while waiting on our meal. I slipped this one into my purse and then onto this piece of mail art.

25 Sept. 2011 for HPC: Layers of Flavor swap on swapbot. Cereal box with 1 application of white gesso. Torn papers applied with matte medium diluted with blue acrylic paint for a paint wash effect and gluing at same time. Apple cut in half and stamped pink ink on in lower left corner. Some letter b's, fleur de lys and the black onion net were stamped on but I wiped them off. Additional postage stamps, paint chip, brain, and air mail sticker glued on after base done. The haiku and Mt. Rainier is part of the torn paper base and is an old haiku and picture I took from an airplane that was a misprint for an old ATC swap.
