#50 mail art process

 I took these with my old cell phone, as I was too engrossed in what I was doing to go downstairs for my camera. Sorry the light blurs things a bit; however, I wanted to share the process.

FIRST - I covered a piece of matt board with paper scraps. The small white rectangles are where I'd cut something out of the other side of the paper.

 SECOND - I glued down old postage stamps and a picture of a queen that I liked.
I turned the matt board over and cut it into 4 standard postcard pieces, with only a little scrap left over. Why do I turn the board over? So there's a bit of random-ness in the process.

I then added a person/s to the three that didn't have one. Just to give some focus and personality to the cards.

I like the blurry cell phone shots -- kind of cool. And nice cards too.

I received the blue & yellow card in the lower corner, #506 or was that #50b. I loved the stamps and the licensed mail artist stamp on the back. But just so you know the post card got a little chewed up during its postal travels. The papers were ripped off in the corners. I think it adds to the charm but as the artist who created it it can be annoying. Thank you so much will be send on in return soon.

Here we are again, finally!

 I can’t believe, oh wait, I can believe that I haven’t posted in a very long time. So much going on. Life gets in the way. And my outgoing ...
