#63s and more

"Now! Revised!'
"New! New!"
 I used the same process for the #63s. I glued down strips of map (mainly Virginia) to create a new, revised version of the landscape.

Today was the first day of a month long alphabet project on Mail Art 365. The first day we were to use an exclamation mark. So I did.





The "New! New!" card cracks me up. The advertisement is from Photography magazine (8 pages in full color) from November of 1949. I got it at Whitings' Paper. Pretty interesting sales pitch.
Here's one of the many photos that I took in New Orleans. I'll do a few posts about my trip soon. This shows how clear the skies were and the typical iron railing. This is an interetsing building. It doesn't look either French or Spanish, which are the architectural influences there.  It looked sort of Eastlake.

Wait until I show you some of the food!
(exclamation point used)

Nice Mim! Margie

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
