More Mail Art Out & In

 Another large piece of board was at hand so I laid out some random pieces of colored paper and circles.

Results - 2 cards below.

I was surprised at how the circle on the blue color add such a lot of depth to the piece.










I like the way the bottom part cut off in just the right way, randomly. The bits mainly being at the bottom, yet the circles lift off and give a lightness to the piece.

I found a lovely art postcard in a pile from our last trip to Europe. A mixed media collage by Henri Laurens, from 1915. I added all of the circles, of course. I think it really worked out well. I hope Henri would have liked it. 
I received an envelope from Pierpaolo Limoncelli in Bari, Italy. It had an "add & pass" (oh no, now I'm obliged to do something & pass it along, but to whom?) some stickers and some microfiche. The Microfiche is labeled " Preparing for an uncertain Climate Volume 2...Unted States Congress." WOW! Wonder where Pierpaolo got that!

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 ...
