And more Mail Art

#132 address side

 I had received some old books, in quite bad condition, so I decided the make the covers into Mail Art. The postage is incomplete in this view, FYI.

This minimal piece worked for me. Just a floating scarf and a circle. I love it when just two pieces work.





OR, as in this altered card, just one thing added. Don't those lips look menacing?




Or this person, counting one sheep, perhaps. Just one added bit and the story changes, right?

This black band piece was made specifically for a Mail Art call about justice. You can learn more HERE and perhaps enter a piece.

A tulip!

I've been making my Mail Art, collages, alterations, etc. and having fun with them. I haven't been posting because I've been busy keeping up with my Bicycles mail art call. HERE.
And preparing for and presenting my Slow Art Day 2015 event. It's my 4th year as a volunteer, hosting at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, which has nothing to do with the event at all. Just me and my friends and new friends, the participants. It's a lot fo fun and happened in over 200 locations this year. Woo hoo.

#86 the letter "W" and a mail art call

 One lonely "W" sitting on my work table and a book of commerative U.S. states flower stamps. Hmmm, hope there's a lily in the bunch. Yes, there was and now it's on this postcard. It works for me.

Cynthia at Carytown Optical is sharing temporary space with Carytown Teas (the only Op-TEA-cal shop in the world she told me,) was intrigued by the mail art that Patricia and Mistie were receiving. She asked me to do a mail art call for her. So here it is. Please send her some Mail Art. She's very excited to receive some.
