#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.

Process for #43 series

Base board

Start of adhering papers to board

Board with all paper bits adhered to it

resulting 4 cards

 This is the process that I described in the previous entry.  I thought visuals might be nice.










I limited myself to three different pieces of paper from my stash.
















I covered the base cardboard allowing the original affixed labels to remain visible.

I turned the cardboard over, and cut it into as many standard postcard sized pieces as I cold with as little waste as possible.
