Small collages - MailArt & a mitt

Altered Picasso

A proposed poster

I made a few altered postcards recently to send off to specific people and one was a result of a prompt during October http://creativesprint.co  I'm posting my Mitts because I just re-opened my Etsy shop http://FritziMim.etsy.com  Which came about because I can't sell my mitts in-person during the pandemic at the usual holiday "shops." My honey suggested I re-open and it's been quite fun to see that people are actually buying stuff from it. Yay commerce, yay my compulsion to knit.

Altered Cards

Our daughter gifted me with a set of postcards to old typewriters. Very exciting for me as I love typewriters and own two old ones. 

But what to do with them. I held on to these cards for a number of months then decided to created random word poems. 

Works for me. How about you?

 

Alter postcards

 I cleaned up my work table and did some re-organizing of things, which made me more eager to spend this morning in the studio. I found two identical cards - Henri Laurens (1885-1954) A collage he created in 1915. It seems that I got the card at the Pompidou center in Paris. Why two identical cards, I don't know, but I'm happy about it now.  I altered them with the addition of circles. Playing with Josef Albers idea of transparency. Can you see what I did?

Circles - a few circles to alter something

 I've had this postcard of a Picasso sculpture for awhile. Finally, couldn't resist altering it. What was at hand on my studio table, circles, of course.

More Unusual Weather Phenomenon

The weather was unpredictable but the unusual circular phenomenon was quite unusual. And that random text that appeared at the same time, was disconcerting.

Random Words and Circles

 I spent the morning cutting circles and words out of a magazine that was headed to the recycling bin. It was a very satisfying activity for a gray morning. I was happy to just sit in my studio and do this. And there are always small blanks at hand, ATC size, so I can just make a few small random word poems with circles. Yes, very satisfying. What do you think? Do you have a creative activity that you can do in a few minutes and feel satisfied?
