Playing with a pen!

 

Perforated photos (more of them)

 Diana Hale, perforator extraordinary, Mailartist, sent me perforated photos. I have no idea who these people are. But they are no longer as close as they used to be. The blue dots are an homage to John Baldessari. 

Perforated photos

 A mailart friend, Diana Hale, offered to perforate some photos for me. I sent her old photos we had, who we couldn’t identify. They came from my husband’s family. And She returned them plus a few more from her own stash. They were fun to play with. I call the series “They had been closer in the past’

two zines

 I’ve a renewed interest in these small zines. Probably because of the group on IUOMA. Photos out of order, oh well. 

I like to amuse myself

 I was lucky to received some “embellished” by Ken Brown postcards and I further embellished/altered them. One is an homage to John Baldessari 

Time flies by…

 During this never ending pandemic, I’m still having the sense of time as no time, though I have a schedule I created by belonging to book clubs and PostcardstoVoters groups. Thanks to Zoom! But day to day it become a blur of days. I’m lucky to have my little studio.

A recently complete mural by two wonderful local artists. The building is a dance studio. 

An example of the postcards I write to get out the voters. And a  card I recently mailed out. I’m thinking a lot about peace. Peace inside myself, peace in my country, peace for Ukraine, and what is so hard about being peaceful!?  I think about that. 

A quiet day in my studio

An altered postcard that is had since we were in Mexico City in 2017. It called for some more bands. With color. 

This was a lot of fun, it’s the result of my playing around with the Layout App on my phone and some photos I too off the TV screen of the Kentucky Derby. 

I added arms to the man and then added the man to a postcard I had from a museum in Canada. I sent it off already so can’t check on the info   The image below is an altered photo image that I cut off of a card, maybe a Christmas card? It was so Nice I didn’t want to Toss it so I altered it. Now it has a new life as Mailart. Have you done that?
