Thanks for stopping by. What are you up to? Do tell?
I spent part of last night organizing my mail art from friends/artists!
 A whole bin for postcards. A great collection I am blessed with. 

sloppy label, all boxes look the same

postcards

Next will be some fabulous envelopes, another big group. 

mail art envelopes received

The basket on the right has mixed stuff to sort, ugh.

Funny how when you try to organize one thing, you tear up 

three of four other things that will need to be "addressed"

Just because ...

2GN2S: 

Great mail!

Some days are better mail days than others,  

a great mail day is when your mailbox has handmade mail! 

When someone not only thinks of you but 

makes something and mails it, it is special.

Three days in a row, three postcards ...

I had an acrylic background on a large sheet of w/c paper.

Just large brushstrokes of colors I rarely use.

I folded then tore it into 12 postcard pieces.

Then I used a pencil then marker to draw ...

I started in with torn pieces from a catalog.

I use Scotch Permanent glue stick and a brayer to adhere.

I like to use text for texture, but always sideways or upside down.

Working on a background is new for me.

Branching out.
