For the last several days, I've been creating new envelopes--some of them are anticipating October and Halloween. Painting and collage are messy pastimes, and my hands are frequently covered in paint, ink, and glue. The studio is a disaster, and each time I make an effort to clean and straighten something turns up to distract me (ooh, I found an image, a favorite quote, a tag, what if I cut out this, don't I have ____ SoMeWheRe?). Still, slowly, but surely, I'm replenishing my supply of envelopes.
Incoming Mail:
My grands were here when this one arrived,
and they loved it!
Even the back is wonderful :)
I love this stamp on Cheryl's postcard!
and I think I will! Read more books, that is.
Outgoing Mail:
Sticker on the back is from Naomi Bulger :)
and the backs--
so you can see the return address labels
Naomi sent in her Snail Mail Kit!
What delightful and inspiring mail, Jen! It makes me wish I could keep up with myself and EVERYTHING that I want to do and all right now. LoL
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie! I can't keep up with everything I want to do, either. Very frustrating, because as much as I want to do the laundry and mop the floors--I just can't manage. :)
DeleteI love to look at the mail art you send and receive. I wish art came easy to me.

I just slap on paint, use a gelli plate, use rubber stamps,or cut and paste. Some people, like Naomi and Limner, are real artists, but I have fun with my versions. :)
DeleteThese are intriguing as usual. Glad you are having an enjoyable end to the summer--at the camp, with the grandkids and other relatives--even if some of the visit was the result of the BR floods. Will you bring out your Eccentrics for Halloween this year? That's another treat for the eyes. Patty & Dave coming into town next month sometime--his 50th high school reunion.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teresa! Yep, the Eccentrics will come out again this year, but oddly, I have not made a Halloween figure yet this year. I'd love to see Patty & Dave--it has been a while!
DeleteOh my goodness! Birds on a wire is adorable. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSome people are so creative, I'll bet it's hard for them to sleep as these wonderful images that come to them surely cannot be turned off!
:) I love Limner's birds!
DeleteWhat fun - a very cheering postbox!
