Catching up with my
Art Every Day Month entries. You can see daily creativity at Leah's site Creative Every Day.
Day #13:
Outgoing mail day - sent out about 25 postcards.....are you on my list?
Stamping, collage, some texture, paint and words and I've got lots of mail art love going out. My mail carrier at work loves these mail art days and we actually chat for a couple minutes as she's never seen handmade cards going out (guess that makes sense since she's on a business route!).
Day #14:
My creative time today was spent in prep - I took that stack of Christmas cards I've been saving for years and cut them up - cut out the pretty front elements, cut up the words, kept scraps of pretty glittery edges. These are now going to morph into holiday cards.....(when, I'm not exactly sure....) You can see I retreated to the bedroom to do the cutting while watching TV. Big Mistake. Huge. (remember what movie that's from? - Pretty Woman when Roberts goes back to the boutique that wouldn't help her when she was dressed as a hooker but now she's a transformed, elegantly dressed woman) Anyway, my mistake? Glitter and paper bits all over the bedspread and floor! Then I had to get the vacuum out. Sigh.
Day #15
It's so gray here in Seattle, I thought I needed a reminder of warmer, more exotic days. A little digi art is the answer! Started with a palm tree photo that was also a little gray but added some background textures and now I'm ready to head back to Tahiti.
We're half way through the month - hope you all are staying creative!
Tee hee, I'm not jealous at all of the lucky recipients of your fab mail art Terrie!! Blimey you have been busy my lovely, it all looks gorgeous and is sure to brighten up their days.

Oh, how fun your mail carrier got to have a bright spot like that in her day. I love looking at all the combos! This takes me to a great memory from my early days as an artist. A seasoned artist took me under her wings and shared her favorite art ways with me. Mail art was one of those things. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteyou are a busy busy bee... those mail art cards look full of wonderful but glitter through the carpet can't be fun... I am sending you some sunshine ...xx
