I made two postcards to go out (one to Jane to help save her post office!) I'm finally letting myself use pieces of decorated papers I received in the MMSA swap months ago. It's SO hard for me to cut them up, but when I saw how beautifully Jo used papers I sent her in some of her recent collages, I decided it was time. The bottom one is all pieces of papers gifted or swapped to me! Also, note the use of hearts for my own personal 'motif of the month'. :)
Mail art opportunities abound so if you'd like to fill your mailbox with something other than junk mail and bills, this is the year to join in! A good place to start is MMSA (mail me some art) - Karen hosts weekly themed swaps and makes it so easy to participate....
your mail art is always such a treasure, Terrie. I really love when you post it and tell a little about it. it is precisely THAT which has made me eager to join in on the fun!!
ReplyDeleteQuite nice Terrie. I was just looking at those painted papers yesterday and I have not cut them up either. Now after seeing this I will. xox

ReplyDeletefantastic use of those papers.
ReplyDeletehi terrie, great post cards! I like the "Love" one best, the combo of purple and green looks so spectacular.

Good girl! Those papers are meant to be used. I love the map peeking out from below. Thanks for the mention.
ReplyDeleteHi Terrie,
ReplyDeleteRemember me! LOL I know it's been so long since I visited.
Having been the recipient of some of your mail art, I can personally say how fantastic it is to receive such vibrant envelopes containing pure delightful papers within!
Certainly puts a smile on your face for the rest of the day! :D
Have a wonderful weekend xoxo
Oh I know how hard it is to make that first tear or cut... but the results are fantastic!
