Mail Art Monday: Experiments & Exchanges

July 16, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Here we are again – another Monday. I’m not going to mention the weather, or the ‘r’ word. I’m boycotting it. This week, my Mail Art coming-and-goings have been dominated by two things – the second IUOMA Arty Slide exchange, and Andy Hoang’s plot at ‘Real’. OUTGOING The first Arty Slide artist to receive slides from me was Angie Cope in the US, who received these two ‘transparent’ slides… … and this bonus ATC (artist trading card) tag.

May 14, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Happy Monday (if there is such a thing!) Here’s a run-down of the Mail Art happenings at my place this week. OUTGOING I’ll kick off this week with this machine stitched card for Amy Irwen in the US. The circus flyer in the middle was picked up in Spain, and I felt the ace of spades fitted in well to make this almost sinister looking card. She likes it, though, thankfully! Patrice Keats finally received this ‘card’, made from lots of little cereal box circles sandwiched between craft paper and some red ‘mesh’. It’s held together with some proudly neat [...]
