Received two lovely postcard from Cherub Ayers (Oxford, OH) in July:
Picture
The first postcard features sea life (the postage stamp matches perfectly). I love the texture and 3D elements. Cherub used decoupage, watercolor, ink, label and sealant to make the card.

Does the name JDIMYTAI DAMOUR ring a bell? No? That’s alright if it doesn’t, but I’m hoping after you read this you will never forget him. I know I won’t.

In this last quarter of 2019 I received two postcards from the talented Tim Collapse (Altamahaw, NC). The one I’m featuring in this blog post was received in September. It is a vintage postcard of the Chicago Creek Road (Colorado) which has been altered with four strips of paper, each a different color and design. With the scenic postcard picture still visible, Tim’s add-ons give it a whole new texture.

Stay tuned for a post on the second card I received from Mr. Collapse. Thanks a bunch, Tim!

Series of Mixed Media Tags

12/9/2019

0 Comments

 
In November I made 15 mixed media tags to send to fellow mail artists. It took a  few weeks to complete the series, and I mailed out the first batch on November 26. The remaining tags were dropped in the mail box this afternoon.
Picture
​To achieve the look of these cards, I did the following:
  1. Primed the paper with gesso.
  2. Added a coat of pink-ish acrylic paint.
  3. Glued collage elements - torn bits from vintage non-fiction books.
  4. Rubber stamped vintage images - black ink.
  5. Added some blue-ish paint.
  6. Affixed pink and blue washi tape.
  7. Finished off the surface with a layer of Mod Podge.
  8. Used a punch tool to round the corners.
  9. ​Punched a hole at the top and added a ribbon.
The tags were mail to the following mail artists:
  1. Kristen Hermanny (Palatine, IL)
  2. Jules S. (Coweta, OK)
  3. Fast Eyes (Fairfax Station, VA)
  4. Amy Irwen (Rosemount, MN)
  5. Catherine Kanvik (Charlotte, NC)
  6. Judy Staroscik (Manchester, MO)
  7. Darling Darlene (Knoxville, TN)
  8. Samantha Price (Nashua, NH)
  9. Martine Latrille (Capbreton, France)
  10. Pam McVay (Nine Mile Falls, WA)
  11. Eléna Amette (Thorigny Sur Oreuse, France)
  12. Norma Soulet (Port Saint Lucie, FL)
  13. Lorella Castagnini (Genova, Italy)
  14. Linda Rogers (Toronto, Canada)
  15. Sabela Baña (A Coruña, Spain)
