As I noted in my last Postcard Friendship Friday post, I did the lower example usually one an evening at least the last two months I was in Vietnam. This is one that did not meet requirements for the Free Mail privilege because my return address is not in the upper left hand corner. But – who cares? I know I didn’t! This is one that for whatever reason has not lost all of its color although it hasn’t been treated any differently.
The first one is in response to Marie Reed's post of a LARGE LETTER postcard from her home town last Friday. I thought I’d toss this one in as a bonus. Have I done any Old Paper Art lately? The answer is a resounding NO. I’m busy doing Federal Duck Covers to support my old paper buying habit, and just wait until you see my most recent purchase!
I've received several comments already this morning regarding the 'postcards'. I have to admit that they are really NOT postcards. They are really 'mail art' masquerading as cards. They are envelopes. The LARGE Letter did not go through the mail. It is called a First Day Cover. I have subscribers who purchase one of every issue that I do when the USPS issues new stamps.
Those are beautiful covers. I love the Vietnam one.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Dave

Thank you for sharing.

Happy Trails
Lovely postcards....great color
ReplyDeleteI owe you some mail art but have been very busy. I will try to put something together next week.
Have a beautiful weekend.
I love both cards. I like the way you used the Montana stamp as part of your artwork. Really nice. By the way, Big Sky Whole Wheat Bread is my total favorite. Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI do like that big sky card. I thought it was an envelope at first but wondered where the address was.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. Having no creative ability myself, I have to rely on others producing for my pleasure. :)
ReplyDeleteAbe,
ReplyDeleteThe address is along the bottom edge. And it did indeed get delivered - just the way you see it.
Mail art is OK by me!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous and I love mail art...

Well, as you know, I am the mail art priestess...or maybe you didn't know? Well then, perhaps it's time to rectify that. Oh, and thanks for stopping on by and leaving a comment. Are you participating in the DisCo?
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in becoming a subscriber who purchases one of every issue that I youwhen the USPS issues new stamps. Your work is truly phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question about the electrocuted squirrel. He was hanging there still last evening and I think he is still there this morning. I took so many pictures of him that I lost interest.
ReplyDeleteI slept under a blanket last night. This has been the coldest July ever recorded here in Ohio where we live. And it was only 59 F here this morning. August is starting out to be more of the same. I fear a climate change is on the way and each year will disrupt the lives of more birds and butterflies to say nothing about the polar bears.
Beautiful covers !! I am lucky to find you blog..Great..I am now your follower..Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteI was just dropping by to check out your blog and I found this post. I must say that’s a beautiful post card. Is that for sale?
ReplyDeleteFun work. I like it.
