Mailart013

Laurence admired another mailart piece that I made using something cropped from a larger collage. The collage in the center front is another piece from the same earlier work. Texts surrounding it come from Google Books, and the supporting members are hand-drawn.

The verso background is a book cover, also from Google Books. One of the texts on the front is taken from it.The face is scrap from my library holiday collage.

It's not immediately apparent, but this is relatively large-format, around 6"x9". It's my first mailart piece larger than a standard postcard.

Comment by Plush Possum Studio-Rose McGuinn on February 3, 2011 at 8:49pm: I like Thomas' question here.Yes, what is the protocol for the keeping of a photo log here?

But what drew me here was, obviously, the fine collage/mixed media piece above. My respect for you all is growing by leaps and bounds!

Comment by Karl G. Siewert on January 15, 2011 at 6:22pm: I do both, but I don't upload sent ones until I know they've been received.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on January 15, 2011 at 6:00pm: that is an option but not an obligation.....

Comment by Thomas Arnold Marino on January 15, 2011 at 5:37pm: I like this work. Question: does one upload a mail art that you made and also ones that were sent to you?
