Love to see your experiments! Would you like to start? I'm in the process of moving houses and kind of stuck between boxes, but I'll send as soon as possible!!

Svenja, I would LOVE to exchange some mail art made from old book pages! I tried watercolor but it wasn't very vibrant. Any suggestions? Lesley, I bet you have many tips for adding art elements on old pages too! I'd love to exchange with you, too!

You are so right Svenja! From maps, to encyclopaedias to old English poetry to old gardening books and it goes on ....vast range of interests!

I always giggle to myself when I go to my favorite second-hand bookseller because he has to think I have a verrrrrry broad range of interests ...

Oh yes, I have been working on old books for ages, painting and drawing on them. I don't think it's "destroying" them, they are being given a new life!

Kokabella, I'm "destroying" a lot of books for my mail art too! Shall we swap? ;-)
