I've been thinking.....

I've been thinking about hosting a Mail Art event and wondering what the theme, exhibition location etc could be. My latest thoughts have been to gather all the works I receive and pin them to a large overcoat.

There's something delightful in telegraphing the idea that all of us can be creative - even if we don't necessarily all call ourselves, 'artists' - and we all can have a voice, be seen, contribute to a conversation.

Claire Humphrys, our Odyssey

In the meantime Claire sent me this lovely collage, with a warm personal note. A beautiful stamp is also printed on her envelope! Thank you Claire! <3…
