Great card from Wisconsin and an ATC - I will have to cut up some of the cardboard the post office sends to back the stamps and use it for ATC's.…

Love my fat package of…

Rotations is a cut-up of a photo of a painting by Claudia. Beautiful!

I first hosted Friends & Faux back in 2010 and it was an awesomely fun project to co-ordinate. The project postcards feature ‘gallery’ spaces for 8 artistamps/faux postage stamps which are filled up as they are passed from one mail artist to the next before the completed card finally returns home.  I decided it was time for this project to live again!  For full details of…
