Aspirin to Marie Antoinette - from Lisa Iversen @ Skybridge Studios

No return address on the card but I am pretty sure this is Lisa's beautiful calligraphy. I hope I am right! If I am not, well, it is still a fantastic handwriting, painted on a thick book cover. Another "give it away" is the line about Marie Antoinette (about as much help as aspirin would have been to Marie Antoinette). I might be wrong here again but it looks like something Lisa would have cleverly included.  The card is extremely well crafted, with fragments of a story masterfully told between text and image. A really great card, thank you!! My Skybridge Studios collection was getting dangerously low :-))

Superb mail art, I can't understand a thing about this story - and I love that!

Beautiful calligraphy, dictionary text fragment, great collage...

and the cancellation on the US postage stamps is "NOR.....     "

That's definitely Lisa in North Manchester, Indiana :-)

I think it's Skybridge because she likes those dictionary lists, otherwise it's not the usual imagery, almost like Bifidus. But I think Skybridge.

Do your vanishing act? The fortune tellers story? Does Lisa know Skybridge know something we don't?  IS it Skybridge??
