Carien created this LARGE hand-made envelope with an Amsterdam scene so vibrant one might just leap right into the picture! The paper is quite thick and glossy...perhaps a repurposed book jacket from a coffee table book...
I can imagine riding my bicycle across one of Amsterdam's bridges or lounging on one of the passenger barges as it floats through town on the canal...
The reverse side had views of colorful tulip gardens. And inside, a unique TACTILE geometric collage work, featuring some painting in purple, turquoise, and gold...
Thank you for sharing a little bit of The Netherlands with me, Carien! (It's been a long time since I visited, but I have many fond memories...)
Comment
Thanks for your post, Thom. I'm glad my envelope found you well and that Amsterdam gave you good memories. I reuse old books to make envelopes indeed (some don't understand that I tear books apart, but most mail artist don't mind at all). See you in the mailbox!
