Spirit of Place - from Helen Amyes

[Marie Wintzer]

Helen's handmade paper envelope with stitches all around was so beautiful, I first thought that this was it, it wasn't meant to be opened. The Spirit of Place stamp on the thick paper with dried leaves could easily pull it off as a piece on its own. I almost missed the snip, snip, snip instructions. I almost missed the little sandpaper booklet! A precious haptic booklet with familiar stamps by Helen, white grains of sand on fragile rice paper. A beauty. Thank you so much Helen, I will try to send you a Spirit of Place soon.

Thank you my genki people, I'm treasuring this booklet. I didn't know it was especially clean German sand :-)))

Helen was a bit absent from mail-art for a while. I missed her. Now she has come back with work and projects so incredibly strong - it was worth the wait. Every day I come to the IUOMA to see what she'll do next. CB, your photos are THE BEST.

Beautiful photo's and blog again :-) This has been quite a project for Helen - seeing it up like this and knowing these booklets are traveling the world - bringing their own spirit of place - FAB :-)
