I have a confession to make - I still haven't opened your envelope! It's so beautiful and so tightly wrapped I can't figure out how to open it without damaging it's loveliness! At least it's the weekend now and I can puzzle over it for a few days! The contents will obviously be up on my REAL wall as soon I figure out how to open it!

How timely - you messaged me just as I was settling in for the night with all manner of sharp devices. I don't really think the craft knife is a good idea. I just worry the the contents will get damaged if I dig too deeply. Any tips that can avoid damaging it?

I really don't want to hurt that awesome skull either. It's awesome!

Oct 30, 2009
andytgeezer

Ha! I've finally opened it by finding a tiny chink in the sellotape armour and going at it with the craft knife for a nice clean cut!

...and yes you certainly got my attention!

:-D

Thank you Jennlui for your words...I am having much fun too with our exchanges. I think too that every project is a special 'custom made' thought that makes every work so inspiring and refreshing..I really enjoy receiving your artwork.
I was working on some ATCs but I am not really happy with the results so I will leave them there to decant for a while, at the moment stamps give me great satisfaction. I'll send you some more as soon as I finish some due mailart.
I wish you a nice day!

Hi again Jennlui, this is why I love mail art, it usually does inspire me. At some random moment when I go out to the mail box, thinking my regular worries or day to day thoughts....BAM, a piece of art surprises me, and done in a way I've never tried...it truely is inspiring. And it's so nice to meet people like you :)

I tell you I'm feeling uninspired and you cheer me up....so sweet, thank you! I will be looking forward to your minibook :) And I am absolutely positive it will inspire me, because the fun Paris/crown collage just sent me day dreaming! I love it! It sits at my computer and keeps me company :) Have a good day! Marianne

Your REAL post is gonna come with me to Vienna in a few hours for the weekend too, so if you are wondering why it's not on the wall over the weekend, it's cos it's out seeing the sights in Austria! :-D

Excellent piece Jenn! It feels you are slowly sending me through body parts. Really evocative colours. Very impressed with the way you brought the colours out.

Will read the book on the plane.

Oh my goodness!! Jennlui! What a fabulous envie I just got! First of all, it's almost too pretty to open up...I was afraid I might ruin the look of it. But I did manage to get in without damage.....I just loooove your little book! Just wonderful, and very inspirational! I'm on track again :)

Thank you for the wonderful mail art! I can't wait to show it to my family !! :D

Thank you so much for your beautiful envelope filled with treasures! I have read other comments asking you how to open it without ruining the envelope, so I was ready with a "kopidi", as we say in Greek. Very carefully,
like an experienced surgeon, I traced the edge and yes! it opened perfectly.
Beautiful little book, and I agreed wholeheartedly: I LOVE Mail Art... because my mail box was FULL today...it is a happy mail box,
and I am happy, too!
Many thanks...mail art coming your way :-)
Agapi,
