My first from Nikoya Mills. I heard that her mail art is unique, but until you really hold it in your hand, you just don't know.
A mix of wax, glue, sewing, and everything under the sun. The feel of the wax is lovely. It's fun!

I also melted some plastic on there and I can't remember what I used because I haven't gotten anything to melt as wonderfully as that plastic.

Katerina, wax that you say, wax in Mail Art?  Never ... well maybe.

Is this the "lost wax"? :-)

It looks really rich with textures...beautiful!

Lucky you, Dean...now can we expect wax-in-the-mail, too?

Chopped up books ... stop giving me these ideas.  I can't take it anymore!

Yes Penguins... I've chopped up a children's book about penguins so they will probably appear in more of my stuff.  Thanks everyone for the support!  I just have fun and hope it will look all right when I'm done.  There are plenty of pieces that never make it past my desk.  And Dean you are a funny guy :)... and I am really pleased about the wax.  It is a fun medium and with a heat gun you can do it at your desk!

Way out of my artistic league ... you are a very funny lady Nikoya.  I was very inspired by your use of wax, and I used it in a birthday card.  I'll send you a copy later, and yes, I gave you credit on the birthday card.
