I've been thinking.....

I've been thinking about hosting a Mail Art event and wondering what the theme, exhibition location etc could be. My latest thoughts have been to gather all the works I receive and pin them to a large overcoat.

In the meantime Claire sent me this lovely collage, with a warm personal note. A beautiful stamp is also printed on her envelope! Thank you Claire! <3…
