Lovely mail art, stamps of MASKS!

The way I see it—any flaw or weakness in my mail art is simply your fault & the result of your ultra high standards & clarity * I was just reading that dark chocolate is actually good for you—consequently I must be much more healthier than I look. * Please explain to me just exactly how I am supposed to be an example of sanity & logic when…

It's hard for me to work on the Internet, take photos, it's much easier for me to make a collage or emboss on paper, send it in a mail envelope. It's easier for me to do art than to post photos on the Internet ...... This is incorrigible.
