Chimerastone's Blog (10)

This arrived yesterday and probably will last post I will receive because of the Postal Strike on 4th November.On the back is address. Nothing I can do until the it finishes I hope for only a day. Thanks for mailart Patrol.

The picture quality is not so good because I took them with my phone using flash and my scanner is rather temperamental.

From Cernjul Viviana I hope I got the name correct. A lovely collaged postcard.

More machine stitched atcs from Amy…

These arrived last month and I have either been extremely busy or trying to overcome insomnia not helped by someone who insist on sleep at 4am and still managed to wake at 11am.

Anyway here are some arrivals.

This is from An. U.- collaged postcard and two atcs. I love this simple and refined style.…

Last week this appeared, I've seen an envelope quite like it.

Inside revealed to be 3 ATCs on of them used the dye handmade paper I've sent in other mailart to her.

Distress Stains are great to use but due random nature it can be difficult to…

Sadly I still haven't had some time to make for personal work even postcrossing is on hold. But there is what Vizma Brun sent me. A lovely mixed media envelope with some goodies inside. She left me a wonderful note, I've sent something to her 2 weeks ago. Royal Mail are so stupid they sent me back an mail which was suppose to be USA, luckily the stamp is unfranked and it was hasn't been returned to me. I hope all my mail arrive okay.…

I'm in the process of simplifying my…

This was unexpected and appeared in the post yesterday, I was extremely tired and unable to gain access to my laptop.

I knew immediately the stamped image is self portrait and has such fine details. I haven't get much carved eraser stamps in my stash and trying to new German lino cutting tools- 1mm grooving and 3mm vein. It's almost impossible to be creative under…

This appeared in the post along with 2 postcrossing postcards which is bonus I only get the same amount to ones sent. it's complicated I'm aiming for 25 so I can send more. I wish they would appreciate handmade postcards.

The envelope, ATC and goodies is from Judy Stariscik, she makes a good use of washi tape and matches the stamped zig zag wave. I'll send something…

I make my own envelopes from anything I can find magazines, flyers and leaflets. If I get more time I often decorate them.

This is was a few days ago and feels like more of crafter's style with eclectic and touch of distress. In saying this I haven't received a richly decorated envelope from crafters. I find that Mail artist have abstract, minimalist style yet full of…

I don't really blog in here because have on at http://csab-mailart.blogspot.co.uk . Only get updated when something new is made or exciting stuff arrive in the post. I continue to make atcs and started to make a return on postcards.

Sometimes stuff gets lost in post to me and to receipt ant, this is beyond my control I make sure the address is legible.

Here are few postcards I've made.…
