A postcard from Jenn :-)

Another fabulous art mail from MotherBrando

Inside the justice art envelope i recieved another atc jam, that has been added to by myself, Fleur H, and MotherBrando. again a wonderful atc i get to keep.

I like the tissue paper envelope. Im surprised it did survive the mailing system as it does have a delicate fragile feel to it, but it must be stronger than it feels. nice colours too.

inside, I recieved my card return from a duo I sent out to her, I like how it turned out once she completed my art on it.

Also included was a trio jam started by…

a mosaic made from all the shreddings of old add n passes. lovely and colourful

I enjoy seeing all the collabs int he artiststamps with other artists. I aim to take part in his latest collab.

Ann Golden sent me a mini zine about cats :-) and a tag and atc for me as well as a duo jam for me to take part in with her and my share from a trio jam I took part in a short time ago.…

Three or four months ago I sent out 6 mini board books out to various addresses, to add art and pass onto others to add stuff. I did have one returned to me, but as it still had a couple of blank pages that got skipped, I sent it out again recently.

I have had one of the other books from the set come back to me all filled up with art.

lets hope…

For a long time I have had rubber stamps that were preloved but badly mounted. So today, I have spent a few hours carefully removing the old foam and glue from the stamps. After doing all this, Im now organising my stamps into catagories so I can find things better. This is gonna take a day or so longer than I intended. I have lots to sort through.

Mail incoming from Jenn. Several add n passes, which I'll have fun adding to and a cool ATC. I love the quirky atc its fun, thanks. keep a watch out for some mail. I dont know when it will be, as im not very organised and I'm overseas from you. lol.…

Another lovely mail art envie came today, this time from MotherBrando

An add n pass sheet to do my thing on and forward it on its way. And a cute handmade postcard for me with a couple of US quarters to help fill some gaps in my collections.…

A short while ago I sent out 6 mini add n pass books out to 6 different places and sat back and waited :-)

Thank you Momkat for the lovely art mail…

A wonderful package from Peg today. A couple of ATC tri-jams for me to take part in. A nice little haul of american quarters to add to my state quarter collection map folder I just need to unstick them from the paper to add them to the folder and to mark them from my list in my profile, lol. Also a nice handmade card with a matching atc for my collection.

I do love getting fun things in the mail, it really does make me happy.…

Ive got a few manufactured rubber artistamps that I sometimes use. I recently managed to get hold of a pair of sizzix dies to use in my Big shot die cutting/embossing machine. They did cost me a small fortune as they are a retired dies set and there was a 4 way fight for this particular auction - needless to say, with coaching from my dearest husband, I won them at a cost, but I did really want them.…

My recent mail has brought me some lovely mail art from

After recieving a beautiful postcard from Olena (see a previous blog post) I remembered that I had a gelli printing mat that I have hardly used in the few years I've owned it. So I dug it out along with my acrylic paints to run off a few simple textured prints onto some pages from a damaged book I have laying around for such art.

I'm a little out of practice and I also need to accumilate some more printing mask stencils and textures for varied prints, but Its fun to do.

I used…
