Amy Irwen's Blog – June 2015 Archive (8)

two great pieces within 2 weeks of each other....I am "Special"...we all recognize Ruud's special artie envelopes, but I was so happy when there were "special" items inside...

1st Envelope

surprise #1....Archive Print

Envelope #2…

I never know what to expect each time I receive a mail art envelope from Suus....it started with the envelope; see through with tissue wrapped around some piece that had no weight and tied with a ribbon...I couldn't wait to open it to see what it held inside....and WOW! is was a book mark on hand made paper and hand stitched. Such a treasure Suus and I thank you so much...hugs <3…

The Day Jane Snorted Cocoa Puffs...don't try this at home...

I just LOVE Melissa's sense of humor...her digital work is pure FUN!

Along with the card came a few rubber stamps that Melissa has gifted to me...Thank you for the Mail Art Surprise…

a awesome mail art envelope...with the circles it reminds me a space and how fast it actually moves...on the back/address side of the envie Linda writes "this envelope is like a chocolate-covered beetle; nice enough on the outside, but with an unpleasant center. A combination of mailart and bad poetry, it is an attempt to appeal in both areas. Just so you know.  This is #49 in a series of quite a few."

art envelope...…

Emily has been experimenting with hand made papers. This piece has red fibers running through the with the ends hanging free....imaginative and fresh...then placed on top is a Block Print...simple and powerful.

and then to top it off is a small "dada" poem...super...Emily, much thanks…

Lovely collage PC from Brooke. I love the colors and the lines that disrupt the music...much like base.

thank you Brooke!

Amy M. sent this gorgeous arty envelope lined inside with duct tape...here it is front and back...

inside was a new addition to my Rolodex art project....it is double exposure photography...self portrait..…

I also want to thank Edition Janus-Eberhard Janke for all the work that goes into the documentation that is sent out...Danke

I only copied the front cover and the original call for art...

for all those interested in the next Mail Art…
