A question, experiment, memory and colours in my mailbox

Lindsay has captured my imagination with this card! I have ideas ricocheting around in response. My first mailart with 365 involved an old board game and she has reminded me of their potential again too!What a great card and I love the teeny tiny canadian stamps on the back too.

Received this watercolour from the Anza Borrego.  The mailartist described it as a 'diabolical medium'.  I can feel the heat and the rainlessness, something we long for here in rainy old England. Fabulous! I love that we feel we can experiment outside of our chosen media in the realm of mailart - experimenting is always good!

 Very late in responding to this from Melissa (craftgasm). It was the perfect reminder.  My own kids are pretty much grown up but we had some little cousins here to stay and gathered eggs in the garden - none were as pretty as the collaged eggs on this card, though.

I have always adored colbalt violet.  I would save and save to buy tubes when I was a student. So when Laura Podob's #328/365 on the mosaic, I let her know I needed this card!

Thank you all for my mailart!
