Big Mail Art Package from Ruth Giles!

Wow, beautiful ATC's from Ruth, of course they don't show up nearly as sparkly as they are for real. The combination of colors, shapes, and text on these is really fascinating. Then, because I'm completely ignorant, I had to look up the "Stay gold" and S.E. Hinton. I've never read "The Outsiders" so I guess I need to do that. And the "Stay gold, Ponyboy" quote comes from Robert Frost's line "nothing gold can stay." It all makes perfect sense when you know how. Beautiful print. Then there's this "Mickey Rourke" print with the Charles Bukowski poem "The Barfly" -- wow! What a great fit!And, perhaps my favorite bit of this mail art package, the envelope!Thanks Ruth, I love every bit of this wonderful batch of Mail Art!

Comment by Toni Hanner -- tonipoet on January 19, 2017 at 5:46am: That is fascinating, Jan! I learn so much through being in this group of Mail Artists! I'll have to listen to that music tomorro--I'm sure I can hear it on YouTube.

Comment by Jan Hodgman on January 19, 2017 at 2:55am: An additional fact: Shostakovitch wrote music for The Barfly.

Comment by Toni Hanner -- tonipoet on January 19, 2017 at 1:29am: Ah, see, I told you I was ignorant! LOL! It totally reads like a Bukowski poem, so I think he's not rolling in his grave at all. Good work!

Comment by RUTH GILES on January 17, 2017 at 11:01pm: Glad you liked it Toni. I have to correct you though, before Bukowski rolls in his grave - I wrote the poem (about Barfly the movie in which Mickey Rourke attempts not to look gorgeous).
