CUT/PASTE

Look at these here:

Bigger and better collages than I`m used to making!

From Ana Karina

BACON MAIL ART SMOKES?!


This girl knows the way to my heart. A perfect combination!




Just had to show you the back of this envie. Speaking of ENVIE, I'm envious of this stamp, fo sho.




And inside?



Thanks Ana Karina!

SPOTLIGHT ON: Jen Poole

My gurl from different times, Jen, travels all up n' down the West Coast. She's following her dreams. She's landed a school in Cali and I couldn't be happier for her. She also sends some great mail to me. Lots of sewn envelopes and pieced together collages with some good stories to bulk them out.



Here's the most recent lil guy. Meow!




She's resourceful in the best way possible, making her envelopes out of some interesting and tactile materials.

AND MORE MAIL FOR ME

This never gets old:


A real nicey from Valentine Mark Herman. You can see more of his work at www.val-herman-art.eu




And the back is my favourite with the cursive and the diagrams and the stamps, oh my:





Look at this from Carina in Finland. Her attention to details (lots of 'em!) is impressive!




And the back. I love the combo of graphic and DIY feelings:





This simple but effective envelope form Jon Foster contained a zine filled with tales of lands far off. A great read that entertained a few lunch hours for me. Thanks again Jon!

MORE MAIL FOR ME

FROM YOU!

Catching up on my documentation, always a great way to spend a sunny (but cold) afternoon.




This one's from April Kam in Hong Kong. Inside I found some really great blood (red ink) soaked financial information, half in english, half in very foreign writing. Real curious, and real cool.





This beaut's from DK in the States. Really into that bleedy watercolour in the background. Thanks!





If you know me at all, you know I love jokes and swear words. This one's from Sarah Churchill in the UK. Sarah, how did you know?





Dewi always impresses, amiright?

Don't Forget About Me

I'm still here, I swear, I'm just takin' 'er real easy (sleazy).







I wanted to tell y'all about the sweet mail I've been saving up to show you.


Here's a beautiful lil' mini guy from one of my forever closest friends, Kira. She's been all over everywhere. I hear talks about Cali and New Orleans and one of my second homes, Toronto. I love her A LOT.




And look at this beautiful handwriting:






This next package is from my party gurl Steph, and is basically the whole reason I haven't had time to update my blog in the past few months. She's up and moved to Vancouver for a little while. Maybe you'll see me around more often. Check out her mail style. REAL NICE.




The back: Just as nice!





And inside, a beautiful little flappy book with a note on the inside. I cannot divulge in a girls secrets, but I can assure you the note was filled with scratchy stories of cute boys and outfits. TYPICAL.






I have much much more coming real real soon.
