A Week of Postcards #4

Thursday's edition comes to you in a special way. A few of the accents on the upcoming four days of AWOP were taken from a poster for my girls at BODYWORK. BIG SHOUTOUTZ to my girls DJ SWAYBACK and GWEN WEST. I've said it before and I will say it again and again: best night in Halifax.








The Bodywork poster is a dazzling disco masterpiece by the talented (and super handsome) Corey Isenor!





And the results:












Again, these are all up for grabs, just gimme a shout!

A Week of Postcards #1

I've been busy and internetless.

The thick of summer is here and change hangs in the air. I'm happy and mostly healthy these days. Maybe that's why I've been making a whole buncha stuff lately. So much stuff that I'm going to spread it out over the next seven days....

These postcards are all address-less and waiting for good homes :)

Long Gone

These mail bits went into the post about 3 months ago. I was housesitting a beautiful one bedroom apartment in the best neighbourhood in Halifax. A cat lived there who was easy to please and it was a nice three weeks in that home. I was able to get a lot of mailing done. It was just one of those places with good vibes seeping out the floorboards.

Here's what the mail bits looked like:

Received in the Post

All of these RECEIVED MAIL posts should soon be warranting a SENT MAIL post.

Soon, I assure you, soon. But I've been busy working on my small business Varity Concert and I need to make some money before I can buy some stamps!! In the meantime, here's some visual delights I've gotten in the past couple of weeks:





A great short story in a beautiful envelope from Michael. I love a good read.





Cool stuff in a cool ziploc in a cool envelope from Karen Champlin




Fun times goodies from Shirley on sendsomething.net. She says that business is real slow over there, wouldn't it be nice to throw a dog a bone and send her something in the mail?





And a fine-ass, packed-to-the-brim, oddly shaped envelope from Valentine Mark Herman in beautiful France. Filled with exactly what it says: Mail art miscellant. Delights like business cards, stamps and plastic bits. The possibilities are endless.

Recently Received From Bifidus

Check out these LAYERS and the STAMPS!! Thanks Bifidus!

Recently Received Mail from KIRA

Friend of all friends, Kira is my main gurl. This can be tricky when she lives an hour away, but we keep things fresh and exciting by sending THE BEST MAIL to each other.

For example:






And inside, a heartfelt letter with lots of secrets and THIS:





A handmade sticker alphabet, hand drawn by the typographical prowess. Now I have to be honest with you, I will probably NEVER use this alphabet and save it in the archives for forever because it's just THAT GOOD. Thank you Kira!!

RECENTLY RECEIVED: MAILART BEAUTS

Mail has been flowing a-plenty these days and I couldn't be happier.
Here's a few that I've documented:


A lovely little letter wrapped up in a sweet envelope from Jen Staggs. Tucked inside were some pretty sweet old school style faux tattoos. Jen probably doesn't know this, but applying fake tattoos are my friend's and I's perfect pre-party thing to do. I wonder if Jen knows I have a big ol' unicorn tattoo on my *ahem* "chest"? That horny tattoo is really speaking to me...






This layered and sturdy little postcard comes from Jon Foster:





And last but certainly not least, one from Diane Keys. A recent fave that sits close to home, as I sent her a package of paper goods a few months back which she has utilized in a few new pieces! Check out the post on her blog here!



Thank you everyone!

Mystery Mail Art Disc

Got this ingenius lil disc in the mail last year and I'm wondering if anyone recognizes the characteristics of it, as it has no return address! I'm assuming it came from the Mailart365 project....






Help me send a postcard in response!!

2012: The Year I Dissapointed Mail Art

I admit. 2012 was a sad year for personal import and export of mail. I've been busy.

To make up for this fact, I'm preparing about 40-50 pieces of mail to send out in a lump sum at the end of the year. They range from postcards to packages.

Don't believe me? Here's proof:

One for Valentine!
