Two Sealed Packages

And you'll never know what's in them, unless you're Kira Daube or Mary England.

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:

BIG END OF THE YEAR MAILING!

At the end of 2012, I sent out many packages to many of my favourite corresponders.

I really felt like a lacked in the mail art department for most of 2012 and this was my way of making it up to people who sent to me, regardless of weather I responded promptly or at all. For that, I thank you. One and all.

I've been a little late on the documentation, but here it is!

WONDERING WHERE I'VE BEEN?

I've been busy, the opposite of dead.

A little opportunity has crept up on me and I'M OPENING A STORE! Well, TOMORROW, I`m opening a store.

Pictures to come soon.

Anyways, here's some mail I've been meaning to get around to posting for y'all!



For Dear Stephy, my partner in crime on the west coast.






Something a lil risque for another Steph, this one in Florida. Steph sent me a freakin BEAUTY of a postcard a while back with drips and other creepy things. One of my recent faves, fer sure.




For Angie Cope in Port Washington!






For sweetheart Bianca in Australia. Gurl makes the coolest shit and has a great style!




Long overdue mail for Mary England in Maryland. This girl has sent me some great stuff and this postcard hopefully relays the sentiment that I appreciate her mail, and soon she will get something to make up for my tardiness.






For DK in Illinois!




For April Kam, all the way in Hong Kong!






For my Canadian Favourite, Dewi in Toronto:




For MADGE (Deserves to be capitalized) in Spokane:



More and more and more things coming soon!

More Sent Mail!

Just as I promised, a few more things I am sending out. Mostly to folks in the IUOMA, but also some friends.

I've really been enjoying making these lately. It's been coming naturally, which I can't honestly say happens all the time. I've been crafting with a good friend of mine who pushes me to explore different materials and compositions. A key example of this is the vintage letraset strips as seen on Jen's postcard.

Down to business!




For Kiera in Montreal, this was one of my faves of the bunch. I've been into trying more minimal elements in my postcards. More white, more deadspace.




A pep talk for Joanna Carabante in California




For my good good friend Jen. I'm pretty sure she's on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia, but that girl is a west coast trotter, and I love her for it.




This one's for Robyn Wells who makes purdy purdy things: http://www.robayre.com/
