ALL GURL CRAFT NIGHT

All girls, all crafts, all the time.

I'd like to thank Anna for hosting a motley crew on Easter weekend for crafts n' snacks n' other things!



I made some little mini collages on simple mailing labels. I'm a sucker for a re-imagined office supply. I'd love to send a couple of these around in the mail to get stuck up in public places. Is anyone interested? Will you snap a quick pic for me?? YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Travelling Collage Book Fun Time with Hugh Brisman!

A long ass time ago, I traded some mail with Hugh Brisman. He sent me a couple add n' pass books in his package. Here's some evidence of the damage I did, along with seemingly several other mystery artists!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

I've got a lot of mail in the works right now, and thankfully with this new job, your girl can finally afford some postage. It's a real mixed bag here, with letters, postcards, and packages for mail buds and real buds, too. Don't mind the poor paint job/grimey-ness on the nails.





Something for Brittany (Ukulele?) in a handmade envelope. Cut from a great big massive book of photos-all taken in ONE DAY in California.





And one for Juli (AKA Girlonaglide) on sendsomething.net also in a handmade envelope from an astronomy/space book. It was a week ago when I packed these envelopes up and my best guess is that they contain a letter and other things. Anything more specific would not be very indicative of my memory capacity.





For Lily S. May in Toronto, a thank you postcard!




Small square corrugated cardboard postcard (sure is a mouthful) for enviable Shirley Cerdas in Costa Rica!

Two more things:

For Bianca Jagoe:








For good friend Jen Poole who is easily the best person I know for staying touch when she moves to the other side of the continent.

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:

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.
