| If you follow this blog I know you like postage stamps -- and mail and collage -- and looking at inspiring photos. So, I must share with you, my friend Margarete's new and charming little book -- One Stamp at a Time. I just bet you're going to want a copy too..... |
 |
| This book is filled with lovely collages with postage stamps as a element. That's right up my alley. It's the perfect size to tuck in a bag and take with you to browse through on the streetcar or in a cafe... |
 |
| I still can't get over Margarete found this giant BEE stamp at Scrap before me. Good thing I like her so much. |
 |
| Aren't you getting inspired? |
 |
| I love the faux postamrls she often includes too....if you have stamps you need postmarks, right? |
 |
| The mail art and collages Margarete sends me are some of my favorite things. This a sheet of rolodex cards I haven't been able to bring myself to separate. I like them just the way they are. |
 |
| Here are some collages ATC's she made me...also unseparated... So, if you wan t to get your hot little hands on this cool book, here you go-- One Stamp at a Time (you know you want it) And, if you order, would you do me favor and tell her you heard about the book here? I'd appreciate it. And let me know what you think, ok? |
SEND GOOD MAIL --GET GOOD MAIL
(and go make some collages too)
I'm in love. I am putting this on my wish list, since my birthday will be here soon. Her collages and ATCs are SO inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth -- I hope someone sees the book on your wish list and you get a copy. When IS your birthday? I'm an Aries too so maybe it is the same day?
DeleteLooks like someone (HMMM) sent some wonderful fodder so I can make a few of my own ATCs and enhance my collages, too. THANK YOU beyond belief.
DeleteIt may sound crazy, but once I got my internet back Monday, I have done nothing but play catch-up. I finally checked my mail a few minutes ago and found your package. Bleubeard and I are thrilled beyond belief. Now I'm off to open and photograph it... Whatever it is, I'll show it on Tuesday during T time.
I forgot to show your gift today because I was running very late with a post I decided to change, but I will show it on April 8. BTW, my birthday is on Earth Day, not in March like yours. I call it bEARTHday. I'm actually on the cusp.
DeleteWhat a great book for sure! Yep,gonna get it and when I do I will let her know you turned me on to it!
ReplyDeleteI love her art as well and she inspires me too!
On those last two atc's is that real money affixed to these or just thick paper or cardstock?
Jackie ")
Jackie -- those are real coins! They made it -- I tried that once on postcards I made but the coins came off in the mail. I'm glad you are going to get Margarete's book -- I think you will have fun looking at it.
DeleteI ordered TWO so I could gift a friend - she does some wonderful art :)
ReplyDeleteJewels -- I think you both will really enjoy the book. Inspiring and fun to browse. Thanks for ordering.
Delete(I'm blushing) Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm truly glad that you like it. That 6" x 6" is such a cute book size, right? It's a little different and it can fit easily into a bag to take somewhere. I like that idea :-)
ReplyDeleteawwwwwww.......you know I love your work......and i love the small size to carry around and look at....
DeleteOh my goodness! That book is just gorgeous! It will be my birtday soon too (the 12th) but I am afraid it will be too late to ask for it. Maybe when I get my first paycheck at the end of the month...
ReplyDeleteTomoyoHime -- Happy birthday to you! I think you should ask for it -- it would be a little late but something to look forward to!
DeleteThanks for the info on this great little book. I placed and order and mentioned I learned about it here! When is your book coming out? Hint! Hint!
ReplyDeleteHi! I am happy to hear you are getting a copy. And yeah -- where IS MY book???? I was just thinking it would be fun to make one -- Maybe Margarete will tell me where se had hers printed.......hummmmmm
