| Some of you who made booklets from my tutorial were nice enough to send me the results and I am sharing them here to show the great ideas. They are all different and unique -- and each one arrived in a handmade envelope! Such creativity. |
 |
| From S.W. This black and white beauty arrived with handmade envelope, hand carved stamped and....... |
 |
| not only all that... enclosed was a great cookie recipe...... |
 |
| From L.W. Using navigational charts she picked up at an estate sale..... |
 |
| Inside......lovely.....makes me want to take a boat ride on the Potomac! |
 |
| From T.W. A lovely blue theme -- and what a good idea to use a National Geo. I hadn't thought of that... |
 |
| Inside are some great graph pages and interesting stats! Very cool. |
 |
| From Karenann Not one, but three booklets arrived from her - each one is charming and I am crazy about the perforated pages... Karenann has sent me some wonderful mail art, including some terrific postal ATC'S which I will share another time. She tells how to do another origami folder here so check it out. |
 |
| Just want to be sure you see them! I really love how each person put an individual stamp on the same process. Thanks very much to those who mailed me booklets. You will all be getting a little something from me in the mail. |

STAMP FOLDER And I've been at it too -- I decided to make some with Chinese Joss papers and leave the pages out to use as stamp holders. Clever? But I can't take credit -- it was my son's idea. |
 |
| Joss Paper Stamp Folder I can think of all sorts of things to do with these....and I have been trying out different sizes of papers |
 |
| Handmade Envelopes I've been working up a storm in my studio lately....lots and lots of collages and handmade envelopes... |
 |
| OUTGOING TO JH (I hope she doesn't see this before the envelope arrives) |
 |
| OUTGOING COLLAGED POSTCARD Sent out a weather report -- anyone coming to visit SF -- better bring a sweater! |
 |
| INCOMING I had a fabulous mail week last week -- so much beautiful mail -- thanks to all! I am working on responding to everyone. |
 |
| INCOMING See what I mean? More incoming. I am loving it! |

| MAIL ART MEET-UP Last Saturday, Bastille Day, was our July Correspondence Co-Op meeting at the SF Main Library. Yes, we are having too much fun and no, I don't know what the heck we were actually doing. Thanks to P.L.H. for taking this photo. (Ok, I admit it, yes that is me standing second from the left). I strongly suggest organizing a mail art group in your area if you don't have one. We have such a terrific time. |
 |
| Co-Op Meeting Mail art, show & tell, rubber stamps, swap table, food and drink, demos, artistamps...... and there is a rumor a certain someone is going to be writing about that last meeting very soon. I'll keep you posted! This Friday the LWA is hosting a postcard swap and this weekend is the Renegade Fair and soon the Vintage Paper Fair is coming to SF. What are all of you doing this month?
