| I am trying to keep things tidy...really I am.....but I find I seem to work better when everything is right out and in my face and I can get inspired... |
 |
| ...I made these two collaged postcards by pulling from the paper ephemera on my work table...see what I mean? |
 |
| Ok, I admit, those wire shelves are getting pretty darn filled up with STUFF... but I can't help myself when there are free tables at the various mail art events I've been going to... In fact, this has been a great week for mail art fun. The SF Correspondence Co-Op celebrated our one year birthday at a party last Sunday and on Friday night there was a great Letter Writing Social at ARCH here in SF -- typewriters, rubber stamps, stationary....and wine! |
 |
| This proves I am trying....I actually cleared off my desk and put things away or in to the old wire tray...you can actually see the top of the desk now... |
 |
| ESTY STUFF for sale -- I am working on getting my stuff ready for the Etsy shop... I have boxes of (no longer available) onion skin typing paper and vintage lettering guides and all kinds of fun stuff for mail artists..vintage flash cards, old cards and stationery, handmade envelopes, zines... |
 |
| More Etsy....packing up those vintage eraser sets...these were very popular at the Co-Op birthday party... |
 |
| More vintage for sale... |
 |
| Sorting through some of the old French postcards I will sell - if I can manage to part with them.. |
 |
| Old books that I tear up for collage and envelope-making |
 |
| I may have gotten a bit carried away - I signed up for the Index Card a Day challenge as well as the new Elevated Envelope Swap .... |
 |
| A wonderful drive down the beautiful California coast yesterday. Great views an a stop at a really good yard sale. Picked up that old Postage Stamp Album and the Royal Quiet deLuxe typewriter manual since I have a Royal..I am going to tear apart the Postage Stamp book and fix the broken binding and re-make it into some sort of artist/altered book. Don't be too jealous -- almost no stamps inside! |
 |
| Saw this mailbox -- stop the car!!!!!!! Hard to clean up when there are so many mail art events to go to, field trips to take, lunches to eat, mail art to make and of course, cappuccino to drink. |
