| The Vintage Paper Fair came to San Francisco again this weekend -- kind of like a museum with things you can touch (and buy). Really heaven if you like paper ephemera. And, I do! |
 |
| Actually, this looks a little bit like my studio.... fun to sift through all the postcard folders. SF is having crazy mild weather at the moment - almost 70'. |
 |
| Passports for sale -- ok, I couldn't resist one of these..... |
 |
| The one I picked has tons of stamps inside from all over the world...if I can bring myself to tear it up, the pages will be great for a collage. The woman who held the passport sure did a lot of traveling. Reminds me a little of the Correspondence Co-Op passport... Any other ideas about what to do with it? |
 |
| WHY do I never, ever see boxes of old letters or envelopes at thrift shops or garage sales? |
 |
| 25 Cents for these stamped, first day of issue envelopes -- the stamps are still good so these babies are going into the post box to some of you (with additional postage, of course). |
 |
| A little bit of shopping for some rubber stamps.... |
 |
| A bit scary, isn't it? My work table today....fully loaded. I just seem to work better with a lot of stuff...I mean...inspiration around me. |
 |
| Collaged Postcards I was inspired and worked on a series of collaged postcards for a Chinese New Year Mailing. I wonder when the USPS will put out the Lunar New Year stamps. Love the red and gold combination. After the gel dries I have to press these overnight to flatten. |
 |
| Outing A couple more collaged cards that went out to Stanislav in Russia and to Kirsten & Sally. Playing catch-up after a super-busy December. January is a bit busier than expected but I am able to spend more time in my studio. Next Vintage Paper Fair in SF is in April -- anyone coming to visit? Send mail, everyone! And have fun doing it..... |
