The Envelope is the art!

Naughtily I am blogging two of James' pieces together. I got back from Maine and although I got few pieces of mail while away, I hadn't blogged what `i'd received before yet.  The first is a sensational  almost anamorphic  ink drawing.  I love the variety of handwriting, the restrained colour, the stamps and the sentiment.  James has brought together everything you need in a piece of mailart. 

The second ppostcard is more 'au courant', topical and chosen specifically for ME, one of James' New Yorker friends.

BIG THANKS and check out the facebook group!

A Wish of Good Health in a Fragile time

Stamps for arts sake are one of those things I particularly like. Stamps that are abstract shapes but also say stamp. a long time ago I made some for Vizma and she copied them and put them on outgoing mail  I was delighted! Mikel's stamps could be  necklace. They are graphic objects, demanding attention.

The other pieces in this beautiful mailing are Mikel's ubiquitos mix of stamping and collage, appreciated, as ever. I relate to these colours. Thank you!
