Running a little bit behind with my mail art posts... Here's a wonderful reply I received from Jeannine of Saylor Made a little while ago. She always puts together such thoughtful packages. I especially loved the two handmade mini envelopes - isn't the origami paper just gorgeous? The camera watercolour is fantastic too; I love the juxtaposition of man made and organic, of precise and random.
(ps. Notice the Korean masking tape on the envelope in the photo above? That's because it was opened! I wander what Mr Postman and/or Mrs Customs Official thought of it all?)

In other news - I'm planning some time to work on this months 'Collecting Colour' collection tomorrow. The theme is white which I'm finding a little intimidating! I've got a few ideas as to how to tackle it, so we'll see how it all goes. Will you be playing along this month?
I was just wondering if this letter had ever made it to you. I let out an audible *phew* when I spotted your post. Happy to hear you enjoyed my package! I'm not sure why it would have been opened and inspected but it is a delightful thought that a postie along the way was overcome with curiosity.
ReplyDeleteI feel guilty for not keeping up on your collecting colour. I have been adding some new and necessary elements to my day which include exercise, gardening, cooking and learning exercises for the kids. Art and fun projects have been pushed aside. I have been enjoying your posts and the contributor's collections. It's a great idea!
Sorry for my slackness in letting you know! I really loved the package, thanks again.
DeleteLike you I've been changing my routine around a bit, keeping up an exercise routine (and adding some pilates classes to the mix!), catching up on everything we missed while dealing with pneumonia and just generally trying to contribute a bit more to 'real' life - as a result my craft and blogging time has suffered, so I completely understand! I hope you fin the balance that's right for you :)
That is hilarious that it was opened! One of these months I'm going to try to join in with this collecting colour series of yours. Enjoy your weekend. Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteoh, I hope you do join in one month! I have a sneaking suspicion you'd come up with something ridiculously beautiful, your photos are always so lovely!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous gift! I adore the colourful prints.
ReplyDeleteI will be playing along but white intimidates me too!
I have played and am happy with the results - hurrah! Look forward to seeing what you find...
DeleteMust be exciting when you check your mail box, oh I want to play along this time Emily I will do my best to remember I am so hopless!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm always looking for new penpals to avoid those days when it's just bills!
