3D address 3 - Smash

Smash gave me permission to post this - I had run out of the blue/red kaleidoscope stamps, so tried a different color combination for her envelope. I think the colors matched a bit better in reality than they do on this scan - Smash may have to confirm or refute.

Finnbadger envelope on local French TV station...

Unreal.

Tony M's blog post today has a link to a TV segment about him and his Mail Art/Faux Stamps and my 3D envelope shows up in the clip!

Link to TV video (all in French). The link takes you to the start of the segment about him. 

Here's a screen capture.



Astonishing.

3D address 2 - air mail art

Tony M has a great mail art blog.

Currently he is running the 4th World Day of Faux Stamp Artists celebration. This is being run in conjunction with La Poste, the French post office, so that they will actually allow mail to be sent to Tony with a fake stamp. I cannot imagine that happening with the USPS.


This time I used google translator to get a better idea of what I should be doing :)

I liked the 3D effect on the envelope I sent to Jean W, so thought one for Tony would be good. I accompanied it with a faux stamp. The only letter I'm not super happy with is the V, but not sure if there is a better solution.

And playing around Warhol-style... (I sent these to Tony)...

Update:

It arrived! This one did get cancelled, and also managed to gain an 'FD' stamp, which, as far as I can gather means 'false direction', meaning it probably went astray in the system for a day or two.

This is 'not one of the envelopes', although it is homemade. And by homemade I mean I printed it on a piece of paper then folded the paper into an envelope. As Jean W pointed out here, I did not pay attention to the aspect ratio, but the post office machine sorted it anyway at the standard rate.

Here it is prior to mailing:
