Wonder Woman!

The Wonder Woman stamps issued last year seemed perfect for this envelope I sent to Adrienne.

S is also for Series

This is the second S post after yesterday's Solar System. 

As promised, here is the follow up from letter N for naked mail art. Most of my mail art goes inside one of my homemade envelopes. And usually they are individual pieces. 

Although I rarely collage, I recently sent out a series of 6 collaged postcards with a vehicular theme.

To Adrienne, Thomas and William

To C. Mehrl Bennett, Keith and J.A.D. Media

Do you like to create collages? Would you make one from random stuff you find in your car/your purse/that messy drawer at home full of 'important' junk?

For bonus points, can you identify where all the pieces come from?

The day after the scariest day of the year...

...a Halloween card from Adrienne that didn't quite arrive in time for Halloween.

With some more of the wonderful Haunted Canada stamps.

Art book from Adrienne

Bonus Halloween part 4 - Night views for Sunday Stamps

I'm bending the rules for Sunday Stamps a little, but I don't think you get to see hauntings in daylight too often.

These two are from the Haunted Canada series. They look amazing in person as they have a reflective quality that is somewhere between metallic and holographic.

Adrienne made this envelope from a great page showing a variety of paper planes.

A moon for Adrienne

I sent envelope 351 at the same time as these envelopes, and forgot to blog it.

Today is the full moon known as the Hunter's Moon in North America.

Haunted stamps

Adrienne sent me a couple of the latest Haunted Canada stamps last year. They are fantastic in person, with their ghostly hologram lettering - the scanner picked it up as grey.

Sunday Stamps - a butterfly from Canada

Adrienne sent me one of her classic collages. I love her style, always perfectly done.

On the flip side, Adrienne loves to use interesting postage, often using vintage stamps. I hope to use the others she included in future Sunday Stamps, so they were axed for today's blog.  I love the bonus collage on this side.

This is the first time the definitive 22c butterfly has come through the letterbox. I love the series as a whole, they are so bright and attractive.

Full moon today - the flower moon

More moon phases sent out to LWA, PinkyPost, Rose and Heleen - where I took some liberties in addressing her as Mevrouw ('Mrs' in Dutch) and calling her country of Netherlands 'Holland'.

And more for Carroll, Jackie, William, Alan, Dorothea, and Adrienne.

Still more brown red and white envelopes

Number 633 to Eva

...numbers 653 and 654 to Kathie and Adrienne...

...numbers 649 and 650 to Nikki and Rose...

...and numbers 647 and 652 to Honi and Pamela. That's the last of them! 

An Adrienne collage

Great to see a collage from Adrienne appear in my mailbox.

Advent - sled dog mail run

Adrienne sent me one of the most amazing pieces of mail I've ever received - partly carried by dog sled, this envelope is from the 23rd annual Gold Rush Trail Sled Dog Mail Run.

Collage in blue

Adrienne sent this great collaged card back in June.

She always uses really interesting vintage stamps.

Zombies for lunch - Happy Halloween!

This is one of my favorites from the zombie calendar - bird on head for Jean!

One for Adrienne.

And a refresher on zombie features and anatomy.

Bonus postcards and a Rorschach inkblot or two

Malok joins the spontaneous mail club with an interesting mirrored image complete with asemics.

I received no fewer than five postcards on Monday 18 May!

From Steve...

...Nikki...

...Terrie...

...Nancy...

... and my first mail from John.

Stoa Time from MomKat (a collaboration with her son).

Large collage postcard from PetrolPetal.

Collages from Adrienne (top) and Nancy (bottom)

And more collage, this time from Jon F.

Gold and turquoise lizards from Kathie.

Here is an abstract postcard from Kathie.

She saw something in it after she had painted it.

I thought I saw something in it when I first saw it, and before I read what Kathie thought she saw.

It's like a Rorschach inkblot...

...so, if you like, leave a note as to what you see here, and in a week I'll reveal what Kathie saw, and what I saw.

Bonus - here's an asemic card from Thomas - I think I see something there, so I'll be back in a week to reveal my vision. Feel free to play along.
