Big mail day part 3

Here's the rest of the big mail day.

More amazing Starling Wars from stripygoose, including a cool book mark, which has some pretty, subtle stars on the back.







A fantastic double-sided collage from Flo.



A valentine from Brooke.



And a stunning envelope from Patrick of Edelweiss post. His note inside included vintage Mr Zip selvage and some neat rubber stamps.

MMSA stencil cards received

This was a really interesting challenge, with varied interpretations.

The first one is from Veebee. She wrote that this didn't turn out as 'stencilled' as she wanted, but I think it is fascinating. An interesting background, and there are lots of small details that aren't apparent at first glance (and are hard to appreciate from a scan), like the cut out O in dolls that is filled with glitter.



A more traditional style from  Mary (top) that has stencils applied to shimmery paper, also hard to appreciate in a scan. And a simple, very attractive single stencil from Ellen onto collaged words, Shakespeare, I think, below.


This fantastic peacock from Ellen is another one that needs to be appreciated in person because of the raised texture. For some reason it took 4 days longer to arrive than the others. This card arrived on a particularly good mail day; the rest will be shown over the next couple of days.

See-through mailarteeth

Another one off to Christophe. This time sent in a clear 'envelope'. I'll be interested to see if this one makes it OK, it was a bit floppy.

Wild about Harper

Hester sent me another wallpaper envelope with beautiful stamps, and a warning to open carefully...



 And here's why - check out the cool liner she made.


Even more careful opening reveals the whole liner.


Thank you!

Who is Eduardo Munez part 4

OK, Ruth commented that filming doesn't start until March 21st, so step away from the computer *right now* and send an envelope (plus letter if you like) to the man in question and it will arrive in time to be in the film.

I sent him envelope number 575.
