Catch Up!

Well, it's been a while since I posted my postcards again! I only have so many "energy tokens" per day because of this illness, and since I had two doctor's appointments this past week, and have been working on an art project, I just didn't have any tokens left to spend on other things. Oh well, it gives us a lot to look at today!

This was not a postcard, but a tiny little greeting card sent to me from Holland. The actual size was about 2" by 3".

This photo postcard is by a Mail Artist living in California, entitled Wig Wam. Just recently, I was accepted into IUOMA (International Union of Mail Artists). It's an organization created in 1988 for artists who send art created on mailing materials, such as envelopes and postcrds. Membership is 2248 artists worldwide and you have to be vetted to be accepted for membership. I'm excited about being a member! If you look closely at this piece, he has created a woven image out of small photos. It's quite lovely!
