Celebrate the Rain

My holiday-themed card/mail art is usually unconventional, and this year is no exception.   But what better thing to celebrate in California than with a good wet winter.  So far, we are well on track.  I spent a rainy weekend indoors carving rubber stamps and printing these handmade postcards.   Happy Holidays!

2020 un-holiday card

 Let’s get it together so we can get back together in 2021. 

December Mail

My holiday cards have all been sent on their way and it’s time to show off some of the mail art that I have been receiving.  Among the Christmas cards and other goodies here are some of the latest arrivals:

1. R.F. Côté postcard features what I assume is some wintery Canadian yoga?
2. Dori Singh sent a hand-stitched holiday card.
3. Autumnal greetings arrived from Katerina Nikoltsou in Greece.
4. Margarete Miller repurposed a Pantone postcard.
5. Polaroid-themed mail art from Melissa Wand.
6. Hungarian bicycle dudes from Torma Cauli.
7. Jane Gravois sent a collaged holiday greeting.
8. Fleur Helsingor’s latest piece references the recycled art at the Albany Bulb.
9. Robin Sparrow sent an amazing, hand-made, pop-up book/Christmas card.  I think it is safe to say she wins the holiday card prize for 2017.
10. And finally, another groovy envelope piece from Marina Salmaso.

Selections from the Christmas Mailbag

Along with all the photo cards with adorable kids, I also had some nice, hand made, Christmas mail art waiting for me when I returned to San Francisco.  Including pieces by:

1. Jane Gravois
2. Fleur Helsingor
3. Dori Singh
4. Jennifer Utter

Happy Holidays 2012!

There is a reason you save all those old Christmas cards and the stamps off the envelopes.  Below is one of the pieces for the 2011 Project made with old Christmas cards from when I was very little.  And this year’s card (shown above) includes stamps that I have been saving for years.
