This is the next step in my Mail Art envelope pieces as Mail Art containers.
Sending it without using a sticky label worked fine. Unless there is a reason for it i dont think i'll have to use the labels. cool on that.
There are no postage stamps on this one because it was going out of the country. The stamps when applied were great.
It would be fun to see how one of these arrive. What additions are added along the journey. My philosophy is that what ever happens in the post becomes part of the piece. ...not that i want a lot to happen, but i have to be able to let go of that stuff some how, understanding it as part of the process helps in that acceptance of what happens.

This is the next Skinny Alphabet Book page - the letter R with dimensions. this was a challenge for me because of the way i've chosen to create my Skinny Book with Digital Technology.
I've simulated the Grommets and attaching the Rubbing altho in the final form i could do this and that would create the dimensional part of the process. At this point the piece is an adaptation of the Challenge (to use dimension in the work) in that respect.
The Raku Cylinder Cup is one i did a number of years ago while in upstate NY altho i photographed it on the day i created this Skinny Book page (a day or two ago). I like it. it works well for my R word in the Skinny Book - imo.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like how I feel about our collaberative fiction....I create a character and a scenario, but anyone can add to it, often in unexpected ways....it's very interesting observing my reactions sometimes...
oh, yes! exactly casadelospajaros - collaborations are always a surprise. it's part of "every being is unique" that we all see things in different ways. working on the same piece, the work turns our in a way that no one person would have created it.
ReplyDeleteso far, i'm willing to let the post be part of the work i send as postcards - it adds a patina that is almost always unexpected.
