This week the theme at Collage Obsession Challenge is OPEN, so people can create whatever they want! So, it's show & tell time!
Here are 2 quick mail art envelopes I made:
Note: I try to keep samples for myself, so I remember what I've done!
Note: Address shown is a fancy P.O. box, not my home address.
I have S-L-O-W-L-Y been getting into the mail art scene. It's nice to exchange mail art with others. There's always an artful surprise waiting for you when you check your mailbox! If you are interested in exchanging mail with others around the world, a good group to join is IUOMA: International Union of Mail Artists. It's free, and once you sign up, you can meet people from all around the world and exchange mail with them. Your art can be as simple or complex as you like. Whatever floats your boat! To check out the site, just click: ***HERE***. (If you decide to join, just click the Sign Up button in the right column.)
My goal is to create at least one new envelope a week, but it doesn't always happen! LOL. I am working on a freelance project right now, and it is taking quite a bit of time. I hope to pick up the pace soon.

Fabulous mail art, Tiffany!!!
I haven't done any mail art for a long time, and your beautiful pieces make me want to take it up again. Both pieces are very clever. Well done, and thanks for sharing.

Great work. A few years back when I was a kid, I used to ride the P.E. red car to Long Beach and go swimming in the Plunge at Long Beach
Thers are great, I like the last one best.
Good for you for committing to do this. I love getting wonderful art in the mail. These are delightful!
Long time no see, Tiffany! But I'm still around, just a bit too busy and a lot too blocked. But I love both of your envelopes - so bright and joyful, wonderful retro style. And thanks for the mail art links - that's something I have to consider!
Thank you Eila and everyone else for taking time to comment. I really appreciate it!
