Confirmed Receipt: Visions of Bosch

After the original collage failed to make it's way to ColoriMii, I sent a second attempt copy. It finally made it's way! Who knows where the original ended up. I haven't had very good delivery luck when I send collages in clear envelopes.

This collage was so detailed with a ton of tiny pieces, I was worried about sending it naked, so I covered it with a clear envie, plenty of postage and a personal note. Never found it's way.

At least there was time for me to get a copy in to still participate in this project.

Thanks, ColoriMii!

Outgoing: Bosch in the mail

Visions of Bosch entry finally on its way...

Outgoing: Bosch Mail Art Call

I previously posted about working on the collage for my entry to the Bosch mail art call and how it was creeping me out. Well, I finally finished it and it will be mailed out this weekend. I'm happy with how it turned out and happy to be sending it far, far away...

Bosch is creeping me out

Reading Heebee's post today re: the Museums of Instant Image's Bosch mail art call reminded me that I have a pic to share of my collage in process for this particular call. I stopped messing with the collage for a little while. It now has a lot more detail than what is shown below. But, I found I had to take a break from working on it. My collages are creative vision work boards for me. Usually what I focus the collage on comes to fruition. And this collage was just plain freaking me out.

I like how it's evolving, and I think it matches Bosch's vision(s), but I needed to step away from it before continuing...
