Outgoing: First Collage in 2014

My first collage of 2014! It is small-scale (about 5" x 6.5") but it took me about 4 evenings at the desk to complete. I always know a collage is going to be good when it takes me forever to get it just right. When I layout the pieces, rearrange, step away, come back the next day, move more around, commit to glue, scan, send!

I created this piece especially for Art via Post's mail art call. If it wasn't customized just for Art via Post, I might've actually held on to this one. :) But, it is in the letting go that we make room for more.

Outgoing: Postal-themed ATCs

In response to a blog post at Drawing Near, I made these postal-themed ATCs. 

Thanks to Pamela at CappuccinoandArtJournal for the heads up on this swap. It's right up my alley!

It's been a while since I've played over at AFA ( http://www.atcsforall.com ) and it was nice to make some new ATCs. 

One of the last swaps I hosted at AFA was an Airmail-themed ATC swap. Loved it!!

Here are some previous postal-related ATCs I've made:

Too many?? I do love playing with postage stamps and airmail labels. :)
