I’ve been enjoying making patterns to make my own writing paper. So here are some assorted letters written on those, as well as using my lovely bought paper and sending some mail art and postcards. I am happy that they are all winging their way around the globe to bring a smile on peoples faces.
It’s that time again and I’m loving it. I do enjoy the Ihanna swaps. This time I have based my art on a scripture from Micah, “Act Justly, love mercy, walk humbly”, anyone can use this as a guide to follow in life. It can act as an inspiration to anyone regardless of faith, so I thought I would share it through my art. A total of 10 postcards being sent out with lots of love 🙂
This spring, the Elevated Envelope Challenge started up again and I was eager to sign up and take part.
These are the beautiful envelopes I received, created on the topic of ‘Equinox’. I received art from USA, Israel and Ireland, I had a special treat of an extra one from a pen pal in USA.
This is the design I sent, an abstraction of the theme.
I can’t wait for the next one! 🙂
It’s International Correspondence Letter Writing Month again. Although I write letters all year round and may not take up the challenge of writing a letter every day. It’s an opportunity to meet new people through mail and possible top up on regular pen pals. So I’m including old and new in my letter writing this month.
Sherry in USA and Sarah, UK.
Natalie in the UK and Chantelle in Ireland.
Only four so far but they are filled will love and best wishes for the recipients!
Sending out a mixed bunch of happy mail on the penultimate day of 2021.
Postcrossing cards across the globe to USA, Germany, Austria and Russia. I am looking forward to more postcrossings in 2022 as I have been postcrossing for a full ten Years 🙂
These are my last letters of 2021 to Daniela in Italy and for Susanne in Germany and also a mail art postcard to Jim in the UK.
May all the recipients be filled with joy!
I received a total of nine (out of ten) of my Ihanna swap this Autumn. seeing as they come from all over the world, that is very good.
I got some super cards this time, all as is required in the swap rules, were hand decorated.
The black and silver one from Stephanie and the sunshine from Mackenzie both from the USA.
The skull from Sandy and the fish from Lenna both from the USA.
The doggy from Becka and the jelly fish from Eileen both from the USA
The one with autumnal colours from Sarah in Hungry and Endless possibilities from Aimie in the USA
Lastly, this one with lots of fun stickers, a joint effort by Yvonne and Leanna from the USA
I always love the diversity which comes with this swap. Can’t wait until spring! 🙂
What a lovely opportunity to make mailart, the lovely Ihanna postcard swap. I always love doing this, creating postcards especially to send to someone across the globe who at the same time is also sending out there own ten handmade postcards.
Below are my postcards ready to be sent out, I am very happy with them this year. I am sending to Austria, Australia, USA, Canada and the UK 🙂
Wow, time flies! I have been working hard to catch up on my mail after not being well and have been completely forgetting to update my blog. I’ve been sending letters and postcrossing cards to USA, UK, Netherlands, Slovakia, Belgium, Germany and Japan to name but a few. It has been great getting back in touch with everyone. I’ve made my own writing paper and also invested in some too.
I do like occasionally to use traditional airmail envelopes.
Below is a mail art postcard to a new mail artist, envelopes designed from art doodling and also some pearly paper.
Here’s an envelope made with a downloaded image and some of my new stationary I bought.
All of these were sent with lot’s of love 🙂
As always, I enjoyed being part of the Ihanna postcard swap this spring. Sending out my 10 postcards to bring some joy to the 10 different people taking part. As always the cards I made were very colourful. Once posted, I awaited my 10 postcards in return.
I received 8 of my 10 which is splendid as they usually come from across the globe!
They are always so diverse and amazing to land in your mail box. Thank you Ihanna for regularly organising this fun event.
I was not very happy when the postage prices went up a considerable amount, but, as it works out the new postage for me to send a postcard abroad amounts to two UK first class stamps. That is a great thing in it’s self as it allows for more choice and the opportunity to buy great stamps for the recipients. These are the ones I’ve just bought.
