From Other Planets

Envelope and postcard sent by Eric (France), about two of his favourite sci-fi movies: Forbidden planet and The Man from Planet X.

That reminds me that I also sent an envelope (made of a page of a magazine) to Phillip (the USA) that shows creatures... from another planet?

What or Whom Is She Staring At?

Heleen (the Netherlands) drew this postcard inspired by a visit to the Rijksmuseum. She made some copies and sent them to several mail artists, as an add & return, because she was curious to know what other people would think she is thinking of.

This was my version:

Is that a bird? How strange! Oh, I need my glasses.

Blue Dreams Of A Child

Sent to Eve (the USA).

Collage made of press cuttings, a reused magazine for children, labels of cheese, stickers, a reused shop bag, washi tape and a T-shirt label. Yes: I like to list what I used for the collages when I finish. It is a way to realise that everything can be (re)used! Finding materials is a funny part of the process.

This collage was made for the Mail a Smile 6th challenge (in July). The theme was Your favourite childhood book. I chose the Smurfs (of course!). But I put a lot of people on the collage, so I also sent a postcard to Eve, just to clarify which was my childhood secret dream (well, not so secret now...):

By the way, the Mail a Smile theme for this month is The 80ies. You have until 31st September to participate!
