Envelope sent to Laura (the UK), made of a poster of a poetry reading I attended. The woman on the envelope is Spanish poetess Gloria Fuertes (1917-1998), born this day 100 years ago.

Repurposing Another Calendar

I have enjoyed another calendar during 2016, with beautiful illustrations of the tea and coffee world (Have you noticed the golden letters). Actually, I have enjoyed it twice: while hanging on my desk room wall, and then, making postcards of it. These are the tea pages:

Some Envelopes Made of Posters

Sent to Catherine (France), Laura (the UK) and Heleen (the Netherlands). The last one, also published here.

From the Black & White (& Some Green) Collection

Black and white handmade envelope and old postcard (purchased in 1997!), sent to Phillip (the USA). The envelope was made of a poster. He posted here about this sending.

And here about the following one:

Longing for the Sea

Envelope made of a poster announcing an art exhibition, sent to Ania (Poland). I added a postcard with a picture taken from the same place. I like to think that maybe both picture were taken the same day...

Outgoing Red Letters

Letters sent to Ângela (Portugal). Both envelopes made of posters. Sorry that I took the second picture without the stamps.

Arabesques

Envelope sent to Phillip (the USA), made of a poster like this:

The colour looks quite different, probably because of different scanners/camera. It was greener to my eyes.

Also published here.

Black & White Riddle

Two envelopes sent to FinnBadger (the USA).

They were made of posters. The first one is from an exhibition about architecture. The second one is announcing a lecture about a writer. Can you name him?

Maybe is it easier if I show you the shaped postcard I put inside?

(The solution is here.)

Repurposing Paper for Envelopes

Some envelopes I made of pages of magazines and posters.

Sent to Alexander (Russia), César (Brazil), John (the UK) and Pedro (Spain).

Recycled Materials

Letter sent by Micu (Hungary).
