SerendipityArt

I had a great time with alcohol ink today. I made 15 post cards and will spend the evening in front of the TV making the mailers for them. The brown paper mailers are made of heavy paper bags from Trader Joe’s Market. They need to be pretty thick because the edges of the cards are very, very sharp!  You can see my favorite five cards in the My Designs section of this blog.

I also pulled together some of my weird little mail art baggies. What are they? They are baggies of mail art that I’ve received over the past several months. I add some art calls that I find interesting, a copy of my latest issue of Seren, my zine, and a postcrossing card or two. As you all know, my apartment in California is so small that there’s no way I can keep the art I receive. I put it up on my magnetic boards for a couple of months, and then I have to send it out.

I will be up until midnight addressing the bundles…but I’m excited because these include the last of Seren One…so when I get back to Cali after Thanksgiving I will be done with Seren Two and ready to send out the next Swap Shop List. If you’d like to join the swap list, just send me some mail art and I’ll add you. I’m already up to 81 people…but the more the merrier! I will do that mailing no later than December 1.

Also, I have 8 people that want to do the journal swap project. If there are others that are interested, please send your name, address, phone number and email to Serendipityartist@yahoo.com. If you want to participate, your journal must have work in it…and you must include a self-addressed, stamped post card for each person on your list. The post card is so people can send you a note on the day that they mail your book to the next person on the list.
