Earlier this month I got a most exciting handmade batty envelope from a blog reader in the Netherlands. I don't know where she found this paper, or if she made it, but the bats are realistic and amazing!
I liked the contrast of the rainbows on the return address sticker.
There was a letter written on the back of this fantastic collage, which was layered and handmade and gorgeous, and must have taken her a lot of time to make it. I love the way the bat is flying into the round moon...
I was just blown away by this batty creation.
wow talk about mail art . that is some awesome mail art wish I could do as well . totally awesome !!!
ReplyDeleteBats are the strangest creatures. I have a postcard here with a lesser and a greater horseshoe bat, amongst other animals, on it; I will save it for you, missive maven.
ReplyDeleteOn that lovely mail art, is that leaf on the back at the top right what I think it is? Maybe its from Amsterdam? ;-)
Also, I wanted to mention that ephemera assemblyman has an interesting post that shows some 'avant garde letter heads', which you might like.
Hey Shute - though the mail art is from the Netherlands, I do not believe that is a marijuana leaf. Doesn't hemp have 5 leaves? I could be wrong, but that was my thought. * Saw those avant garde letterheads... interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the leaves no matter what kind they are. Very colorful.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that is a lovely red marijuana leaf, and very pretty indeed. Love the batty theme, too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, okay, I just did some googling. PostMuse and Shute are right. It's a marijuana leaf.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm kind of blushing, I hadn't realized...
I know my leaves ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the bats and the colors on the envelope. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteViewing all of the variety of creative handmade cards got me going to create one and mailing it . Or maybe keeping it? lol! :)
I guess I will have to create a second one then.
Happy mail writings.
Cheers!
