And then yesterday I got my first Mail Art in the form of a post card from Leslie! Testing out my new PO Box and making it pretty!
I hadn't played with the gelli plate for a while and it was calling to me so I made some starter background pages this morning which I will turn into post cards (or maybe ATCs, although I prefer to do a whole page then cut it specifically for those). I will do some more with these before I cut them into card sizes to wait to send out. I love the gelli plate... so simple: paper and paint and the result is always fun! (If not, just do another print over and eventually you have an unexplainable thing of beauty!).
Here's a close-up of one I particularly liked:
And here are my very high=tech techniques for some of the patterns...
For the bubble lines:
And for the overlapping circles, I just used this contraption several times on the gelli plate before I printed...
Here is how you make it:
Told you it was high-tech!
So now to just join more swaps and find some new Mail Art buddies and I am good to go!
If you would like to trade mail art (post cards or ATCs) please contact me using the contact form in the tabs above if you want to set up a specific swap. For just random Mail Art postcards, feel free to send me a post card and I will send you one in return. Don't forget your return address! My addy for mail art is:
