A little mail from NJ

Hello lovely people of the Interwebs!

So I mentioned taking some art classes with the wonderful Orly Avineri at Create, NJ.  I wanted to share what I made in her last class "Postcards From the Edge."  This was my first foray into mail art, and I had SO much fun I cannot tell you!

I'm hoping one day to send them to someone...but I kind of just want to look at them for a while.  One of the lessons Orly teaches in her classes is the importance of being able to release your art out into the world once it's done--that it is the process of creating that you keep, rather than the end product.  I am still working on getting better at that.
This one is by far my favorite.

If you're like me and you can't find a white space to take object photos, you can always use the back of an old nature study you have lying around from unpacking.  Heh.

I am lucky to have friends who lived nearby, so I stayed with them instead of at the hotel.  (Thanks, T!) Their cat liked to spend time like this.  I couldn't resist sharing.

Not to be outdone, here's Gilly!  Have a great weekend!


TTFN,

Frau S.
