Mail Art for July






I can post the pictures of the mail art that I made for July now that I know that Nini received it.

I had a lot of fun making this. I used an old cigar box and covered it with gesso. Then I tried to pick out colors that I usually don't use - just to get me to (excuse the pun) think outside of the box! The box got me to thinking about a door. Then the door got me to thinking about the Joseph Campbell quote about following your own bliss.... and the rest just flowed from there!

I am so glad that Nini enjoyed the box. I really loved creating it for her!
