All of the little lovelies warranted a closer inspection, as each holds a daydream inside of it and each very nicely reproduced in this delicate format. This is Picture #59 on the sheet. Trail gate, Mamean ("The Pass of the Birds"), Maumturk Mountains, Connemerra, County Galway, Ireland
This unusually interesting sign hangs over a storefront entrance in Riga, Latvia. The reverse side of the postcard is picture # 4 on the sheet. You can read the legend of what each photo actually is here: Cascadia Artpost.
After the postcard, this arrived a few days later. The entire Artistamp sheet of "66 Memories". Exquisitely created with beautiful detail and typography for official appearing enhancement.
I noted this small feature on the right margin. At least one of these sheets went to the "Ray of Light" Mail Art Project by Edition Janus in Berlin this year.
I love the way Cascadia Artpost adds this bit of an expediting sticker and cool rubber stamping to hurry the large envelope to it's 4th Dimension destination.
What a great double treat from one of the current elite wizards of the Mail Art realm. Spectacular work Jack, thank you very much. Sixty-six Memories that sure look like great ones! See you in the post! Cascadia Artpost.
Love those stamps. I must figure out how to make stamps!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel - As stamp maker extraodinaire Jas Felter once mentioned to me: "Stamps are a little more esoteric than postcards". In my humble opinion, stamp making is a notch or two higher up in the skill department than postcard creation. I think most artistamp wizards would readily agree.
