I've Got Mail!

[hatman]

So, as mentioned, I got a postcard in the mail yesterday. :)

Not just any postcard (although getting actual mail from friends is always very cool), but a handmade original artwork by the lovely, charming, creative, and talented Miss Crustacean (aka alliegee), who, despite the title, does not seem to be very crabby at all.

Take a look. Isn't it nifty?



Those lines are staples, which hold in an actual printed picture (remember those?). The rest is hand-painted watercolors, rubber stamping, and glued-on collage (which really makes it a mixed medium piece). The whole thing has a cool texture to it, too. It's thick, quality, textured card paper. (You can see it better in the full-size image.)

It's really neat. And the message on the other side is written (mostly) on a half-postcard-sized sticker. Hadn't noticed that at first, but it's cool.

Yay for creative mail, and the lost art of postcards!

lol, good point

And yeah, I did. But perhaps... Hmm, if I send something now, it won't arrive in time. Probably won't even ship until The Day. How about you update your wishlist after opening presents, and I'll take another look at it?

Well, to paraphrase a friend of mine, I'm more likely to do something with it if you update the list than if you don't. No guarantees, but we'll see what comes up...
