A great take on the challenge. I love the background with its references to sewing and all the sewing essentials you have included in your collage. Nice work.
A wonderful take on this week's theme, Bella, and yes, the background complements the sewing machine so well.
Bella, you asked about MAIL ART and what it is. Well, it can be anything you like but quite often artists will create decorated envelopes or postcards complete with stamps and postmarks or design a postage stamp or create a collage containing anything to do with mail and postage. And, of course, you can make your art as an actual envelope or postcard, or make it digital, or even make it from fabric.
If you type mail art into Google you will soon see plenty of examples or you can email me and I will be happy to help.
Ann has pretty much answered your question, Shanna. A scroll back through the archives of Three Muses will reveal another time when mail art was our theme and you'll see lots of examples there. Nick Bantock is a noated mail art artist, and a Google search for Nick Bantock Mail Art will bring up lots of examples as well. Have fun!
