First Page of Snail Mail Project
I was not sure how to approach this Snail Mail project, so I began by finding a 8”x8” card-stock and adding to it found objects.
First, I tore to shreds an old card, and I glued the pieces around the border of the card-stock. Next, I located a nifty paper punch that cuts out bird shapes. I found some decorative paper then punched out a flock of birds to place on the blue page. I decided to add a little wooden stick , and embroidery thread to the little red lantern on the top left corner of the page. Then sprinkled itty bitty greenish-blue marbles to the page and finished it off with red paint and high gloss varnish. This was to be the first page.
On the second page, I added a little business card and repeated the bird and lantern motif. From a magazine I cut letters to create a word phrase.
And on the back of each page is a little hand written letter for readers to enjoy.
First Page of Snail Mail Project belongs to the following groups:

Hey izzybeth. . . this type of work fascinates me. There’s an intimacy to it that strikes a strong connection to my inner landscape. Maybe it’s because I am aware of the soul involved in the process and I find that appealing. Congrats on chasing down this idea. Congrats!

Ah… thank you so very much, my paintedsoul friend.

thank you.
Marcia Luly
A beautiful creation…you have used some very nice Japanese paper here!
izzybeth replied
Lulybelle,
Thank you for taking time to comment on my work. I did enjoy finding the paper. Even as a child, I enjoyed searching for the perfect fabric with my mother in the fabric stores. And there is an easy transfer from fabric to paper in my love for patterns and texture.
Thank you again.

Wow, you are really creative! I just discovered your group. I am a postal worker and have been for over 20 years now. Snail mail has declined significantly in the last few years, and we are constantly reminded of it by our supervisors and management. Only my parents, who are in their 80s still handwrite letters and pay their bills the snail mail way. Hope to get over here more often. I have not learned the art of the digital camera, but I have 20-years of stories to tell.
izzybeth
Hello my new friend. thank you for popping into my bubble. I must practice my penmanship so I can write a decent pen… please tell you stories…

Thank you my friend. obwohl ich keinen Tropfen deutschen Blutes in mir, ich sicherlich ein Kichern, um herauszufinden, wie Sie sagen, dass meine vom Englischen ins Deutsche und zurück auf die schriftliche Deutsche zu übersetzen haben. Und ich frage mich, wie viel wirklich in der Übersetzung verloren gehen.
