Mail Art #1

[My first piece of mail art, with a brown paper package tied up with string]

[I used a combination of washi paper and Japanese packaging tape.]


[The whale card was the inspiration behind the packaging.]

As promised for 2011, here is my first piece of mail art. It's really girly and kiddy (I mean, would you expect anything else from me?) but I want my pieces to be more diverse in the future.

This is going to a friend who treated us to a fantastically delicious meal at the Tsukiji Fish Market during our honeymoon. I was too lazy to fill out delivery confirmation, but I did check postage, so I hope it gets there safely!

Hold me to it, February is going to be more punk rock, y'know, as punk rock as I can be.
...But knowing me I'll probably paste pink flowers on top of it in the end.

Mo, this is absolutely adorable! You did such a good job -- whoever the recipient of that package is will flip when they see it. I wouldn't even know how to open something so fantastic.

That's so adorable Mo! Happy New Year, sweetie. I just love how things are looking over here :)

Wow, so pretty! I always worry that adding too much might confuse the mailmen/women but I think it's about time I scrap that concern and start sending out some much prettier letters and packages. Thank you for the encouragement and for sharing!
