Beginnings of September, I sent a card to Saartje Stiers, for her project "Saartje Stiers meets Marie Antoinette" (http://saartjestiersmeetsmarie-antoinette.blogspot.be/). It was great fun: for the first time, I cut in the encyclopeadia I found in the street some days before!
Today, I received a sending from Saartje. The card in it represents a pen-drawn leaf made up of flowers and more abstract forms. THE stamp on the envelope is, as far as I remember, the FIRST MAIL-ART STAMP on an envelope I recieve! And wonderful as can be mail-art sendings: there is no other "valid" Belgian stamp (Saartje lives in Belgium)! Clear that I am going to make also MAIL-ART STAMPs: this is TOO MUCH FUN! (no, not "too -" at all!)
...Today —two days later— I discover that the stamp used by Saartje is an "official" Belgian stamp. It comes from the series "The Art of Graffiti", edited in 2011... Nevertheless, I continue to want to make my own stamps —but... I want SO MUCH...
Saartje also joins a call from Miche-Art-Universalis: "Send a postcard tourist with stamp special from your town" - no deadline. Send to: Miche-Art-Universalis - Steenweg op Beerse, 9 - 2330 Merksplas - Belgium
