i walked out to my mailbox yesterday and i noticed it was smiling.....and when i opened it, i understood why, because this wonderful mail art from ludid over at turn up the sound was waiting for me!! the envelope is gorgeous, and ludid created it by repurposing the baby wipes that she uses while she's working on her gorgeous journal pages.....she glued the dried wipes to card stock, stitched the mailing labels on, and then stitched up the sides. the end result is a beautiful rainbow envelope that feels soft like fabric, but is sturdy enough to go through the mail! (she also mentioned that the postage stamp wouldn't stick to the wipes, so she had to place a sticky back label to it first, and then place the postage on top!)
but the smile doesn't stop there.....tucked inside this mail art-elope was a gorgeous, colorful fabric scrap from an indian tribe of the peruvian jungle with a sweet little pin attached, a custom note that was made using the same painted baby wipes, and my very own print of "eugene finds creativity" (is he absolutely darling, or what?!!)!!!
ludid, you are such a sweetheart!! thank you for sharing your artwork, your creativity, and your heart with me!!! my mailbox is smiling......and so am i (and my smile is MUCH bigger!!)!
you can visit ludid here.....she creates absolutely gorgeous handmade journals, and even more spectacular journal pages to go inside!!! and.....it's your lucky day.....she's having a give-away!!!
