Roosters, Day 2

Friday I received Berti's and my Roosters. Somehow, a typo worked it's way into the mailing list, a few people caught it. There was another one that I didn't catch, sorry Fred!



Berti's rooster is a eraser carving, hand-colored and dropped into a background in Photoshop. Nice!!



And mine.



I carved this stamp from an internet coloring project on Web Holidays



My stamps are from a photograph I made at sunrise with a metal rooster sculpture in my front window.

Year of the Rooster

Here's the first arrival! Terri sent hers out on the 8th! Spectacular stamp!!






The insert was glued to the inside of the hand/computer-made envelope.

Recently Carved Stamps

This is from the patch on Mr McFeely's jacket from the Mister Rogers show for the catalogs. One of these days, I'll finish the catalogs and get them mailed out.



I finished this one last night for AML Year of the Rooster swap that's going out the 9th.



This is a little scrap doodle of my Nikon Coolpix 4300.



and a couple other scrap doodles.

Beltane

Ok, how can I not post the Beltane stamp?

Yule

This was my Yule stamp in 2003. It starts a Wicca in America series including the holidays of the pagan wheel of the year. I have Yule and Beltane so far.

Beverly Trump Dittberner sent this greeting on New Year's Eve.

Outward Bound and More Letterpress from Adanaland

I sent this to Ruud Janssen on January 7 this year.






This was the second Adanaland mailing I received from Alan Brignull in 2003.





The gorgeous card Alan printed from blocks he found at a sale.

Air Mail Carving

I got the itch this week and carved an airmailart stamp. That's my favorite plane, the Lockheed Super Constellation. We have one here at the Downtown Airport that flies around the country doing air shows kept up by a bunch of retired TWA mechanics, flight attendants and crewmembers.

Recent Receipts

Hi all in the Mail Art Realms! Back from the land of Computer Issues for a brief visit and check-in. I've gotten some lovely works in the last few weeks and here are a couple of them: From Princess Esme of Albanlea and Pandora Post is this Angel artistamp for the holidays.





And from Alan Brignull of Adanaland is this lovely letterpress card with a map segment and Stevenson quote! Nicely done and received! Thank you!
