happy birthday louise

i saw a really pretty versal L with an overlapping script L and wanted to do my version. then i saw that louise is a mail artist and requested 55 decorated envelopes to observe her 55th birthday. so, i gave it a try. the gel pen did not want to work. then i had no stamps that went with the teal envelopes and i have a lot of them left over, so i need to find a teal stamp. but i do have a ton of the winter stamps left over. i also want to make a whole alphabet of versals layered with script.

anyone who wants to send an envelope to louise - here is her address. she posted on the IUOMA site and wrote that she was fine with people reposting her request.  click on [read more] to read her entire blog post

Hello my artistic friends,

Today, I take my electronic pen, to share a wish,that may come true with your collaboration.You can also pass on my request to your network if you feel it appropriate.

This year I will be 55 years of age, and to highlight this passage, I would like to receive at least 55 decorated envelopes in my own mail box, while I can still benefit from that privilege.

Much to my regret, Canada Post announced the end of home delivery within 3 years. Yes, that era will end soon! No more interactions with the mail man, always proud to deliver the unconventional mail, brightening up his day.

When all the envelopes will be received, I will assemble a souvenir album in order to preserve your artistic donations. In exchange of your creation I promise to send back one of my postal art piece.

Hopefully my wish will be granted by receiving your mail art.May you be inspired.Thanking you in advance.

Artisticallyyours,
Louise Héroux
