The mailartprojects blog has all kinds of opportunities to participate in mail art exhibits.
Here are details on the Finland exhibit. I'm 1/4 Finnish which is why I want to participate in this one. My Finnish quarter rules the wimpy Swede-Norskee half. The other 1/4 we don't talk about.

| This envelope has nothing to do with the Finnish mail art call. It's just filing the space incase I don't get around to sending anything to Finland. My granddaughter did the watercolor which I turned into an envelope I thought the stamps were nice - but think the clown's talk bubble is a very unfortunate miss. There were two nicer envelopes inside and this was just a wrapper. I was using up vintage stamps, but did not want multiples, so the inner envelopes were not mailable. I have no idea if I took pictures of them. Dang. |
I scrolled in a rush to see if those were koi. The images are soothing and remind me of fish in a pond beneath a shade tree. :)
