This is the first envelope from Julie in WA. She enclosed a nice note, introducing herself. I noticed that Julie is making digital art which has always been included as an acceptable medium for the exchange. Kathleen Rea (I think that was her name) exchanged for quite a while and then disappeared. As I recall, she was the only person who made digital art. I will continue to welcome digital art even though most of us are making things by hand.
If you read the blog daily, you might recall that I am trying to discourage people from doing collage and using washi tape because the USPS sorting machines are aggressive and collage and tape tends to get shredded. I am also taking a stand against sealing wax. Most of the time, the envelopes arrive with a blot where there had been sealing wax. Yes, I know it's *cool* - please save it for the gorgeous envelopes that you deliver by hand.

I loved this movie. It's for people who like art and are intrigued by artists who find a muse. This is a very slow paced look into some old slides of unknown origin that mesmerized an artist and the amazing way he was able to track down the full story of the person who captured his attention. It's a lovely story. Although, if you are not an artist and you often think that artists are off their rockers - you might not like it - or you might feel validated in your perspective.
