Usually I just slap a stamp on my postcards, address them and let them fend for themselves amongst the postal machinery. I think I had some cards get lost in the system last time, so this year I decided to put them in envelopes. The envelopes looked so plain and pale once I got them addressed that I had to get out my acrylics and give them all some painted borders. Then I added a few collage bits just to jazz things up a little. I guess "normal" mail just seems boring to me. The two cards destined for international locations have been posted and the rest should go out tomorrow.
I've been checking out some of the work of other participants in Hanna's Postcard Swap over on Flickr. What creative minds!
