Beautiful vintage, Marie. Funny thing, I had done a vintage piece, then started playing around making boxes of stamps and ended up with a contemporary one. I'm glad. I couldn't compete with this beautiful bit of magic!
Like always, your vintage pieces are amazing! If I knew how to do that I wonder whether I would bother with paint, glue and all the mess I constantly seem to create. You are a magician! (and yes I know I have said that before)
Your wonderful collage is very touching - think of al the people who have been waiting for mail from their loved ones! The background collage is really fantastic.
I can just picture this woman waiting out at the end of her lane for the mail to be delivered. Hmmm...wonder who the sender will be? Very narrative piece and absolutely gorgeously designed.
Oooh, do like that, Marie, play on words - waiting for mail!!!' LOL!!
