Patriotic Mail Art

I was involved in a Mail Art exchange recently, and here is the piece that I stitched for Marie. 

The design on the front is from Sue Hillis' It's Summer Chart.







The design on the back is from Sue Hillis' Liberty chart.  The fabric I used for the lining has fire crackers on it.

I enclosed a postcard of Chicago and two skeins of Weeks Dye Works Americana floss.

I hope Marie likes it!

Awesome! Do you mail it as is, or do you mail it in something?

Eva said...

You mail as is. I ask the clerk at the post office to hand cancel it, and then off it goes.

Love the stamps with that chart!
The whole project really is wonderful. Someone needs to send me some mail art...oh wait, that would mean I have to send one back. I am SO not good at deadlines!
