I received a lovely piece of Mail Art in the mail the other day, all the way from Germany. The theme of this mail art round was "Fasching" or as we know it: Mardi Gras.
It was beautifully stitched and constructed, but Maria was afraid to send it through the mail, so she put it in an envelope. Although she put a stamp on the stitched envelope, it wasn't cancelled. It was lovely to received none the less.
This is the piece that I stitched for the exchange and sent to Michaela in Austria. I wanted to portray an American Mardi Gras, and finally found the chart that would work. Imagine my surprise when I found great Mardi Gras Fabric for the lining at my local JoAnn's!
Michaela hasn't yet received the envelope and I hope it gets there faster than the one I sent to German right after Christmas. That on took 6 weeks!
