Mail Art Monday - tribute to David Bowie

Exactly three weeks ago the news hit that David Bowie passed away. It really seemed like the whole world was grieving this loss. I sure was and I have shared my process of this grief with you here. A weekend later I made a limited edition run prints of 12 that I put up for sale on my personal FB page to share with friends. They were gone within a day. For the envelopes I made customized stickers and I sent 12 pieces of mail art the following monday.

Prints made with archival chalk versamark ink on A4 white matte sticker paper.

It was quite a process coloring and cutting them all out, but the result is very pretty, if I may say so myself.

All prints carefully packaged and ready to be mailed out. I love seeing the reactions of my friends when they get them in the mail. A few of them from instagram

My friend Tarah (@missthundercat) is talented stamp carver. 😻 She made this stamp last week, just for herself. But then kindly shared some prints among her friends.⚡❤ What a wonderful expression of emotions. #artwork #davidbowie #stampcarving

My friend @missthundercat is truly amazing, she hand carved this Bowie Ziggy stardust rubber stamp and create lovely A5 cards. I bought one of them, I just love it! Thank you Tarah!

Due to requests from others whom missed out on the first run of the print, I might make more Limited Edition runs of this carving to sell in the near future. If you are interested in a print, please follow my facebook page for updates. 

Have a great week!
