Laura made it up, I guess because she loves animals, just like me. :-)
This incredible cool mail art is made by Karen!
She put a lot of work in it, I love it!
She made a jungle of green leaves with cut outs that she glued on a plastic sheet.
Through the cut outs you can see jungle animals from her postcard peeking through!!
What a creative and original idea.
I also love that she has attached matching stamps.
Have a look at the gorilla in the corner looking through the leaves
These envelopes are made by Ivy:
Australia is famous for its unique wildlife, so I wanted to use the native animals.
I painted them in Dot Art style, a style of painting used by the australian aboriginals.
It is quite easy to do and I thinks the effect is great.
I wanted to use the nice animal stamps that we always had, but sadly I couldn`t find a post office who was still selling them, so I had to settle for the English Queen. :-( but I added an extra 5c stamp with a Platypus. :-)
This is the Sulphur crested cockatoo:
And on the back of the envelope I made drawings of the cockatoo, koala, platypus and the pygmy possum glider.
I also wrote a part of an aussie poem:
Men of science, wise and clever,
all declare that they have never,
Met the likes of these rare creatures,
which no other country features.
This animal envelope is made by Nathalie and looks like a zoo, I love all the little drawing of animals that she made , it is a great collage of animals and have a look at the stamps,a perfect match.
Also on the top beautiful tape with animals on it.
