Arteth Gray has just posted the ‘before’ (pre-mail!) picture of the woven postcard I received, on her blog, so I thought I should do a before and after update here.
I feel kind of bad, because the ‘before’ picture is so lovely (look how straight those edges are!), and you can see just how much damage the journey did to it. On the other hand, the whole point of mail art is that the journeyis a part of both the process and the artwork, so I’m still exceedingly happy to have received it, & I still think it’s brilliant. Thanks again, so much, Arteth!

ouch! Look like the mail sorting machines didn’t appreciate it too much
Or maybe loved it so much they tried to grab it to keep it 😛
The second suggestion, of course 😉
