Fran and I were very pleased to be invited by Dean Brown to be included in his on-line “Envelope Show”. Dean set up a deadline and artists were invited to send in envelopes that he would post as part a virtual art show that was delivered by the U.S. Post Office. I don’t think that the Post Office was threatened as it is now when this show originated but it definitely shows how dependent we are on its services and would be hard-pressed to come up with some private enterprise that would substitute.
Attached to this post is the original announcement that was sent from Dean, my contribution (only one side shown) and Fran’s first solution (she subsequently made a second entry because the oil stick pigments used on the one pictured did not dry in time to be sent through the mail - the sent envelope used acrylics). For some reason the acrylic envelope was not documented. It can be seen on line.
The completed entries will have postmarks, cancellations, stamps and the wear and tear that accompanies items sent in the mail. It will be fun to see the entire show on line. I expect that we will know a lot of the contributing artists and will be happy to see what they are making these days.
