fine art valentines - 2007
every year (for the last four years), i've hosted a FINE ART VALENTINE swap, roundabouts january-may, depending on the craziness of the year. sometimes the returns go back in february, but usually they do not.
why? well, the mail art world is a crazy thing, and sometimes i'm willing to wait for what i know is quality work. sometimes i get a little impatient, but it always works out in the end.
this year, 16 sets of valentines were shuffled and made their way back into envelopes to be returned all over the country, and also overseas.
people do all sorts of things from hand carved stamps, to intaglio, to serigraphy. it's really a wonderful sort of experience, with all sorts of skill levels involved. they're little gems of art, and i can't wait for next year!
when i finish scanning all of them, i'll send a link! this is one of my prints from the exchange (i did 2 sets). xox nicci

And of course nicci's were the best ones! I am completely new at this and need some practice. What a joy to find these in my mailbox today!
