You have such imagination Wilma!
Thanks John…everything is a possible art supplies to me. 😁😉
Clever girl! Love those local mail cancellation stamps. Your mom collected them? How awesome. I get all kinds of mail with uncancelled stamps now? I thought about peeling them off to reuse but wondered if it’s like invisible ink or something, ha! 💛K
Haha, I bet you could! Yes my mother collected them as a girl in the thirties and carried on into her late teens. No one else wanted them! Silly them! She had them sorted by country and in Canada by province in a handmade album. So sweet.
I’ve never heard of this kind of collection. How wonderful to have them and to be able to use them in your art. I’m smiling.
Wilma, you always delight.
Thanks amiga. 😚😚
Yes, I don’t know why she chose post marks but they often come with the location, date, day and time. I wonder what someone was posting on Sept. 30 1942, 3pm in Alert Bay for example. It’s so specific…it makes by mind buzz with possibilities. 😄
I’m smiling again, Wilma. You could write a whole story around that postmark.
Or an art piece!
