I love snail mail! A pin for those of us keeping the post office going. Calling all pen pals and mail lovers! This snail mail enamel pin illustrated by me (Susie Ghahremani) is for you! This kawaii snail mail pin is made of black-tinted metal and enamel, measuring 1.25” wide, 1” tall. Please be advised that this lapel pin has small parts (butterfly clasps on the back) and is not made for children! Original illustration / design © Susie Ghahremani / boygirlparty ®
Snail Mail is a hand-printed linocut postcard. Use it as truly unique and special stationary for your favorite penpal or hang it as a piece of art! Hand carved and printed with traditional printmaking techniques, each print is slightly unique! The hand printing process means some prints have a lovely slightly faded or mottled texture to them. Look through the photos to see this variety! Snail Mail is printed on sturdy brown postcards with black Caligo Safe Wash Ink. To keep costs down, this postcard is mailed in a standard envelope. You can find behind the scenes content and shop updates on instagram @magpiemohr!
Enfin le printemps semble de retour, les journées commencent à être plus lumineuses. Cela me donne l'envie de créer de jolies harmonies d'aquarelles. Ce sont toutes les nuances de vert tendre, de fleu

Quite a lot of people have been e-mailing and writing letters to me and asking about getting pen pals or how to get more involved in mail art. So, I decided to write a post about it. Everyone who reads this blog knows how much I love to get mail. To get good mail you really have to send good mail. I've been writing letters and corresponding with people all over the world for just about my whole life. It takes some effort to get started and some people won't write back but just keep trying. I know it's been said already, but people just don't save email like they do letters. Look at these old beauties. These letters weren't even sent to me but I love reading them. And you don't get gorgeous stamps like these on emails. But I know I am preaching to the choir. If you are looking for mail artists and/or pen pals, get yourself over to Carolee's blog right this minute and check out all the folks who are doing the same -- Make Every Day a Good Mail Day It will take some effort to read through all those blog posts but I guarantee you will find people who love mail on there. I have gotten quite a number of wonderful correspondents from that post. My suggestion is, write some letters! Don't just add your name to the post and ask people to write to you. Mail Art Received If you are interested in mail art, you might try joining IUOMA - International Union of Mail Artists or join up with the Mail Art365 group -- a great bunch of people who are committed to making and sending a mail art card every day for a year. Mail Art 365 Another thing to try, how about writing letters (and asking questions) to members of your own family? Moms and Dads and grandparents would most likely be thrilled to get letters and if they write you back you will have a lovely stack of family history to save and share. I treasure all my letters from my mom. This envelope is from her -- every time I see that rubber stamp giving the finger I laugh. (I wish I had it) You could say she was kind of anti-establishment. Try to make your mail interesting. Enclose some extras things inside the envelope - photos of your town, a great recipe, bookmarks....anything local and interesting to share. As you write and get to know people you can send them things you know would be interesting to them - a book or a movie review etc. Another site to check out is Send Something There are some mail art blogs on the left side of this post and a special favorite of mine is Make Every Day A Red Letter Day. Go over and click! I hope you all know know about Jennie and Carolee's book -- Good Mail Day You can look online and google "mail art" for ideas and stimulation, start your own mail art/letter writing group and meet up every couple of weeks or one a month to exchange ideas and write letters or make art, check out Pininterest and search for mail art, join the Letter Writers Alliance read letter writing and mail art blogs, write a whole lot of letters, keep trying, check out mail art on FaceBook. You can leave comments on this blog post if you are looking for others to write to -- you can leave your name and address (if you are OK with that) and write something about yourself or an email address and maybe some new mail art connections will be made right here! If you have any ideas about getting mail, please add them to the comments! I bet there are some more really good ideas out there that I've missed. Remember, Cappuccino and Art Journal is also on FaceBook and I post "extras" on there - links and photos - so check it out. ****** Let's make every day A GOOD MAIL DAY!

Hi everyone and welcome. Throughout this month Eileen Hull's teams are featuring creations with fibres, fabric and felt components. The designers are using them for accents on projects as well as major parts in their constructions. In one of Eileen's most recent Lives she looked at ideas for filling all those journals we've had such fun making. Feeling inspired I've decided to show you some ideas for doing the same, incorporating fabric and fibres with Eileen's dies. (click on each photo for a closer look) The page with the pansies on may look complicated but it's easy to achieve and begins with pieces of brown paper (old packaging material, a used paper bag, etc) and some torn scraps of muslin. Start layering them with extra scraps of fabric and gluing it all in place; curtain samples, old net curtains, linens with holes in that would be destined for the trash - it will all work to add texture and pattern to your page. I save any paper/card left over from making the insides of journals because they will of course coordinate perfectly. Here I have die cut some using Eileen's Sizzix 'Snail Mail' Die Set; it's a good idea to cut the frame as well as the stamps - you'll see why later. Tear apart the stamps and rearrange them over the layers of fabric before adding tracing paper or vellum die cut with one of Eileen's more delicate die designs; you can see below how I've used the Sizzix 'Mandala' Die and one of the Sizzix 'Journaling Cards, Hearts' Dies to do this. You can draw your own flowers, die cut and paint some or (as I have here) find them in discarded gardening encyclopaedias. The one I discovered in a local charity shop had lots of botanical drawings which, when tea stained and watercoloured, make perfect focal points. At this point you can save your completed collages for future use. And of course these fabric collages don't have to be limited to floral themes; use your own choice of images and when you have made a few scatter them throughout a new journal, leaving the remaining pages empty ready for the eventual recipient to add their own journaling. To finish mine I added lace trim to the edge of each journal page and glued the collage pieces on top. I also like to hand stitch some cross stitches through the layers of the collage and even through the page they are sitting on. Going back to the original photo of my two page spread you'll see how I've balanced the design on the opposite page by adding an embossed vellum flap and a coordinating butterfly cluster. Again, the blank page underneath can then be used for journaling purposes. Taking a closer look you can see where the vellum has been embossed with Eileen's Sizzix 'Vintage Buttons' 3D Embossing Folder over-layed with one of the Snail Mail frame pieces - nothing goes to waste! The painted fabric butterfly was die cut from Eileen's Sizzix 'Birds & Butteflies' Die Set and mounted on another of those Snail Mail stamp shapes with a vintage tag and scrap of cotton lace. Here's the collage page in more detail, made exactly the same way and this time incorporating tracing paper die cut with Eileen's Sizzix 'Heart Mandala' Die. And here you can see those lines of cross-stitching which have added to the stencilled collaging on the next page. Also on these pages is a scrap cluster using Eileen's new 'Snail Mail - Postage' stamp set from Maker Forte and some hand drawn leaves over a Gel Press printed background (a tutorial for this process can be found HERE). The words and patterns come from a Rebekah Meier TCW stencil called 'Mini Love and Peace' which feels very appropriate at the moment. I hope you've enjoyed seeing how fabric and fibres can be used with your die cuts and stamps to create collages which can help fill your journal pages. Make sure to check out all the fantastic projects and tutorials from the rest of Eileen's team members - links to their posts can be found on Eileen's blog throughout the month. For now thanks for visiting, Jenny xxx

Email might be convenient - but not so nice to look at! These were an "accessory" on one of the displays in the Final Year Students exhibition at BCUC - the "Red Shed" textiles design studio. The web site link is here . No web site could do justice to the quality of work on display. I loved the energy and originality of these new young designers. I didn't like to take photos of the exhibits without the explicit permission of the designer first - sadly most of the designers were not there this morning. Boy did I have an itchy shutter finger!!! PS - I may not have a style of my own - but you get variet y in this photostream!!! :-)

I love getting and sending snail mail! Everything is digital these days, making a proper special colorful piece of mail just feel so personal and magical. Bring back the pen pal days of your youth and drop a friend something fun in the mail! A2 card. Printed on 110lb paper. Blank inside. By Ash+Chess.
Designed and handmade by me. Backpack has adjustable nylon web straps with bronze tone metal hardware. Photographs by Julie Floro photography. Outer fabric is a super soft green faux suede. The backpack is lined with “snail-mail” fabric, which I designed using vintage love letters. Dimensions: About 8.5 inches across the widest point, top to bottom. Zipper opening: 6 inches However, the inside of the purse is stuffed for shape, so that reduces the amount it can hold. Future snail shell purses will have more room! Current turnaround time 2-3 weeks.
