Thanks Lorraine for the Well Weathered Art Warrior and enclosed puzzled poem

Lorraine has a new Mail Art Call:
FASHION - Send your visual views on clothing, fads and fashions.
Please make the envelope a fashion statement. Then stuff it with tissue paper, wrapping paper and ribbon that has been printed with any kind of advertising or logos. Old clothing labels would be great too. Samples posted on my blog. Mailing Size: not important. Technique: anything on your envelope. Deadline: Dec 31, 2010. All mail to be posted on http://paperandpostage.blogspot.com Documentation to all in the spring of 2011. I will be making a dress with everything you send - stamps, envelopes, paper, ribbon and labels. With luck the dress will become part of a fashion show on recycling. Questions? pixelkart@gmail.com Lorraine Kwan #202, 3580 West 41st Ave Vancouver BC Canada V6N 3E6
