Tag You're It! - #1

Hello! It has been a long time since I posted. I retired and have been figuring out what creative outlet is next. I’ve always wanted to collage and have certainly collected enough to do just that.

Late last year we saw the Ray Johnson exhibit at the Art Institute in Chicago. His work inspired me. Especially because he was the father of mail art. And if you know me at all you know I love mail. Weekly I sit at my Dad’s small mid century desk to do my correspondence. I also like tags. And small art. Above is my first attempt to develop some mod podge skills. Not perfect but I made some tags and sent them out with a blank tag in case the friend who received it wanted to send me some art back. The best part is that there are no rules. It is just some creative fun.

Laurie sent 2 because the first one appeared lost in the postal system. And then it showed up!

That is it from here. Enjoy your Summer, it is going fast.
