MERMAID MAIL
Mail art for MotherOPearl.
Yes… I know I was a bit sloppy.
In my glass work I can’t afford to be, so its fun to just…
be sloppy in my other things.
I like it.
She is in a giant sardine can surrounded by shells and beads.
Her water is casting resin, so its rock hard.
See even my mermaid has facial hair.
Well, that’s it, the latest piece to go out.
If any of you want some ART, my rules are simple…
Send me your address and I will send you mine.
I will make you a piece and send it… but here’s the kicker…
YOU HAVE TO MAIL ME ONE BACK!
I am still waiting for two pieces from other Xangans. *sigh*
Of course there is NO time frame…
Although within a couple of months would be nice.
We just get to it when we get to it.
SEEDSOWER yours is next!
***EDIT***
See the tiny frog on her shoulder?
I try to put a frog in everything I do…

pppsssttt i want one
@TheGreenPanther - Of COURSE! I know how to find you.. MUAHAHA! I’ll let you know when its on its way.
How about a piece of mail art for a small book of poetry?
dan
If that’s glass work, then I’m VERY impressed. It’s so detailed!
Is there a story behind the frogs that you could share? It sounds intriguing.
That is awesome. =)
I had no idea you were such a creative genius.
@Danth - Sounds like I would get the better end of THAT deal! I’ll take it!
How beautiful–you do really nice work! I would like one, too, but not sure what I could send back!?!
I have to wonder what people at the postal service think when they get mail like this!!!! For the most part I imagine that it’s a fun break from the same old, same old. I like your mermaid a lot, she’s wonderful! I’m trying to think what I would do for mail art…the brain isn’t chugging along very quickly this morning. Peace
That is too cute!
‘cuz frogs rock!
Ang,that is even better than the Art-o0mat,I swear!!!
You are so creative ,talanted and wonderful!
Hae an ugly mini with a good message!
Humm… frogs!
Eating kind or jumping kind? This has got to be a good story!
I think this–your whole mail art concept– is just AMAZING! I LOVE it! You sent them just like that? I mean, not even in a package and they go through the mail just like that? HOW? Where do the addresses go on them? The postage?
What a fun idea! I love it!
Happy Saturday!
Ha ha ah…verrrrrrry creative…
That’s so wild! I love it!
I’m terrible with glass work. Can it be any form of art?
Great work! And I just noticed the frog! Cute! You are very creative.
Oh that is TOO COOL!!! You are so talented! You could definitely start your own business. I would love a piece of your creativity, however, I have NO artistic ability whatsoever and I think you would be disappointed in what I would send you in return!
Keep up the great work. It’s amazing to see the awesome ideas you have!
Very fun!
that is just too too cool. and count me in. but I get to pick what kind of art I send back right?
and what’s up with the frog? do tell…
Great work. Love the casting resin effect. Mermaids are cool.
the mermaids are so cool! OMG–they’re just awesome. I have a sub who does beautiful dolls (as well as jewelry)–she may be a possibility to exchange with. I haven’t done crafts in a long while.
This is my favorite one so far! I love it
So cool!!! You did an EXCELLENT JOB!!!
i love frogs…a little garlic, and some jerk sauce…mmmmm-mmmmmm tasty!!!…kidding…Laurel and my “song”, oddly enough, is Kiss That Frog, by Peter Gabriel…great job on the mermaid…hugs…animal
cool..how did you get or make that blond hair?
How about a piece of mail art from you in exchange a souvenir (from an exotic country you’ve never been to before) from me?
@GunStarHero1988 - John! Of course! the post office won’t let you mail glass without packing it, or liquid things so… anything is a go! Just send me your addy!
Thanks for the credits! (hug) you rock!
I want to do this! Message coming your way!!!
Hey Angi! Glad to see your page still full of bearded ladies and creative fun art! I’m back on a temporary “fence sitting”, deciding where my new blog will be, and thought I’d drop by to say hello!
I’m going to post my red boots again! Check back in a couple of moments.
We are telling the pups, to “do your business” or “go potty”…our dog freckles is the same way, if we say “go potty” she will squat on command!!! It is a life saver!!!
Ang, I would just LOVE to have a piece of art from you….the mermaid is too cool…she looks like she is wondering how she’ll get OUT of the sardine can! Ha! I do beaded jewelry, so I would LOVE to make something for you in return for your art….I’ll make a necklace or bracelet…just tell me what colors you like! Can’t wait! Hugs, Lowie
So now I’ll always be looking for a frog
I love mermaids. When I settled down a little and I’m not so much in demand (LOL)…I want to do some mail art.
I’m so intrigued… but not really clear on the “rules”… does it have to be mailed… sans packaging? Like the art itself has to be part of the package? Hmmm… let me know more and I might well have to participate.
That is o so cool!!! Superb!!!
I like mermaids. That was very creative.

What a bunch of them ^ said/asked. What’s the significance of frogs? For you? Ive always been partial to critters; felines, reptiles, and amphibians especially so. I’ve a special spot for salamanders and that’s a story all its own. Mind sharing your frog one? Merry Sunday.
Wow,
I just saw a very similar piece on E-Bay go for just over $34,000, only it was in a tuna can.
(smile)
@Slag_Runner - Ver funny! :-b
Oh… I’ve done tuna and sardine cans too… nothing is safe.
I have never heard of mail art. What a neat and fun idea!
That’s so cool!!!
ryc it’s as good a reason as any and better than most. Thanks for sharing!
This is really neat!!!! I love it!!! And you added a frog!! See I’m not the only who loves frogs!
I am still in love with the piece that you sent pictured above. I have it on a pedestal in the living room for all to see! Thanks again. I’m still smiling! *Smooch*
@MotherOPearl - I still have my aquarium on the book shelf tha I pass on my way up the stairs every day. I love it too.
Thanks D! I think YOU rock!
replica handbags do undoubtedly make for a costly purchase. Whether you think this makes replica louis vuitton are overrated or not, depends entirely on what set of values you are holding replica handbags up to. If quality of workmanship and investment return are important to you, you might find that replica bags are well and truly worthy of their rating. It is very much a personal preference.
