Mail art no. 34

mail art

Two-sided brown mail art envelope piece, created by Amelia Etlinger, which is presented in five separate images. The first two images are of a multi-media insert within the envelope entailing a smaller, pale paper envelope wrapped at the center with a translucent green ribbon and tied with pink thread, isolated against a black background. The third image presents an unfolded translucent paper with visible creases, decorated with layered green lace ribbons, pink fabric pieces, and red thread stitching arranged vertically at the center viewed against a black background. The following two images present both front and back of the brown mail art envelope enclosing the mail art inserts. The front of the envelope displays a circular target-like design and cut-out text for “NY State University at Buffalo,” handwritten notes, stamps, and “first class” marking, centered against a black background. The back of the envelope is marked “First Class” and is embellished with a green lace bow and a white fabric flower tied with pink thread, with taped edges and a small label, also centered against a black background. Mail art recipient: Eric J. Carpenter.
