I am a thief!
As many of my fellow handmade students are aware, i have an early morning cleaning job at the Sheffield University Union, what they do not know is that i have started raiding the bins in the offices (Rights of Advice and the SSID), hoping to find used envelopes with stamps and postal marks on! some of the letters have lovely foreign stamps an post marks on them (alot of the mail they get is from international students about visa’s and such), so i’m building up quite a collection!
I thought i might use them somehow for the new brief, but some of them are so pretty i loath to stick them into my sketchbook, instead i have cut them into butterfly shapes and plan to put them in a deep frame. Saw the idea in living etc, which, yes i am sad enough to buy on occasion!
