In the night I wrote a letter to dear Mano.
I added a few old photos from the fleamarket for her tiny boxes project to it
and fold it like that and fixed it with masking tape:
The whole act reminds me on the pretty movie 'Bright Star' of Jane Campion... so you, too?
In the morning through the pouring rain I walked to the post office to buy some pretty stamps... close to a field of peonies and smiling Franz Beckenbauer (the young one).
Look at those stamp... it isn't really pretty but 'Soccer Delighted Germany' (and me...) !
Now I hope that the ink did not wishy-washy
because of the rain and the letter will arrive just in time to dear Mano, our hostess of this
week's drawing challenge with... LETTER!
For more correspondence have a look at her amazing world, please.

AntwortenLöschenI was outside with my family...
and, wow, thank you for your comments here. Put me to the blush... I'm delighted!
I will read your letters at your places next day(s).

Ariane.
What a perfect romp! I love this journey of the written word, done in the light of candles with a stick pen nib made of metal on paper made from plant life fibres and created with the human hand and heart and walked to a post office to be mailed...and then the waiting...to receive the missive. The whole thing is just so perfectly great! Thank you for sharing Ariane *smiles* Norma
AntwortenLöschenp.s. I was thinking that a great theme would be 'little' book, or 'tiny' book.
Dear Ariane, such a lovely thing to do for Mano! It was fun going along to the postoffice with you. Thanks for the walk. :) Carole
AntwortenLöschenThis is great! I love "being there" so to speak :) and your writing is superb!
AntwortenLöschenOh and I just saw it on Mano's blog how totally cool is that :)
i love your documentation of this most timeless ( and I fear lost) practice.
AntwortenLöschenlucky mano!
also, your kiddlets on the tree tops! Oh my. How Greta would love this. Fun and challenging time while in the woods, what could be better?
Love
Rachel
Was für eine super idee um ein briefr an Mano zu schicken, sie hat sich sicher riesig gefreut!
