Participating in mail art activities continues to excite my creative spirit. After a long hiatus I've re-started creating mail art. The series, The Philosophy of Tea, combines recycled tea bags, papers painted with tea, tea tags, and other ephemera. Each 'page' of the collage lifts up to reveal additional elements. Each one in the series is unique.<br />
<br />
I've also started answering Calls for Entries. See my drawing for <i>Redwork Post </i>here https://redworkpost.tumblr.com --scroll down to November 14, 2018 entries. The drawing celebrates my husbands delicious home-grown tomatoes. Diana Hale converts the drawings into<i> redwork </i>embroidery. The squares will be used to create a 'mail art' quilt.<br />
<br />
A call, <i>Landscape 2019,</i> popped up on IUOMA recently and I could not resist. This postcard, <i>Dreaming the Land,</i> has been waiting a long time for the right venue.<br />

This piece was created using the clayprint monotype process. The plate is a slab of clay and clay slips are used to add the color. Brushes, stencils and other mark-making techniques are used to form the image. It is printed by laying a special polyester fabric over the damp clay markings and using a roller to transfer the image to the fabric. I learned about the process from Martha Castillo. Learn more about the process at http://www.marthacastillo.net<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Creating mail art in response to calls for entries is always a fun challenge and full of surprises. These two months I have sent out entries to multiple venues. I have used a variety of media to create these mini-artworks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The following entry is for an exhibition celebrating the Canadian artist, Anna Banana, and her 45 years of promoting artists' stamps and the mail art genre. The exhibition will be held at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, BC, Canada, September 19, 2015 to January 3, 2016.</span><br />

An international bicycle race is coming this autumn to Richmond, Virginia. I sent this drawing that I made for a design course to the call for entries. An IOUMA member, Richard Canard, wrote, " <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">...Ms. Carmela Rizzuto turns the bicycle into some sort of graphic Picassoid personnage. I am in admiration of those who pedal bicycles as well as those who make art at the mention of a word..." (I am in awe of your way with words, Richard!)</span></span><br />
