First Day Issue

First Day Issue
There is a lot going on here.  I am so into using tea bags and I am into using recycled items. Everything in First Day Issue comes from something that I am recycling.  I have used some of what I assume is washi tape off of a package.  I made my own CitraSolv papers from an old National Geographic.  The stamp comes from papers I found when cleaning out my parents' house.  The fabric is from my mother's quilting fabrics and the dictionary page from my father's office.  Ephemera is everywhere just start looking around. :-)

  1. Is this a sly commentary on the speed of the USPS mail service? As in, you'll be dead and buried before your letter reaches its destination?

  2. I can see the attraction of the tea bags John,
    I think I need to start hoarding them too?
    And, the whole composition is perfect!

  3. Nice orange glow. Let's face it - one man's ephemera is another man's rubbish. Even if I rename it, I still have too much in spite of frequent trips to all upcycling possibilities...
