This is one of the collage postcards from a series I've been working on in connection with an imagined journey. The ship is from a flyer for an exhibition about the "Titanic", which took place in Kiel this summer. The map fragment is from a newspaper search game. Both items go to show that material is everywhere, even though German advertising material is traditionally boring to the extreme. I'll admit I can get a little envious when my US-based art friends enthuse about AOL CD tins, fake credit cards and the like! Other items used include scraps of patterned papers and lacy cellulose paper.

This is a wonderful bit of serendipity art. Travel is a subject dear to me. I love how you have given so much expression to this little card using such "common" resources. It takes an artist to uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary. Great going!
this is a fun piece of found art collage...who would not love to find that in their mailbox???...blessings, rebecca
