Comment: Amazing this arrived in 12 days from Germany!! I sent mine to a US address earlier than yours, and it is yet to be rated. Thank you very much for the nicely decorated envie, the postcard, the beautiful paper napkin, and the stamps to be recycled.
Response: My pleasure, thank you! The different travel durations are quite interesting. seems like international mail is handled quicker (my mail to and from the US arrives usually very quick) than your domestic mail. Which is paradoxic...

Comment: Lovely to see my inkboxcard in this swap looks completely different. Your barcodes are that small, you can put a lot of them on 1 card. Thanks you so much for the Berlin items. I visited the city 8 years ago for the last time and met the Berliner Mauerweg. I did not have enough time then and only my 2 feet and public transport. Our daughter has plans to move over to Berlin because of her job, so maybe we can visit her and bike a part of the route.
Response: My pleasure, thank you! So you've already a long list for several visits. :)

Comment: Thanks for this beautiful piece, the extra envie and the beautiful collaged envelope. It has been a cool summer here. We rarely got above 50 degrees. I have tons of potatoes to dig up soon. I think people who are designing packaging are recognizing that crafters are reusing them and making them more user friendly to recycle into crafts. Yay! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

I never tire of postage people, and your duck-headed woman quacked me up! (sorry, I couldn't resist). Great selection of papers you used. I agree with you that paper is such a WONDERFUL material. I brought a big box full of assorted papers home from my trip. Can't wait to start using them.
Response: I'm super happy that now in fact both, the original and the resend, arrived! I should start to browse through my stamp stash and look for some more animal head stamps. The duck person was so fun to make!

It’s always nice to receive your creativity in my mailbox Monique. I sometimes wonder where you get the ideas. Love it! And it looks like you had a great hiking trip, better luck with the weather next time. Thanks again for the great card!
Response: Thank you! I guess when the parrots manage to take a trip under water, they also are fine with their hotel. At least it got some windows. :) Sometimes I hate my ideas when it comes to the point of glueing everything down (when there's a lot over-under-layering). Putting small glued paper bits (which tend to roll up) into slits makes me mad. :)

Comment: Your experiment had arrived 2 days ago. I think it is a success. The sky is fantastic! And about the water? Nice to see how plastic wrap (of bubble wrap) is used in all sorts of art. I use it on my Gelly plate. Never just throw anything away!
Response: You're welcome, thank you! I'm glad that you like it. :) Good idea with plastic wrap on a gelli plate - I will put this on my list to try it out!

Comment: This is really cool!! Thank you so much for joining my swap. Love your creations. I actually have a bonsai (not the evergreen but the other kind) that I got in my Lunar Subscription Box. It's SO cool. I have tons of plants but haven't ever had one like this. It's almost 2 years old so I must be doing ok. I don't really do anything but water it!!
Response: My pleasure, thank you! I think my bonsai suffered from my tries of cutting it. So I better read the book instead of cutting it up for collaging material. :)

Comment: I like the idea of vellum but I think tissue paper works better in collage for a similar -ish look. What collage challenge are you considering? I only found one, from kolaj magazine... but the first prompt seemed extra challenging! http://kolajmagazine.com/content/content/collage-events/februllage-2020/
Response: I think you're right about the tissue paper, maybe even sandwich paper! These papers act more like real paper than vellum. Yes, it's the challenge mentioned in the link. Till today I'm still going strong and I hope to serve every prompt.. :)

There is a marvelous book titled Radioactive by Lauren Redniss, in which she uses many cyanotypes to illustrate her story of Marie & Pierre Curie. I highly recommend it. Thanks so much for your wonderful card & I’m so sorry the first one went astray.
Response: Ah, superb! Good luck in making your own cyanotypes, it's real fun! I've looked up the book, you even can see the imprint of the foil she used to print her drawings on! It's a great idea to choose this way of illustration for a book about scientists.

Response: I'm relieved that it made it savely through the hurricane and that you were save too. Now I will pause making cyanos. I think the pile will be enough through the winter. :)

All you touches are just great - the background old book page, stamping, bits of sparkly tape, etc. It really makes for a great composition. So thank you for a really fun swap!

It's a lovely composition. I rarely get a damaged postcard, but it does happen, so that's why I'm super glad you posted a photo. I wish everyone posted a photo of their swap art every time, and I'm always a little surprised that Swap-bot doesn't have a gallery for us to post in.
Response: Thank you! Sorry that it didn't arrived in one piece. Postal machines getting hungrier it seems. Thanks for letting me know, I will think of using sealant again.

Response: Oh great, thank you, it was so fun to create! The hope is growing as I saw yesterday which new stamps will be released till end of the year. Four new "heads". :)

Comment: I love this! The way you tore the paper for the background is terrific! It's almost a "family tree". Things are slowly drying up here. I was finally able to see my whole driveway last Friday. The upside is since most of the backyard and all of the front yard are still under water, I won't have to mow any time soon! Thanks again!!
Response: You're welcome! Never had the family tree in mind, but you're absolutely right. Family full of composers. :) So I wish you a autumn with less rain to help with drying.

Response: My pleasure, thank you! No ironing. I glued different coloured and patterned papers with a glue stick on top of each other and then ripped the layers. So it must be the glue stick. It stays flat, no wrinkles or bubbles.

Tanks a lot for all of it - no, not too brown as it has many uplifting colors. Until 'next round' :-) <3 - Ellen . . . . . . BTW there's a card from me coming to you soon!

Comment: WOW! What an awesome PC. At first glance the paper looks like torn bits of black & white designed that you water colored over. Looking at it more closely I see that you Zentangled it all by hand! Inspiring. Alas, I tried it but could never get good at it. Truly appreciate the time you took to create this awesome PC!
Response: Thanks part #2. :) It was a pleasure! Keep trying with zentangling, it's just "one stroke at a time".

Response: Super, dankeschön! Da bin ich aber erleichtert. Eigentlich war die Karte schon viel zu schwer für "normales" Briefporto. Aber erstaunlicherweise hat der Mann von der Post nicht protestiert, nachdem ich den frankierten Brief abgegeben habe. Meine Postkarten habe ich bisher noch nie gewogen, hat immer geklappt. Aber ein Umschlag ist ja etwas anderes. :)

Comment: Belated thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this delightful, wonderfully thoughtful envelope of happy mail, Monique, from the foxes and festive envelope to the contents and letter! You deserve many more hearts <3 I love everything you picked, the whimsical tags, lovely reminder of a quote on the lighthouse bookmark, fragrant teas, beautiful washi samples (I've had my eye on that collage/newsprint pattern for awhile, as well as the sprinkles :), postcards, and adorable stickers. I also agree that it's refreshing that White Collar features crimes/mysteries that don't primarily revolve around murder or assault, with a great rapport between the leads and among the main cast members, and it's continuously amazing that Mr. Bomer looks like a Disney prince (as Hilarie Burton, who played Sara Ellis, said in an interview ^_^) I hope our paths cross again soon, and I also hope to pass on your kindness in my future swaps! xx
Response: Oh wow, thank you too! Happy Mail worked again. :) Funny, the collaged washi was my latest buy back then. Mr. Bomer as a Dinsey prince, yes imaginable. But please without the typical singing... All good things come in threes, see you then. ;)

Comment: Hello Monique :-) . . . . I just adored receiving your envelope and letter! At first I studied the envelope to see what it could be about. You did such a wonderful job creating an image for your quote, I really very nearly had the gist of the meaning even before I opened the letter. This was a really good illustration of your chosen quote, which has no known author. I sure enjoyed reading your letter too. My youngest daughter (26) had brought me the mail and she was curious about the envelope so I read her the letter out loud. We both were thinking how awful was the teacher you described! She should have been suspended from teaching anymore and maybe even put in a cell for a while for doing what she did to the girl's hair. If you had such an awful time in the basic chemistry class then I'm very glad for you that the advanced one didn't actually occur for that semester. I was a real academic "Nerd" in High School and took Chemistry I and Chemistry II, Biology I and Biology II, Physics I and Physics II, and advanced math classes as well. That was all SO long ago! (graduated in 1968) . . . looked up the other quote and it wasn't from Goethe but was from Erich Kästner zitat - "even if there are stones in your way, you can build something beautiful." But I thought it was funny about building a house from the hard as stone rolls! And oh yes, thanks for the little cute paper clip too. I love it <3
Response: Thank you for your lovely rating! So glad that it worked out as I intended to. :) With that Goethe/Kästner quote bothered me! Ha. On the backery bag Goethe was printed as the author. When I searched for a proper translation into English it was also always Goethe. Now I know it's was more likely Kästner. Or maybe both said similar things. Both never told me the quote in person, so I can't prove. :P

Comment: Thank you so much for everything from the colorfully decorated envelope and postage, great postcards (the "Tanz mit mir" made me grin because it's the refrain of one of my favorite Ra Ra Riot songs :) and I love the Jugendstil card you made me!), kawaii stickers, tapes, bookmark, teas, stamps (!!!), and your sweet note on the Roy Lichtenstein-esque/Pop Art paper! It was just what I needed this gloomy, overcast morning after a difficult night saying a temporary goodbye to my pets. Hope you are having a good week, and I hope our paths cross again :)
Response: You're very welcome, thank you! Always nice when the "happy" part of happy mail works, makes me happy in return :) Happy swapping and may the rest of the week will be better for you!

Response: You're welcome! Also good luck for your new lavender! I also tried to grow some from seeds (I got the seeds as a gift) and they're doing fine for now!

Your zetangles are cool and the envelope in lime green is my favorite color! I have been trying zetangling recently too - it's a relaxing way to create and "zone out" a bit. :) Thanks so much for such a lovely and personal profile-based swap!
Response: Many thanks! Great that you liked the surprizes. I somehow couldn't stop stuffing the envie. :) Well the owls were easy for me as I also like owls. :P

Comment: Thank you so much for your creation! It's lovely and I agree: what's a Pocket Letter without goodies? I adore the blue elephant (it has found its place on my wall with received items). And I'm curious: did you made the bow ties (I can't find a satisfactory translation, in German "Fliege") yourself? Yhey are very cute. You're new to Pocket Letters? You made a very good start. And it's addictive.....
Response: I'm happy you like it! What a honor for the elephant.:) Yes I did the bows. I can give you the instructions if you're interested. You're right they are addictive and I will do some more for sure!
