21 - Freedom

21 - Freedom, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Ever since the awesome Thai mailartist Ubon sent us this gem, I've wanted to send her a return piece of mailart based on the same photoshoot, but have never felt confident that I'd made a piece quite worthy of her watercolour skill. I think I may finally have overcome that one.

Watercolour mailart from Ubon - August 2009: Elena at Blenheim Palace

One of the original photos on which that piece was based was taken at Blenheim Palace in Oxford, and this photo was taken on the same day. I used a tracing paper stencil to cut out the outline then wanted to repeat that pose a few times to emphasise the feeling of freedom and happiness expressed by Elena

Really beautiful Andy. Every sticker one that you do is better than the last.


Thanks JJ, I'm really loving the technique myself. It's full of surprises and the effect is remarkably satisfying. I love the fact that I can make use of all these old photos that I have lying around too. Art from very little that's what I like best


I like this one.

Have you thought about having the sticker be the outline? (like, make the lines out of sticker, and eliminate the pen and ink? An idea.
