The connections you can make across the interwebs are wacky and wondrous. Through my long time following of the blog of bookbinder extraordinaire, Paperiaarre, I came across the link to another artist's blog (as is often to happen in this wide webbed world).
The blog was 101 Bird Tales by UK artist, Amelia Critchlow.And in a way that hasn't happened since I first filled my Reader, I found myself clicking through ages of her archives of well written and thoughtful posts.
It just so happened that on the day I found myself exploring her blog she posted a shout out call for a swap. It was right before the holidays amidst all the rush and bustle. Regardless, I happily commented on her blog that I'd love to participate.
I sent off a lovely little experiment of ink and wax in a doodled upon envelope and when I came back from my Christmas holiday I found this exquisite little gift in my mailbox.A message of "Freedom" all the way from a land far far away.

oooooh - thank you for the posting!!! Looks fab, forgotten what it looked like!!!
It is sooooo exciting. I have yours and one of the others, but still awaiting a couple of others more, and then I will post them up too!!
It's so nice to reach out like this and funny too to see these things in the posession of some-one I've not met before. One day . . . at a Miami art show or something : )

Hooray! Can't wait to see what other folks did for their swaps once you get it all posted!
Meeting at an art show in Miami would be mighty fun indeed = )
