I don't know about you, but I open ALL my mail, even the stuff I know is junk, because you never know what kind of hidden treasures are lurking inside. I have stacks and stacks of fake credit cards just waiting for an artistic inspiration that will make them into something wonderful. I rarely have to print out return address stickers because I get them free, and I never have to buy a new calendar. My refrigerator is covered in meaningless magnets that are sent to me by credit card companies and realtors, should I ever get the urge to list my house. Having read about my neighborhood, you can probably understand why I wouldn't want to leave. I love a good mystery. Then there is the ubiquitous Business Reply Envelope. They come in everything. I figured there must be some use for these, too, so I did some funny little collages with them, added a little gesso, and used them for drawing backgrounds. This is one I did this evening called Take. I'll do it's counterpart, Give, maybe tomorrow.
Recycling is a good thing.

Business Reply Mail

I concur recycling is good, one can be quite creative (as you constantly are) with used goods/paper etc. This is opinion is final and no correspondence will be enetered into.
Wonderful, I must start paying closer attention to my junk mail!
I understand you, and do the same thing...open all!
Thanks for your visit.
Nice blog, sure I'll come back.
your work on this blog is fantasic! I've always hated my junk-mail, but I guess I should rethink all that...
