About a month ago an Art Gallery in Coconut Grove, FL made a call to artists to send in their Mail art. Mail art, for those who do not exactly know what this is, is art created on an envelope or a handmade postcard. It can be anything, drawing, painting, mixed techniques, stamps, prints... you name it.. all is possible. But it have to be send in by mail with a post stamp
I participated and send in this little jewel.
Today I went to the same gallery to hand in a painting for a new exposition that will start with a nice opening on Saturday April 4th. While I was there the owner came up to me and told me that my envelope was stolen from the display.
I went over to the display... checked every envelope - believe me there are a lot - and while I was searching the whole display I could not believe it....
Mail art may not look like much to some people, but an artist put time and effort into it and it is work on display! Somebody walked in and grabbed it... yeah, it is gone.
I will make a new one.... darn, I will make even two new ones! And although I am upset with the person who stole my mail art, I have to admit...
It is a thief with taste...
