Art from Oakland

I purchased some art from an artist friend in Oakland. This beautifully decorative package was delivered.
The package contains 2 collage pieces; I hesitate to open it as it destroys the packaging piece. I suppose a photo of it will have to suffice....
East Village
San Diego, California
A photo is a good keepsake for such a piece of art.

This is wonderful! Your friend must have chosen the paper and stamps especially for you, knowing that you would appreciate them.

That's terrific...I always decorate my envelopes, but not as nicely as that!

@deu49097 @cejaanderson @yogisue When I unwrapped it I planned on saving the front, but then I thought that I have enough stuff laying around here...so the pic will have to suffice.
I was really curious about the rubber stamps of the tubes of Cadmium Yellow paint: who would make such a stamp for so esoteric an item? Only a painter would know what it was. I asked her.
She told me, "You're a painter."
She works in collage. She sent me 2 nicely-framed collages.

What a neat array of stamps and a creative still life

Definitely interesting wrapping!

Three years ago, exactly! I just came across this and absolutely love both the stamps...and the Stamps! This most decidedly is Mail Art, and I have a drawer filled with the wonderful pieces friends have sent to me in past years!
