Advent Mail Art 2017 { Post Kunst Werk }

Good thing that I started out earlier with this years Advent Mail Art

- a mail swap from Tabea and Michaela -

This years theme is "colored stripes" or as the Germans say "Farbstreifen"

Having lots of hurdles with my project this year... My glue-in-a-spray-can just didn't want to stick so I decided to stitch those colored stripes together ... needless to say that I ran out of my neon green thread (! yikes!! yes NEON green!!) with all that stitching going on... AND I had to oil my sewing machine three times (triple yikes !!!) during all that stitching.

What's next to come on this gray November day?!
