Full description

Free UK postage.

Handmade original postcard, there is no other the same.

It is very, very, very eco-friendly, as everything used in its making was destined for the bin.

It is made from a cereal box and the cover of an old copy of 'The Surprise Party' by Pat Hutchins. The book was published (Puffin) in 1972, making the front of this card 41 years old. It is not a copy, it is made from the actual book. I never cut up books which could still be read, this particular copy was rather moldy in places. I acquired it some years ago, and couldn't bear to see it thrown away. This being the cover of the book, it is a little battered (but it would be after 41 years) and has a scribble on it.

It measures 20.7cms x 16.5cms.

If you would like to find out more about the making of this piece, please check out my blog (alisonsye.com), where I record the making of my work in much more detail. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

All of my work is individually numbered, this is 208.

In keeping with my ethos, your purchase will arrive on your doormat in a sewn envelope made from old magazines.

Please note, if you live outside the EU you may be responsible to pay import duties or taxes, in accordance with your country's customs laws.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
