Full description

Free UK postage.

Unique handmade 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 an old copy of 'The Surprise Party' by Pat Hutchins. The book was published 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.

It measures 20.5cms x 15cms.

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, Twitter and Pinterest.

All of my work is individually numbered, this is 210.

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

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