Full description

I'm really pleased with this little card. As always, it is completely unique and super eco-friendly.

I've been looking for some vintage seaside postcards for a while, and this Newquay one is a gem. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect. Those colours. Just what I was looking for.

Onto the postcard I have sewn the words 'Love You'. The letters were cut from old magazines and leaflets.

It seemed only fitting to make a special envelope. I used an original 1940 Ordnance Survey map of Anglesey. It is very delicate, what with it being 74 years old, so if you intend to post it, then put it inside another envelope to protect it.

Please be aware that the card is approx 50 years old and the envelope is 74 years old, so they show signs of wear and tear. I make no attempt to erase the blemishes left by life. My cards come with a history, I consider them works of art to be treasured.

The card measures 7cms x 8.8cms (folded) and the envelope measures 9cms x 10.5cms.

All of my work is numbered, this is 341.

More details can be found on my blog, alisonsye.com, where I record the making of my work.

Please give me a shout if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Alison.
