suitcase of treasures

A sweet artistic friend, whose middle name just happens to be Kimi, gave me a vintage suitcase! It's just beautiful and will be perfect for carrying art.


Trying it out, I filled it up with mail art from artist friends around the world ~ Jessica Gowling in Canada, Juriko Kosaka in Japan, Gizem Vural in Turkey, Emily Orpin in Korea, Jeannine Saylor in Canada, and Toni Rica in the U.S.A.



With a little work on the presentation of the pieces ~ maybe some in frames? maybe some strung on ribbon from the top? ~ this little collection could make a nice addition to our Bay Street Cafe' art show. I will ask the artists if they'd like to be included in this way.

Of course I'd like to be included this way! It looks great.

Woohoo! I've heard back from just about everyone either here or on Twitter, so it looks like the mail-art suitcase will be part of our show! If any artists would like to send me business/artist cards that people can take to know more about you, feel free!

Also, if anyone else wants to send a small piece of art (perhaps 3x5") before 1/20 to include here, email me at kimikobashi {at} ymail.com for my address. ^_^
