Postal Bliss | Collage week 34
Welcome to the current week of my 365 collage project, week 34. Yes, this week is week 34 this year and I am finally “caught up” to the current week with my big project of creating seven collages each week. Yay!
I am loving these seven collages, made from old envelope remains and cancelled postal stamps mostly from Sweden. Their origin papers will be explained / revealed in a later post as I created a video to go with the papers but it’s not edited just yet. But I am sharing my seven postal matter collages today because they need to admired and seen.
Isn’t all the different brown papers, the creases and wrinkles, the transparency of some of the paper, the striped security liners, the vintage looking postal stamp… magnificent? I love these so much, and hope you do too.
I cut all my collages down to square format because I love that format for collage artwork. But this is how they started out, with lots of papers sticking out and glued spilling over the edge:
Some day I do want to create a series of “floating” collages like this, but not right now. I’m sticking with square and hope to be back next week with another “current week” of collages. Thanks for cheering me on.
Thank you so much for clicking over, taking a look and leaving me a comment below telling me which of these collages you like best – and why you like it. It means a lot to me and inspires me to keep going with collage. Take care.
Please also check out week 34 2013 and week 34 2018 (Invest for the Future).
About this project: I am making one collage for each day of the year in 2025 and blogging seven at a time each week here. I have created 365 artworks in a year thrice before so I am hopeful that I can do it again. I’d love to know which of these you like best – and why you like it. Thanks for helping me finish this by cheering me on. I appreciate you being here.

Yes yes yes
Very beautiful with those envelops and stamps, love them all!
Thanks Lou!
I love these! I’m just starting to collect the security envelopes with the different designs inside to use in my own pieces.
Stamps always add interest too.
Thanks Robin and good luck collecting envelopes with pretty patterns. I never get any happy mail these days, except from the swap that I host, and rarely anything official either so this kind of piles of someone else’s collecting is making my day.
Love these – I think this might be my favourite collection in your series so far!
Oh wow, thanks Rachel, that’s cool to know. Another fan of postal stamps I see. :-)
