I took my winged envelopes outside for a test flight today. I like how one idea can lead to another and then to another.

This is so cool! I really love this kind of creativity and the placement of objects where you don't expect them; those winged envelopes look like they are in perfect harmony with their surroundings. Lovely.

I like how your one idea led to another too....

You are AMAZING

This was true inspiration and so original.

Wow Susanna. I though these were great pinned to the wall but you have taken them to a whole new level here. Creative, whimsical, humorous, surreal, and just plain cool!

Amazing creativity.

:) Love this! They're really winging their way, carrying small whispers of love and delightful nothings. I love receiving letters in the post, I need to write some soon. And have them grow wings - how do you do it? xoxo

did they actually fly to that spot, or were they creatively placed there?

I love your creativity but above all I love POesy in your art

This is an amazing image and so you. I love your winged envelopes what a wonderful idea.
How did you make them? I would love to see them in person...or winged envelope, as it were.

Posted by: Mo'a | March 21, 2008 at 08:46 AM

I love this idea. It reminds me a bit of Anselm Keifer's flying palettes. The art taking flight..the words going away from us. Just lovely.

Posted by: Lorie | March 21, 2008 at 08:48 AM

Realy amazing!
We'll have a long weekend here but I'll be on my duty..I hope you will have a good time!Happy Easter!

Hi Susanna, thanks for stopping by my blog. When I saw your images a song by Nina Simone came to mind, "Feeling Good". You should look for it on Itunes...I think you'll like it...

And Susanna Responds...Donna, Nina Simone is wonderful and I have watched her live performances on itunes. Feeling Good is one of my favourites. She was such a powerful performer, wasn't she? Her voice still is...

Posted by: Donna | March 21, 2008 at 11:04 AM

These are quite marvelous! I wonder what the messages say? They are so inviting and feel like a blessing ... Happy Easter, Susanna!

Susanna!!!
These winged envelopes, how they have 'flown' out into the field!!

The envelopes are beautiful on their own, on the wall and make an amazing installation!

Posted by: stephanie | March 21, 2008 at 11:09 PM

So cool! Love the installation feel of your flying envelopes out in the field...

Posted by: Liz | March 23, 2008 at 01:52 PM

It makes you dream of far away places, where only little envelopes can reach. Lovely!

Wonderful pictures, full of poetry and lightness. I really love the mix of tones and colors.
