If congratulatory postcard is simply
obligated to gladden eye, then it is difficult to name usual post envelope the
work of skill. The same, who wants to see by its same, undertake paints, India
ink or felt-tip pen and give the complete will of fantasy.
In the West this form of creation had long ago been
gotten accustomed and acquired the kept balance name - meyl-art (mail art). Obtains any overseas
John pis'metso in this adorned konvertike - and it cannot see enough, tone
rises, on the soul of bird they sing... However, why only overseas? Our also
not by bast sheet rubber! For example, well-known Yoshkar-Ola artist Ivan
zemtsov literally fell in love himself with meyl-art and already reached in it
the influential successes (about which in its time wrote “MP”). But recently it
planned in this direction new project.
Its name - “Alyonka”. Dada, for the basis undertook the face from that most
famous shokoladki, who even to the market epoch became one of the Russian
brands (on the level with the matryoshka and the balalaika). Selection is not
by chance. Assume that in the country the complete overestimation of values
occurred, but it is as before difficult to keep balance before the charm of
tiny little girl! Not only to frivolous sweet teeth, but also to serious, in
general, people - artists...
First Ivan itself fantasized with the envelopes on the theme “of Alyonkas” and
ascertained that it was not exhausted. Then it called call among the friend-
associates (but they in it be sufficient also in Russia, and abroad): be
joined!
Perhaps, most active proved to be the members of creative group “screen”from
perhaps, most active proved to be “With Alyonka” “fell ill” other artists,
including foreign (from France, Belgium, Italy and USA). Even now its touching
means of zapechatlen on tens of envelopes! And they are designed in most varied
manner.
However, project continues, and to pouchastvovat' in it can all desiring. It is
in no way compulsory to be professional, it is possible even instead of the
pencil and the brush to be armed by scissors and by glue, cutting out and
arranging the pleased pictures. The main thing - so that it would come out
entertaining and originally. And it is still important to soblyudat' the laws
of meyl-arta. Creation is considered final, if envelope passed mail, i.e., it
was supplied with brands (locating them, desirable to follow general
composition) and by all assumed stamps.
