Hazel Jones - Trowel Shaped Postcard (Handle missing)

Hazel's trowel shaped card suffered in the postal system - the handle was sadly lost. Here we see a photo of it before- with it's handle still attached. Our address was on the handle too she says , so hopefully it will turn up! Read more about Hazel HERE.

Archie Leigh-Jones - Fret Saw Shaped Postcard

Archie's fretsaw arrived in a plastic bag but the fragile handle was still intact although slightly bendy. Good to see the post office peeps doing a good job on this occasion. Read more about Archie HERE.

Hazel Jones - Tin Snips (Shaped Postcard )

Some very nice hand painted , collage and rubber stamped tin snips all the way from Northwich. These made it through the postal system with just a mere bend at one end. Hazel is a metal worker and so these are very appropriate and would look at home in her shed or workshop.

Archie Leigh-Jones - Mug Shaped Postcard

Archie sent this from London. Not really a tool but at least it's a shaped postcard and one thing you would find in a shed. Cheers!

Georgie Stone - Collaged postcard (crimped edge)

Georgie in Canada has sent a fork image but on a regular shaped postcard. Forks do seem to be very popular. Perhaps something simple like a wood plane which is almost rectangular would be a better choice?

Jas W. Felter - Postcard shaped postcard.

Regular postcard from Jas in Canada. One would not be surprised to see an artistamp on Jas's postcard as that's what he's renowned for. I'm still hoping some people might be brave enough to send a "tool shaped" postcard and test the postal system. Check out the postcard projects with HANDS and FEET to get the idea. This is the kind of thing that I had no trouble with back in the noughties.
