Marina Cicero - Postcard In Envelope
Not a shaped postcard but a nice drawing/collage/rubber stamping of scissors and a broom? Not sure what that is. Useful for sweeping up the collage clippings!

Angie Naron - Wellie Boot Shaped Postcard
Yet another from Angie in Chicago. I suppose the boot is a kind of tool and they are found in sheds of course. Much needed at this time of year too with all the rotten weather we have been having!
Jas W. Felter - Envelope/artistamps
This time the prolific Jas has sent a large envelope with two artistamps - one for "Tools For The Shed" and the other a homage to sadly recently demised mail artist E.F.Higgins.

Angie Naron - Grass Roller Shaped Postcard
We were ouzzled by this one at first but then delved a little deeper and saw that it was a lawn roller. Probably best kept outside the shed! Angie in the USA added some nice collage touches. Read more about her HERE.

Linda Merriman - Sewing Machine Shaped Card
Delightful take on the theme from Linda in rural Wales. Her "Women's Shed" is all kitted out with Vulcan sewing gear, bunting, cats , dogs, chickens and even a sailing ship fleet "on the wild accountancy" ! The sewing machine even has thread running from the spool to the needle - genius! Read more about her HERE.

Hoorah! A great addition to the TOOLS FOR THE SHED shaped postcard project just turned up from Vittore Baroni. It's franked too which makes a nice change. It also cleverly opens and shuts by means of a pin holding the two parts together - brilliant! Read more about him HERE.
