Technically, it's a wire. When people send me hand-made cards and envelopes, they get attached to the wire with a tiny magnet. Seeing the cards and envies makes me smile and adds color to the studio.
After the cards have been displayed for awhile or I run out of magnets for new things, the cards/envies are saved in binders. I bring them into class for students to look through to show what can be done with hand-lettering, rubber stamping, collage and to give them ideas for their own artwork.

That's a nice display idea! Have a lovely week, Valerie
Keeping them to show your students is a brilliant idea! You're so smart! :)
😊
You just made this a two cowboy hat day for me. 🤠ðŸ¤
Great idea for a display.
I found the wire at Paper and Ink Arts several years ago. It’s perfect for my little space
Brilliants ideas!
So great to see your cards for awhile CJ !! And I think it´s a very good idea to keep them in binders, I have to save mine in binders too, because now they are in a box.
I wish you a very nice new week, and send big hugss

Aw, they look great hanging like that.
😊
The binders hold a lot and makes looking at the treasures easier
I was happy when I saw the wire in the Paper and Ink Arts Catalog
Great way to display art - you must get a lot of mail. I would look forward going to the p.o.box if i was getting surprises. for me it's just ads and a few bills. pretty boring, lol
That's a nice way to display your happy mail. And smart idea to use it for class. Hope it was a happy Monday.
I’ve gotten some pretty cool stuff along with the boring ads and bills
It was a perfect weather day for me
I think this is a brilliant idea. Rotating art is wonderful, too. I love what you accomplished and it's great that you are sharing them with students so they see what mixed media is all about, including calligraphy.
Bet the kids love the inspiration. Our teachers worked strict to the plan, except for my English-teacher.
I teach adult classes at an art museum so the lesson plans are up to me and not teaching to a curriculum.
A lot of times I hear I can't draw, I can't art so having the examples to share shows students, yes, you can.
I like your ideas here :)
All the best Jan
