September Challenge Day 24
It is often difficult to find a reference photo that gives exactly what you want so you have to improvise.
The reference for this 5 x 7 card was a photo of an almost pristine mailbox that I found on the internet. I wanted something pitted by stones, battered by time and rusted by weather. I am pretty happy with the look I achieved although I think this piece looks better in person.

ReplyDeleteThey are being replaced here but the old ones will probably stay until they rot and fall down. I guess they are an invention of North America.
