The Three Muses' theme this week is mail art. I have made a couple of my ancestors, Ben Rhea and Mrs. Sallie Rhea (related, but not sure how), into postage stamps. The embossed background was done using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The writing is a freebie from Rein.
What a wonderful idea to use family photos in your piece. They look very fine indeed xx

Faye, I love your elegantly beautiful piece of mail art, especially those wonderful, original stamps. It's a pity we are not celebrities because there are now TV series here in Australia and also in the UK called "Who do you think you are?" where well known people are taken on a journey of discovery to find their roots, no matter what country they have to travel to or how many genealogists they have to employ. I love watching for the unexpected answers they sometimes receive. It would be nice to find out how Ms Rhea is related to Mr Rhea.
