"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 11, 2012 at 7:25pm: ah, especially the slate! [Used it in my metalwork in the past - beautiful texture!]

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 11, 2012 at 7:23pm: O, the red shoe is just great Ana [thanks for the clue Vizma!]

@Dean - great work!!

Comment by Lynn Radford on May 11, 2012 at 7:11pm: OMG! A&S, thanks for pointing out the road kill! I was rolling just now!

You guys have been great about my 3 dimensional mail ignorance! Thanks to all who posted! DKalamity has been neutralized! :D

Comment by Alicia Starr on May 11, 2012 at 6:54pm: Mail and dash is the way to go, esp. if you can get your hands on a postage scale. sort of off the topic: just saw a sign this week advertising a food drive for Letter Carriers.

Kat, i marvel how Dean's mailings come in pristine condition across the big pond.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on May 11, 2012 at 6:43pm: Dean has sent many things without an envelope...

rubber bands:

the Eiffel Tower in the mail :-) Twice...

once it got knocked off

He sent a CD with attached "sculpture", it got knocked off too :-(

Comment by Lynn Radford on May 11, 2012 at 5:12pm: Kool beans, Dean! Thanks for posting these! :D I now have DKourage to try some "Bold Mail and Dash" of my own! :D I loved the Normandy Beach Sand tribute... Did it travel well? I would've been afraid the baggie would rip open in transit!

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on May 11, 2012 at 3:35pm: OK it is blogged on the main page. Roll over and beg!

Comment by DKeys on May 11, 2012 at 2:19pm: Dean, I hope you'll post the tp roll art you sent me

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on May 11, 2012 at 2:15pm: Vizma, the phone was mounted on cardboard. The slate was mounted on beer mat, or was it beer mats mounted on the slate? Lots of mounting you know.

This one I never heard if it made it: (Seem for the first time here)
