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

Interesting...I've been putting the fish in my book-forms [pages are glassine envelopes] for a few months now...must have felt some vibe...? &_^

I got the most amazing Mother's Day card from Gertie, Artie, KDJ, and anyone else at IOUMA with iniitials. Although it greatly disturbs me that Artie forgot to cross his "T", it does not take away the touching nature of this card. I will not soon forget this and it is my first year to be the mother of Dkult.

I love these things. They helped me to decide where to live (it was between Illinois and India) AND whether to pursue mail art as a hobby or toy trains

Comment by DKeys on May 4, 2012 at 10:18pm

KDJ points out the irony that they managed to spell quantum physics perfectly

Maybe they were inventing their own language? I like their words much better than boring English:  Bridal Furhorse? Glass Botowl? I so want to live in their world

This just came through the DKult Faxline. Apparently KDJ found this cryptic message disguised as a random list. There is a hidden message in here, just like Dean's cork/bottle series, but we can not crack it. I think it reveals the combination to the DKult safe containing the sacred peace blanket.

'Love the little easels, Sarah! Glad it arrived, you may use the "trashpo" stuff and recycle it into new mail art ;-) Make-at-your-own-pace!

You don't "owe" anything...that you posted it that it arrived is more than enough! 

Neil, 'love that 45 rpm adapter in your  profile pic...makes me think of 50's juke box music!

Comment by Neil Gordon on May 3, 2012 at 4:25pm

Sarah, Blue Trashpo, sounds like an old jazz song!

Comment by Neil Gordon on May 3, 2012 at 4:24pm

Diane: i have sent you the psychic pastoral cleanse and a recovery of the soul, your dumpster should now have no more messages!(Maybe an empty can of spaM)- I like Neil/Dew drop! Sounds like a letter from "SARK" Please let me know if i can be of any service to ya!

Comment by Sarah Churchill on May 3, 2012 at 4:15pm

Some 'Blue Trashpo' arrived this morning - thank you Katerina! I owe you SO MUCH mail art!!

Comment by DKeys on May 3, 2012 at 1:45pm

Neil/Dew Drop, my aura has accumulated quite a bit of trash-could you please do a soul retrieval/cleanse on me? psychic debris does not make good trashpo. We have to create from a place of dumpster emptiness. Once we free the mind, we free the hands to create. From nothingness, comes somethingness.
