Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

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

 The kid used the image of bulls being "Horny" It;s amazing how people write in "text" language on paper and in person , not just on the computer. Pretty soon they'll be "sexting"  for population control

Kat-it all came together in such a cohesive way, i wouldn't have guessed that. I love the cross-pollination of trash!

'Glad the trashpo boekie arrived in Elgin, DK! Many of those bits and pieces were sent to me by Mim, and PrettyLily, and NBS, and Theresa...JMB, of course. I collect...never throw away. AACK! Now to send it all in-the-mail ;-)

WARNING:  the following contains questionable material which could potentially offend someone.  Found this today by the middle school (13 and 14 year old students 7th and 8th grade). Thought it was funny-particularly ironic that it's misspelled

Spanakopita Trashbook from Kat!!  This book is larger than others I have seen yet still have such a dreamy effect. I now have my own JBennett shopping list to sell (maybe to NBS?). the Bangor Beef receipt is 'official' trashpo she tells me-what a great find. Lots of chocolate and candy wrappers that don't appear to come from Germany, and my favorite thing is a 6 of wands Tarot card. This signifies joy and success and this great trashbook conveys both things--thank you Kat!! haven't reaceived or made a trashbook in awhile so it was great to have one to hold and languish in

Neil Gordon made a great Prayer Flag out of trash I mailed him.

Beautiful trash poetry in your little boekie, Svenja! wow!

And, Diane, that "bauble" is an ornament not glass?) that Dean

tried to send WITHOUT an envelope???? Maybe it is plastic, as it bounced off the counter once when he had to get his money and all the coins fell, too. Imagine where it has bounced around between Paris, France and Elgin, Illinois (which is the Paris-of-the-Midwest as everyone knows)!

Sure looks great "cracked", nice shadows and forms. But three

weeks to deliver...must have sat for quite a while on the PostMaster's desk ;-)
