"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 DKeys on October 11, 2011 at 2:04pm: Great trashpo-mail from Richard Canard, Torma Cauli, and Lisa Iversen

I put this piece from Richard as trashpo, because he always uses food packaging for his mail art. This was on the back of a Lemon Sorbet box.

Torma's mail art is a nice combination of digital and trashpo and Lisa's Moontrash is so elegant it's hard to believe she found this. She must have sanded down this rusty can but it really does look like a pearlescent flower.

I love all of these pieces!!

Comment by DKeys on October 7, 2011 at 1:41pm: Festive Halloween Trashbook from Theresa for the Halloween Ball taking place over at the Tombstone group worth checking out. Thanks Theresa I think you have a great idea to limit the book to four pages as otherwise it becomes very hard to post everything!
