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

Thank you BG--I seem to have avoided most of the side effects upon opening.  Dan was kind enough to include a lens cleaning wipe to use if it burned my eyes out. also included is one of his bellydancer prints, some found garbage i'm assuming, an atc, a postcard, and a sheet of styrofoam I am assuming is to use to make a stamp out of.  but mandatory refills? how am I suppose to go about that?

At the first sign of dizziness, count to ten.  If you can do that, then you are ok!

love it BG! you must live by a school like me. i love finding homework. got some awesome french trashpo From Martha and a very cool envelope from Dan. I haven't opened it yet as there is so much to read and enjoy on the clear plastic envelope itself. Sides, it comes with  trepidatious warnings..may cause dizzeness , should be taken w lots of water, mandatory refills, may permanently stain contact lenses, take with food, may cause discoloration of the urine or feces, do not store in the bathroom and last but not best :  this does not contain any assurances that this product is safe, effective or appropriate for you.  That's an awfully flimsy promise to make risking all these side effects worth it. So now I'm way too paranoid to open it!!!! if i go the way of DVS please come look for me!!

Nice find, BG. Looks like a geography lesson. Master Gonzales has correctly shown the general locations of the Nile, the Tigris, the Yellow and the Ganges rivers.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on September 10, 2014 at 10:17am

Forgot to answer about the collaboration, Diane. One sunny day back in August, Strippygoose, Dean, who was visiting, Scott and I met in a pub in London and made art furiously. Then we took names out of a hat and each of us posted a number of postcards and you were one of the lucky ones!  There are some photos on my page. So the thing is that if any Mail Artist is in London and let Stripygoose or myself know we will arrange to meet at the Morpeth Arms near the Tate Britain (a gallery), in Millbank ( a road),  which is a very central place and they know us and do not mind the mess. They also have a ghost.

Advanced warning is appreciated.

Well they cannot sell the books because they have none but they are asking for copies so some renegade mail artist could send them one, let's hope not.

you never know when you are going to get that million dollar shot!

Ah yes...the liberties of our youth. Who knew you were wearing a minicam in that naval stud?
Comment by DKeys on September 7, 2014 at 1:51pm

wow Martha!! you are saying someone was trying to sell your book on Amazon at some point? That's awful but I guess that shows you how much they valued it? I only sell JB shopping lists on ebay, but all the profits go to me. I have a friend who discovered someone was selling her ATCs on ebay as their own.  sad really
