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

Only problem, Rebecca, is that it takes too much time and energy. In addition to preparing my "just Mail Art" exhibit that opens next month, I am having a hard time finding time, energy and space to make art!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 26, 2014 at 8:24pm

Sorry, I cannot get this idiotic devise to open the line of tabs above the comments box to add a graphic and hit the Add tab by mistake. I wanted to say what a wonderful find Dan, fantastic good luck. And add my effort but it will have to wait.

WONDER Trash! We are doing a renovation of the kitchen in our 110-yr-old house. After removing the cabinets, these bits were found sandwiched between the cabinets and the original wainscot. A big old sign advertising Wonder Rolls and Snoballs.

Great package of trashpo Diane, thanks, it will go  up on the door with the August show, in September.  It makes sense in a weird way, I have to  wait for all the August mail. Say thank for me to Princess Tigerlilly Emerald, what a superb name. I shall tackle the font as soon as poss, and hope I remember  how to do it, I already dug up my antdiluvian PC with windows XP, it works still, oh miracle.

A fat envelope from Diane Keys is always welcome in my mailbox

And inside the envelope is, of course, a veritable trove of trashpo-making ephemera, all exhibiting the discriminating taste of the master of the medium, DK!

Inside the fat envelope was yet another fat, albeit tiny, envelope. This one appears to be my first of what could be an ongoing subscription to the TrashPo of the Month Club. And note the seal that identifies the collection date and provenance of the treasures inside and authenticates the goodies inside as collections by DK herself!!! Priceless!!!

I must rise to the challenge and create world-class TrashPo from these unique gleanings

I am glad Borderline Grafix has blogged the superb magazine. I was wondering how to show it in my front door. somehow I shall. When there is a will there is a way they say.

Trashpoets should be receiving their DKULTNY Trashpo Fanzines. I sent to contributors & chapters outside the USA first. Others are still going out & will do as many as my postage & ink cartridge budget will allow. Thanks to Borderline Grafix for blogging so all can have a look!
