I love the idea of making something and immediately sending it away to someone, for free, for fun. I usually take a day or less to make my cards and it suits my short attention span. It's very gratifying to hear that someone was both surprised and pleased by their small gift. I also like the occasional collaboration with other mail artists.

Hi Toni, Sure. Let's do it. Is your address on your profile? Mine is. Do you see it? If not, let me know and I'll send it. Looking forward to it :-) Margarete
Just received your latest card yesterday, as always it's awesome! I agree about the envelope, it's time to retire it. I'll have something in the mail to you soon. - Gail Anderson
Hey I like hearing your comments Toni! I also like discovering the layers of art works when I get one. By the way if "J's Letter" is one of your favorites, then it's definitely going to meet you soon!
Glad to see that you liked both the collage I made from the old envelope as well as the new one.
Sorry that I didn't answer you sooner, but I've been busy. My 16 year-old son left this morning to go on a trip with a group from his high school. Over the next few days, he will be going to Ireland, Scotland and England. I'm excited for him, but also a little nervous. This is the first time either of my two children have traveled outside the United States without me or their father.
You're welcome. A little bit of history for you! I sent out a series of five - I've got a bit hooked on working in fives! Have a lovely mail arty day :>)
yay! i'm glad they arrived! those are some of my fave ATCs i sent you. i've had to try to control myself and not order more from 100 proof press(at least not too soon). so much i'd like to have. and yes, the red arrow is a rubber stamp. well, an eraser stamp i carved actually.
That strange "paper" the envelope is made from was actually a piece of bathroom wallpaper from the 70's. A former yoga student of mine who knew I did collage saved it for me when redoing her bathroom. It had a repeat pattern that included a guy showering while wearing a snorkel, a claw foot tub w ferns growing beside it, a mermaid and other assorted oddities. I saved it in my flat file and am slowly using it up. I colored in the linoleum like squares w my favorite gold marker (the toxic one that smells so good). Ah what strange mail art compulsions I've developed! So nice to share w someone who appreciates the same craziness that makes us smile. May it all continue. Debra
Thank you so much for the Kliban #2 collage card with the Kliban cat and the line "and I fled New York...". Very nice! I received the card yesterday (April 13), but did not have the chance to thank you for the card until now. Have a Happy Easter! - Gail Anderson
Just wanted to let you know that you were correct about vellum not being the best thing to stick paper to. However, the card made it here intact, but the Kliban cat with the globe was a little loose. That wasn't a problem, I stuck it to the card with a little bit of tape and it looks just fine.
