"I think that is a sweet idea, Diane, but perhaps not trash art, mostly the world is not ready for it I 'm afraid and could give Esther  a shock."

Letter to Esther

Posted on May 18, 2013 at 3:07pm 19 Comments

I found this empty addressed envelope yesterday. I would like to send her a letter explaining that I found it so as not to appear like a stalker. If anyone would like to contribute to a random letter to her to see how her life is going, please write or post what you would like to say and I will create a collaborative piece to send.…

Stick a Bird On It from Angie

Posted on May 17, 2013 at 8:28pm 6 Comments

Angie and I both love the show Portlandia. In one fabulous episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo)

they find a crafty way to craftify things. This mail art made me laugh out loud. It's an excellent piece without the birds too. Thank you!…

I'm so happy to see the boomerang again. I'm going to give it a bit of thought on how to shock it up a bit. Or maybe not, but I'll try. Gloves off now, little postcard!

Love what you are showing on your blog.

I will send another missive in the meantime just to keep the PO Going..

Happy Thursday.

Hello Diane! Hope you're having a good Wednesday. I got your trash quilt postcard today. I think I noticed some Mexican Wrestlers. Maybe I'm right. Thanks a million.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the collaged holiday card. You're never too early in getting your Merry Jolly cards out; why wait until December? Send 'em early, send 'em late, send them around the world and to the moon. Mail on . . . k.

Your picture totally sticks out. A thrift shop find would have fitted in very well! Maybe next time submit it in a big fat thrift shop gold frame.

Hey, Diane, I looked at the link, and at the bottom right there is a slideshow. I spotted a collage (RAIN) which could be yours. Did you see that?

Diane, I'm so glad you liked it...that was a fun one to create...so many different aspects....and it all came together quite swimmingly which may sound like bragging but its more about the distance between how I envisioned it and how it came out was the shortest on record. Check out the video...

Hello. Happy to hear you got my envelope and the trashpo kit. I'm all for cheap dates, nothing beats a cheap bottle of wine and leftovers! Trashpo kits are rolling out nationwide.
