This awesome art has gone unblogged too long.  For that, I would like to issue a formal apology to the members of IUOMA, you deserved to see this back in 2015 when it arrived.  Stripygoose sent a wood grained floor tile to me through the mail.  Without even an…

It is my firm belief that Richard Baudet is a wonderful influence on the world of mail art.  He is forever dazzling us with beautiful, classic paintings on envelopes which he embellishes with perfect calligraphy.  Here is the latest example I received from him this past week, and it's just gorgeous.  This is the type of flattering and beautiful gift that I love to put up on my…

One can only wonder what goes on in the Stafford household.  I just keep looking at this one and shaking my head.  What a mind blower. What further instruction…

     This tiny tiny mail art card arrived from Greece undamaged with the plastic heart still attached.  Luckily it didn't fall into the hands of Alan Brignull.  http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/alan-brignull-a-book-with-no-name

More undies from Mars. Great postage stamps tie this all together. 

I wish I could do this!

Angie's hyena (her favorite animal) is a hand-made print. The Tasmanian Tiger is hand-painted. So talented!

These kitties look very nervous -- too much maté? She also sent some photographs, perhaps of herself? Very lovely and oh so young!…

Angie's envelope is worth a blog post all it's own! Love the little donkey--and I'm crazy about maps! And her artistamp is gorgeous!

I'm not sure if this is a handmade print or if it's painted -- either way it's very lovely. The bird (I'm guessing a magpie) is so lanky and rumpled looking. Beautiful red prints and black what-do-you-call-em's -- would those be glyphs -- I'm not too sure of the terminology. Anyway, I like…
