I have had to wait so long for this.  If ever, in a hundred years, THEY dig in my cupboards, THEY will know that this is a genuine artifact.  Its asemic, poetic and authentic. Its Karen of course. Wrapping cardboard daggers in red thread, pasting  onto paper slabs. And the back says, Happy Birthday.

K.C. - SO great to see you again :-)…

I wonder if the Ether is like Camelot? I dont know, in the half light I thought I heard Lord Tennyson. The faintest of echoes in a winter sky.

"There she weaves by night and day

A magic web with colours -grey-

She has heard a whisper say,

A curse is on her if she stay

To look down to Camelot"

Like Free Falling I guess.

She tries…

Here is the art (but not the poem):

This is such a thought-provoking, mysterious, and visually appealing piece, by itself;  and here is a postcard she included that is related to the art and its concerns (and also to the epistolary poem I'm not at liberty to post because Theresa is having some accepted and some still considered for publication):

I recently received this wonderful watercolor from new member Judith HeartSong. The elegant-looking lion fits the noble history of the local carousel and I like it a lot.

Thank you very much…

I have been eyeing these works of Mim on IUOMA thinking how much I like them and now I have one all to myself, my first offering from Mim. The fat graphic line jags across the quiet little collage giving it a nice drawn asemic feel.... Thankyou Mim!

This card from Marni has a delicate tracery of bright acid green, with an image of a colonial looking building and drawing of flowers, it looks very tropically Malaysian! The words are from Marni's favourite author Haruki Murakami - "It's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky, between voyager and sea. Between the reality and the workings of the heart." Heart matters! Earlier this week I received another acid green work from Guido so it's been a very GREEN week...…

What can I say??? I am slowly gathering a great collection of Karen's beautiful little ATC cards, all beautifully made. This one's rich red colour is a delight! I need to display them somehow as they deserve to be seen all together..... Thankyou Karen!

My first mail art from Nancy and what a treasure! A little booklet FULL TO BURSTING with stamps,painting, and medical documents all held together with safety pins...and covered with Nancy's spidery scrawly handwriting. "Fragile" is stamped all over the Maine medical centre documents - hope that doesnt refer to our Nancy! I am very chuffed to be the owner of this great little book.... Thanks Nancy!…

When I saw Nancy's work featuring on several blogs I was hoping to receive something from her, and I didn't have to wait for a very long time, her first envelope arrived this week, lucky me.

Nancy dug up an old box full of of antique print blocks and stamps from her attic, check out her blog if you haven't seen it yet, it is very impressive. She started to use and…

I love the wonderful CAThedral!

Thanks…
