My first visit to my new P.O. box was not a disappointment, as I received this surprising piece of mail from Tammy Riggins. I remember commenting on her photo that the poem against the green background was beautiful--and she sent me a piece of it! I thought this was especially thoughtful. The face collage is simple and interesting, and the handmade envelope was…

This is the second envelope of art I have received from Moan Lisa/Maria Morisot. "Haunting" is the best word I can use to describe the work I receive from this artist. It is also extremely original.

This took a while to get here, but when I got it, it arrived in wonderful condition, thankfully. The envelope is handmade from some braille paper, border patterns, and paint. The card in the lower-right was inside the envelope. This is really beautiful stuff--both the envelope and the piece that was inside it are…

I got this collection of things from Samantha Althoff earlier this week. I love it all. The prints using dye-based inks are cool (at least that's what I think it is), the envelope is decorated with stamps of various types, and she also included a bunch of S&H…

Actually it came from Sarah Waldron in the UK. At first glance it has that Star Wars / Trek feel to it. However when you start getting into the details, I am drawn into it. Right now it sits on my desk and I turn it from side to side every once in a while. Yes I know that Sarah wants me to look at it this way, however it works well from which ever way you look at…

A reporter from western Australia, Christopher Lewis, interviewed me in 2013. He had used a piece of music I released using a Creative Commons license and was also interesting in talking my philosophy of releasing music in this way. The piece is called 'Sullivant'. This isn't about mail art specifically, but it is in the same spirit of collaboration and art as gift, which is of course very much in line with what mail art is about. Also, you can see what I look (and sound) like. I don't like…

As you know, the Sigean Standardisation Committe (SSC) has spent the last 5 years, months, days, weeks, minutes considering a possible revision to the size of ATC's , that is, at present, 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
The SSC has concluded that this size is way too small, and is recommending a larger size to be immediately adopted throughout the artistic community.
The new, revised size for ATCs is from now on 71 x 39…

My very first Waldon masterpiece. It's exciting to match the name to the work. Well actually there were two mail art pieces in the same envelope, but I can't spoil you all in one day. You'll have to wait until Saturday morning.
Also an add n'pass piece was enclosed. I'm not to good at add and pass as I never use an envelope. However I happen to be meeting another…

This was howling just outside my mailbox the other day,

Send from the USA on the 13th and received in the Netherlands at the 19th of August!!! Can you believe that? I wish all Mail Art had that speed. ;-) And in it was a teabag with the sentence "Sipping thoughts of peace, hope floats my way." The flavor? Moonlight Spice! I like to drink tea and will enjoy this thinking of Mercedes in New Mexico. The ATC also hit a favorite place,…

Two years in the making this little gem (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) finally washes up on the shore of Paris. I love the sparkles & the title.
Thank you Linda, you're one of a kind and so sweet.
