Seasonal metaphor - from David Stafford

Spring is a bit sad on this side of the lawn, and it is well known that sadness unleashes all kinds of metaphors. This one is by Liu Tsung-yuan and translated by... Mitzi Gaynor? You mean Mitzi Gaynor the dancer? :-)) Who would have thought?!...

Thank you David, nice combination of text and illustration! And funny as usual...…

Haptic Werewolf goes Metallic

Got this haptic card from Erni. It doesn't show in the picture, but it is silver. I think Lucky Lucy is the actual Rocket, but I'm not sure. Thank you Ernie!

Text Collage from KDJ

I love this collage with the muted colors and so many different layers of text. She sent me "happy hints for a safe and enjoyable summer" such as what to do in case you are in a stampede of bulls and what to do if you come across a bee hive. Thank you KDJ!

Trashpo direct from Helen Amye's Studio

The pic doesn't do it justice, but amazingly this postcard made of handmade paper, arrived completely in tact. As she said, if it had gotten banged up it would only have enhanced it as it is trashpo. There are asemics in here and a little bit of everything. Everything on top looks like what you would use to make handmade paper. Thank you…

David Stafford's Wild Life and beautiful drawing

Clean simple lines and a watercolour wash make this a very pleasing image! I like it a lot.

And the wildlife in David's garden is far more interesting than the monkeys in our KwaZulu gardens... his water buffalo lives near the birdbath.

Thankyou…

New mail-Art: Mail call Day 5/18/11

Hello everybody.

I am just wowed every time I find more IUOMA mail-art in our Studio's PO Box come Mail Call Day. This is truly a fascinating group of people.

This time out, there are several artists from our ranks whose works it is my pleasure to post here, and who certainly deserve a round of applause. One of these is Valentine Mark Herman, whose latest work came to the Studio mailbox during a flurry of activity, and thus had to wait. Today's bright grouping fits well with…

Binding Project 26 - IUOMA Collaborative Mail Art Project.

The Day had finally arrived. Project 26 was to be bound. After nearly six months, all the chapters were to find a home - together, in once place. Lesley and Lauriana joined me and the first three copies of this limited edition book are now complete.

MANY thanks to all the artists involved in this project. It was a long haul, not without its ups and downs, but the results - SO worth it!! As described by De Villo in the introduction - we have "witnessed artists from around the globe…
