Thank you, Carl!

Mail art by IUOMA member Joey Patrickt (Oakland, California, USA)

October 2, 2016 - No limit is placed upon the number of entries an artist can send to the Karnival of Trash exhibition. I have…

Here's a Greek Dada Trashpo boekie MomKat started -- then I think it came to me and Heleen, then back to Mom, then finally to me. I don't think we can fit any more stuff on or it it, so it and all its lovely "omens" are staying in Oregon at least for a while. I…

What a great image, the poor soul with a huge goose hanging around his neck! And Gail says the "Do not demand" is from a fortune cookie. Wise advice! Maybe ignored by the poor schlump with the goose! Thanks Gail! And, we re-used the much worn envelope once…

Wow, I can't even count the ways I love this piece. The torn and "aged" painted paper is beautiful. I love all the bits of language around the edges, and then the central image is just fantastic.

The scanner did not like the neon on the front…

J.A.D.'s 'Istanbul'--mysterious, lovely, seems to belong with Jan's soft beautiful circles card. The small dots are raised, and I love the almost readable text background. Great colors in both pieces. Thanks!

This peachy summery goodness was sent back in 2015.  It came like a breath of fresh air on the mail.  Katerina must have guessed that fruit is my favourite food.  She's sent me some watermelon once: …
