I think we can see the big picture now.

Thank you…

Jude Weirmeir sent me quite a few Opus' while I was in Maine and these four are the latest four I've looked at a little deeply.  To see all four parts to this mailing and read what I think about them: …

Herman Kamphuis, The Postal Voyageur, AKA Herkalux is one of my most loyal correspondents and is certainly one of the most generous too. I love to receive his big fat envelopes.  To look inside of this one look here: …

Fantastic collage in from stripygoose.

Elsa von Freytag-loringhoven, long dead, sent me this instructional manual on how not to draw a cat as well as an invitation to friend this jolly Brooklyn realtor (done and done). Elsa's quotes are reprinted here for the benefit of those who, like me, have trouble seeing: "Why isn't Santa Fe in Arizona?" A very good question, Elsa and one I'm looking into.…

Number nine, Number nine, Number nine.  Sound like a Beatles song!  Well at first I thought this was from Katerina as she can never throw away the stamp leftovers. …

I liked how it turned out for the most part though I look more like a hunch-backed Freddy Krueger than I'd like. (My stylist gave me bad instructions.) Anyway, just before I got the assignment I had scanned this wonderful old illustration from a 1937 Popular Mechanic magazine. Suddenly it all clicked. However, in order to make the illustration come alive I had to invest $34 in a…

Remember that old song: South of Waitpinga? Me neither. Vizma sent me this highly caffeinated envelope which I was afraid to open for two days. Finally I got up the courage…

Yes, friends, it's true...she has stolen my…

Paulo Bruscky is a pioneer mail artist in Brazil.  He's been working since, I believe, the 60's.  He's active to this day and I was thrilled to receive this card from him.  I was sent in March 2011.…

Svenja sent this amazingly generous boekie filled with her witty collages and all wrapped in an old Kodak picture folder from Tacoma, Washington. That's like gold inside of gold. Thank you so much, Svenja.…

Wasn't it Gertrude Stein who said: "An artist in Seine lives mainly on the Plein"? Maybe not. Anyway, here is our Paris correspondent's latest offering. The caption reads "The Vallée-Francaise seen from Col. Saint-Pierre." That's Col. St. Pierre in the foreground though he may need to turn to see the best view of the Vallée. Thank you,…

A girl, a bird and a postage stamp.



Front of the book cover that has been collaged on. The big white circle is an embossing of Laurence's address. My scanner couldn't pick it up very…

Thank you Jack.  It all looks much clearer…
