At last, here it is, the Amy Special.  But it didn't arrive this was.  It took hard work and lots of money to pull this one off. First the money.  A whooping $13.50 to send this to Paris.  To put this in real USA terms, that's the same as buying two Whooper Meals…

I've been researching mail art blogs for the past several weeks. Many of the sites I've found are a bit too abstract for my taste and ability but found a happy medium at Paper Tams (http://www.papertams.com/). I just learned that she will be conducting a free Mail Art class at the Miami Pen show.

I sent out this little boekie to 4 folks who'd joined the Oregonians group: Terry Ownby, Maryann Battaglia, Finley Union, and Pairie Kittin, who is an Oregonian Emeritus because she's moved across the river to Vancouver, Wa. I love the things everyone did to it!…

Thank you Toni

I think this might be my first mail art piece received from Mike Dyar of San Francisco. Anyway, it was a little bit startling and wondrous to receive in my post box. It's very minimalist—a testament to what one can do with a simple shingle of corrugated cardboard—and yet...sort of holds significance for me.

That little blue…

I love how this wonderful book by Frieder arrived in a very modest envelope. The surprise was all the greater when I found what was inside: an accordion-style book with hard covers, size:13 x 16cm, monoprinting, drawings and poems (written on a typewriter). Love it!…

Super cool self-made envelope arrived from Carina Granlund in Finland, filled with cute and humorous fare. She included two newspaper comic strips from a Scandinavian newspaper. They appear to be annotated with dates (1956 and 1957) so perhaps they are clippings from a more classic era of cartooning!…
