Wow, and this is the back of the card.  Excellent! When art was art, and a ride was a ride.

Thank you…

I can't figure out who you are, Linda! please respond if you see this and let me know--I feel really stupid for not knowing! Anyway, I LOVE THIS FLAG!!!! I love how tattered it is, and the sparkles, and of course the message! Thank you so much, whoever you are!…

Believe it or not, this is the back of the envelope Live Ed sent me! You can run your hand over it and feel every one of these terrific heavy black lines. I hope Dylan has seen this -- he would LOVE it!

The front of the envelope wouldn't upload, and it's…

How fabulous are these!!!!???? They are highly textured (paint, cloth, thread, postage stamps, text) highly layered, intricately thought out and crafted but still with an explosion of freedom. Amy, you were one of my very first inspirations in the Mail Art World and I'm so grateful for your…

In thanks for Pink Day Mail Art, TOFU sent me one of his great Haight cards, and FinnBadger, to thank me for Banana Day Mail Art, send (what else) BANANAS!

This is so lovely! I really like the Greek postage--they really have a way with color!

Here's a really nice sort-of czarist looking jewel collage from Irina. I like the irregularity and assymetry of it very much. And of course I can't begin to read the text but I like looking at it! Thanks, Irina.

This is the "front" side of David's PC -- for some reason the other side wouldn't upload to this site. I really love the ghostly flag/face images on the left side, superimposed over the "dark satanic mills" industrial picture on the right. Really nice work.

Speed blogging continues: RCBz has sent me a forest of great images, each with a through-line of anger at the sorry state of American politics. Of course, there's more to his work than that but that's what jumps out at me. I feel your pain, RCBz and thank you for sharing your precision smart bombs with me.…

Someone else never throws ANYTHING away :-)

Heleen sent a fat envelope full of many, many,many items...InSeine calls 'em "Mail Art Omens"...

good for trashpo DADA baggie boekies and other mail art creations!…

This wonderful little boekie (or three scrappers as Nancy like to call them) arrived two days ago. Good to see your work again, Nancy!! (So long, artist's block!)

Angelica sent me this clever collage along with some great letterpress ephemera. (at least I think it was from Angelica.) Thank you, Angelica.

And after a long hiatus:…

Katerina sent me this overstuffed envelope from Greece, containing two boekies, one chockful of images for a collage yet to be born. (I'll see what I can do). Thank you, Katerina.

How it all unfolded in not quite real…

Stripygoose's charming birds make a wonderful comedy! (with some help from Shakespeare, Stripygoose writes) The old matchbox works perfectly for this little boekie. Love it! Thank you so much, Stripy!…
