A few days ago, I received this great mail art from Ottmar!

La carta velo è una carta per restauro di dipinti ed affreschi di 4 gr. al mq.

La carta velo accoppiata è una tecnica che io utilizzo per inserire i petali o altri frammenti di carta dipinta.

The paper is a veiled light paper, paper for the restoration of paintings and frescoes of 4 gr. per qm.

The paper veil paired (two sheets, a pair of sheets) is a technique that I use to make the petals or other pieces of painted paper.

Well, the wow factor just isn't in the project I started last weekend towards a first artistamp. I put up a virtual sheet in our Photos, just to get a better idea how they'd look on screen, but it didn't fly.

I'm beginning to wonder how to get that fresh-looking perforated edge--in a sheet form as well as in singles.

While it can be helpful using PSE8 for this application, and even part way successful at the look I'm going for, that elusive edge seems a far distant…

I don't mean to brag (well, only a little bit), but I am still (no matter what some people might think) the number one mail art psychic in the house. A couple of weeks ago as I saw the picture of a monkey stealing Katerina's sandpaper on De Villo's blog, I predicted that some sandpaper monkey mail art would turn up very soon. Not only did it turn up, but it turned up in my…

Today's Mail Call here at the Studio is really wonderful, full of surprises, and just plain delightful.

We've finally been able to see what we are to expect upcoming, and our eyes are quite happy. While any of us not local have to wait and view it all here in Photos, let's just say, we know they'll be thrilled. 

At first sight, Val's colorful brochure conversion Postcard had us thinking we had entered his secret world. So much bold color! It gave a jump to the adrenaline. :)…

Bone (n.) 1. The dense, semirigid, porous, calcified connective tissue forming the major portion of the skeleton of most vertebrates. It consists of a dense organic matrix and an inorganic, mineral component.

One fine day a mad but oh so talented woman in South Africa decided to make a book of bones. This has to be one of the greatest books ever…

Mail-art by IUOMA member Atte Ourie (Helsinki, Finland)

February 20, 2011 - Could there be a mail-artist more mysterious than Atte Ourie? These colorful cards are appearing across the globe. (Finland is finding a place on the…

I am the very lucky owner of two Ithaca/Itaca booklets. You remember the first one by Katerina Nikoltsou, pamphlet of paper and sand. This one is from Alfonso Filieri and I was equally blown away when I opened the envelope.

Alfonso's work with paper is just amazing. Crumples and scratches and subtle layers of wax give so much depth to an already beautiful thick…
