Vispo by IUOMA member Jim Leftwich (Roanoke, Virginia, USA)

October 20, 2015 - I conclude the documentation of the phenom mail art package Jim Leftwich sent me with more spectacular vispo. This opening piece (above) is a superb…

in today's mail delivery...'just took a while to get here,

but this beautiful envelope was in my mailbox this morning.

Well worth the wait, as inside, Tammy did a beautiful print, paint, collage card:…

Spin the wheel in Brussels, win a road trip with Sébastien Loeb! Thank you…

A priceless and very rare accordion-style boekie! Thank you E…

Amy Irwen's postcard size work features plastic mesh & textile stitching along the right edge. Dated 09.21.15. The upper corner dolphin (from Sea World, as noted on the back) jumps above the card. Although seemingly untitled & bearing the phrase "The Monster Lives" along the bottom, I refer to this work as "Dolphin Boy". "Unlock…

I had no idea this was coming.  It arrived nicely packaged in a hand made wrapping, which I love.  I didn't want to tear the wrapping, but trust me, the paper was sturdy, blue and white stripe.  Too tempting not to recycle at some point, but for the moment I just like to look at it.  The card itself was a wonderful execution of recycled cardboard, various paints (I guess possibly both acrylic and enamel) Tissue was layered on and then more paint. It's an inspiring piece. Mille grazie…

Totally unexpected an intricate post card from the lovely Dee in South Africa.  What a delight to receive this Dee.  I've spent quite a bit of time figuring out the order of all the wonderful layers.  Of course I'd like to be your friend. Mail art going out in y…

I send Katerina  some circles and the clever girl sent me back some artwork with a few of the circles I sent her. I always look forward to opening mail from her.

Thank you Katerina. Expect something in the mail soon from me. 

  Grethe H. Bjornhaug, send me this beautiful postcard.  I remember the day I found it in my mailbox.  It was a gloomy, overcast day.  I was so tired and all I wanted to do was sit down and not move.   Grethe, please know it arrived in excellent condition.  I love looking at it over and over again.  Mail art will be going out to you tomorrow.

Thanks again for your wonderful card.…

Bonjour!

I play (badly) rock'n'roll guitar.

I play (slightly better) the alto recorder.

In France, the recorder is known as the 'flu(^)te à bec'. [The ^ is supposed to go over the u, but I can't seem to manage that].

There is another type of flu(^)te, a 'flu(^)te traversière'. This is a flute -- the type of flute that Wolfgang Amadeus obviously had in mind when he wrote 'The Magic Flute' opera ('obviously' because he didn't mess around with…

They were being sent out like hot cakes and arriving all over the world.  However, that time has now come to a close and this is the Last of the Red Hot Canvas'.…

Actually I never thought the radioactive machine worked very well in the first place.  As Marie Curie discovered, it had some leaks, and made the pasta glow.  Which was cool at first, but eventually everyone got tired of eating pasta in the dark.

Earth to Marie, Earth to Marie, Thank you for this mail…

Well that is the first title that came to mind when I opened my mailbox. What a great surprise by getting something out of the blue, or should I say…

Porcelain Art ....(.China)   has been my passion since 1988.    I have owned  an Art Shoppe and have sold hundreds of my paintings and Porcelain works.

Recently I have been dabbling in all types  of art ,  using much of my knowledge doing  Collage and Mixed Media,  just for fun............it really allows your…
