Mail-art by IUOMA member Karen Champlin (Chicago, Illinois, USA)

April 2, 2011 - In an earlier blog I jokingly referred to spring lines in the work of mail-artists. Maybe new lines are serious. As springtime arrives…

Dank my friend!…

The Windmills collaborative book has lost Angie and the Snooks for a little while, but I am really happy that they were able to make it back, this chapter is a great addition to the project. Neat and delicate with wonderful green tones on a black background, and a very original window where the circles of your mind are spinning silently in space.

Another great surprise in my mail box when I came back to Tokyo. Cheryl is sending me a large piece of violeen vylene (thank you Lesley), which has a texture that lies somewhere in-between paper and fabric, very interesting.

Fellow countryman JF Chapelle is sending me a nice message of support, printed on a page from a stamp catalogue. I know JF's work mostly from De Villo's blog and I always found it cool (I signed up for IUOMA about the time of the Fix My Shoe mail exchange, and that was probably my first of many IUOMA laughs). Hmm, I wonder which part of the vacuum cleaner I'm in right now. I would say quite deep down where the dust bag is located :-))
