rec'd from Carina Granlund - Winter 2016

I received my first piece of mail from Carina, and it is an amazing and inspiring work. I have on occasion made some books, but I have not done it in a while, and I have never made a book quite like this. When I received this piece, it made my day.

I got SOMETHING FUNNY in the mail from Stripygoose in 2015

This awesome art has gone unblogged too long.  For that, I would like to issue a formal apology to the members of IUOMA, you deserved to see this back in 2015 when it arrived.  Stripygoose sent a wood grained floor tile to me through the mail.  Without even an…

Beach & Trees painting from Richard Baudet

It is my firm belief that Richard Baudet is a wonderful influence on the world of mail art.  He is forever dazzling us with beautiful, classic paintings on envelopes which he embellishes with perfect calligraphy.  Here is the latest example I received from him this past week, and it's just gorgeous.  This is the type of flattering and beautiful gift that I love to put up on my…
