Puzzle envelopes - from Ahmet Demir



There's nothing like Ahmet's envelopes, they are just amazing. I can't even imagine how much work is put into each puzzle he is sending out, what with them being made of millions of microscopic dots! Truly unique and wonderful work, thanks so much… Continue

Received: Super-hero mail-art from Marie Wintzer (Satima. Japan)

Mail-art by IUOMA member Marie Wintzer (Satima, Japan)


November 7, 2010 - Marie Wintzer's mail-art arrived here in the U.S.A., and I thought I was receiving her chapter for Cheryl Penn's "The Crimsoned Giant" book project. Instead, when I opened the elegant envelope (see below), I found an extraordinary…

A Blog Post for Franscoises Cheyne by Cheryl Penn "I spied with my little eye a bug maybe!"

Mail Art received 29th October 2010.

What a delight greeted me early last Friday morning - this beautifully wrapped artwork from Francoises. The card on the font read: "After cutting up a canvas of an orchid in a pot, I spied with my little eye a bug maybe!! Hope you can see him, Love Fransoises."





Of course I saw him - he was trapped under a piece of glass added by Franscoises.…

Received from Karen Champlin, USA--Peaceful Peacock

Karen's work continues to wow with her personalized stylistic elements--the layers of indecipherable ledgers, net, word lists, and string. To me, this piece looks like something found, something washed ashore. I like it very much.

Super-hero triptych - for De Villo Sloan


I like building up diptychs and triptychs with my photos, and I just found out that I can do the same with mail art.
I'm definitely in a diptych/triptych mood, there will be more of those.

The battle for art history - from Grigori Antonin



There was a time when I thought that I would never receive another postcard from Le Grigstaire. Or at least not with that same signature of his. I was wrong, and so happy that he resumed his mailing activities, it was a great surprise to find this in my mailbox.

This piece is quite a dark one though. La Battaglia di Legnano (see below for the original painting) is quite a violent sight on its own. Like in an attempt to erase… Continue

Received from Katerina Nikoltsou, Greece--Lions and Leaves

Katerina's FeMAIL Art always lands in style. A real leaf--from what kind of tree, I don't know, but I love it. The laminated memory of her Chicago visit to meet up with other IUOMA members earlier this year came in a little envelope--a great bonus. Katerina has recently risen to starlet status due to her appearance in Petala's video of…
