The Waterville knitting mill - from Nancy Bell Scott

When I saw Nancy's work featuring on several blogs I was hoping to receive something from her, and I didn't have to wait for a very long time, her first envelope arrived this week, lucky me.

Nancy dug up an old box full of of antique print blocks and stamps from her attic, check out her blog if you haven't seen it yet, it is very impressive. She started to use and…

Pinky and glitter

Thanks Viviana. ;) Love your card and the

Malbec from your homeland. Something coming your way soon. Are the birds on the other side a stamp hand-coloured?

THE ZOOLOGIST:SELF-PORTRAIT WITH ANIMAL STAMPS

Alicia Starr's imaginary friends! and real art

Alicia sent this piece that fascinates me: The ragged edges along with the hints of rulers, punch cards, hole punch -- favored office supplies of not long ago -- make an intriguing combination. And it's all brought up to date with her wonderfully loose asemic writing. I see punch cards because those little horizontal marks in varying rows remind me of the stacks of punch cards…

Received from Yvonne Neldel, Germany--Berlin Labor

Yvonne is new to IUOMA and I am the lucky recipient of her mail art. I like the way the horse's ears extend over the post card. "Stay colourful and wild"--good advice for everyone here at IOUMA. Vielen Dank,… Continue

Grigori Antonin knocked on my door

Imagine my surprise when I found an envelope from GA in my mailbox with a familiar Hello Kitty stamp on it. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, rubbed them a little bit stronger, but it was really him, sending me mail from the Peninsula, one of the best hotels in Tokyo. The one and only Grigster was downtown, a few stops down the Yurakucho line, and he didn't tell his…

Catherine Petre's long-awaited mail art arrives to great fanfare ...

... in that I whooped and hollered, I'm so thrilled with it:

To me this is a really fine work that includes elegance, contemporaneity + history, and mystery. The red and black/brown giving the face its soft-tissue structure and expression are a bold move, one that I find very successful. The eyes are fascinating and enigmatic -- sometimes I see them as spookily blank,…

Intriguing Collage from Neil Gordon

I like how he has composed all these elements-some of domestic bliss and the hand drawing looks either like a hershey's kiss or a bomb. nice juxtaposition thank you Neil!

Nancy's Trash

Nancy was feeling bad for me because I told her I was completely out of trash at the moment. I count on various trash suppliers and sometimes there is a dry spell. She was kind enough to send me her trash. She has assured me it all came out of her own house so it was… Continue

Cathérine Petré Spoils Me--Exhibits Multiple Talents in One Envelope

Yesterday My mailbox contained my first blessed gift from Cathérine Petré. Oh! You know how, sometimes you receive an article in the mailbox, and you just know it's going to contain something amazing, and you open the envelope with a reverence as though it were a thousand-year-old document archived at the Smithsonian, and you pull things out of the envelope without breathing…
