Steam engine diagram from Louise M Kiner.  This is a diagram to help me build a steam engine to power the Timey whimey that Louise sent me.

So let me see;

An envelope full of what Val calls; Non-Mail Art.  So be it!  Thank you Val, or should I say non thank you?  But wait and see, these items will appear again someday!

Lovely page with (Silk?) threads pouring out of it.  You can't help running your fingers a long the threats.  On the 9^th of January 2012, the “Bound for Life” book was unbound for life as the pages have been sent around the world.  Thank you ladies.…

A classic drama from 1937.  No, not Val, the Mail Art he sent me.  A bird and his feathers pluck together.  thank you Val…

N° 2 paint on paper from Cheryl N°5 Penn comes with a note which explains that this piece came from a 3 meter painting on paper pulp that is cut up after the paint is dry.  By the look of the thickness of the paint, I would estimate that it took about a year to dry.  The note further explains that the paper pulp comes a friend who by the way is 3 meters tall and works at a paper mill, and likes to give her a roll.  And it seems that the paint wasn't even dry before that happen, but it does…

Ah Katerina surely knows how to get to a man, Cookies & Bar codes!  And right in time as I just deleted all the cookies from my computer, and sent the last one to Val ... without an envelope. (see last photo)  Thank you Katerina, I'm happy that they were not half baked!…

I received this wonderful booklet in a home made envelope.  What you see here is all the pages scanned and put on to one page, printed, scanned again and uploaded.  Now what do I do with the one page copy I printed?  Well, I'm sure it will show up at Svenja's place in one form or another.  Thank you again Svenja.…

Strelnikov thank you very for this piece.  I had it DNA tested and it is yours indeed.  Happy to see you back.

Found this beautifully painted card in my letterbox today but have not the slightest idea who sent it to me from the USA. It's a very good piece of mail art in my view. It is entitled Lady spitting blood. Thanks…

If you are one of the luck ones to get one of these from Val, we don't open it!  No matter if you have sent Val mail art or not, you will be fined.  You have been warned!  Thanks Val for this, I'll pay my fine in McVitie's Homewheat Digestive Biscuits.…

The greak version that sparkles... and barcodes to boot.  Includes very ruff Greek toilet paper.  What will Katerina think of next.  The envelope idea will be debated.  Thank you to the Ruff Sparkle Queen herself.…

A very beautiful and clever work of art indeed.  I looked at Louise's website and found that she is really a box artist.  The Zombie Cat is just a cover!  If you get the chance, have a look for yourself.

I put this piece and the cover at the base of my computer screen and find myself gazing at it all the time.  Thank you very much Louise, I am very lucky to have one of your works of art.…

Happy this got to you.  Enjoy!…

Well the country may be broke, but they sure know how to bring in the New Years.  Very clever Rustic French Bread wrapper with Confetti inside.  All in an envelope of course, from the party girl herself.  Thank you very much for the Christmas and Mail Art.   Katerina, I'm still smiling.…

Now that Mim has finished her 365, 1 mail art per day for a year project, there are no longer numbers on her Mail Art works.  So my guess is we are back to putting our own titles.  I call this one Mim's The Golden Seal.  I don't know why as it has nothing to do with the Navy Seals or those other seals that can balance a ball on their noses.  It was just the first thing that came to mind.  Thank you Mim as she arrives in Paris today.…

Thank you for this work and the greetings which was waiting for me upon my return to Paris.  I am inspired.

Two From E  or in short we could say EE.  One is actually an invite to donate my soul to E, which I might just take him up on that project as the Mail Art Omens have been good to me.

The second one is a machine of how to make funky Mail Art.  One I must try soon.  Thank you E, and boy have I got something for you ...…

Hey Postman!  There is a Herr sending me soup. The Soup King, Hair Erni Bar out done himself again.  Not only does he send a package of soup, he makes sure it is BIO as well, and to top the whole thing off, it is even within it's sell by date of  03 Dec 2012.  My German grandmother use to make Fruhlings suppe for us when I was little.  She would always say that if I finished the…

On a more serious side, I also received this lovely peice from Kerri Pullo entitled "Vanishing Professor".  Very nice indeed, but it is hard to find where the professor starts and finishes!  I like the vanishing theme, and hope to use it someday.  Thank you very much Kerri, and I hope to send you something soon.

This is a wonderful piece and brought back some great memories.  When I was 16 years old, I told the girls at school that we had a magic couch in our house and they could come over for a ride if they wanted.  However, I never thought to give out tickets!  Well times have changed, and Kerri has given me ticket n° 7211872.  I have calculated that my turn will come to be on my 93rd birthday.  Well something surely to keep living for.  PS:  If anyone gets a ticket from Kerri with the number of 5…
