A piece of Aussie Land - from Helen Amyes

My first ever envelope from Australia arrived last week. Until now I only admired Helen's work on other people's blogs, but I am now the proud owner of one of her cards. A big slice of Australia for me, starting with the kangaroo envelope (love it!).

The card is a book page decorated with painting, postal stamps, rubber stamps? (not sure) and... one of Helen's silky…

Mail Art Book

 Mail Art Books

Just in case some of you were wondering what happened to your art once it reached the bottom of the world, here is the latest mail art book I have compiled with mail from all over the world.  It was begun in July last year.  Titled 19th July 2010 – 31 December 2010 it holds many of the mail art pieces I have received during that period which are of  similar size.    If the artwork was A6 size and the envelope bigger, the envelope was cut to fit.  Other than…

A Blog Post for Judy Skolnick. The World is A Town with No one In It?

Mail Art Received second week January 2011.

 

 Judith has contributed three  beautiful photo montages for The World is a Town project.  As many of you know, The Novgorod Codex, dating back to the 11th century resulted in an artist’s book The World is a Town which has slowly been fragmented into the world.  The writer so long ago laments his own personal position - a surprisingly postmodern global village lament. All the contributions I receive will form Volume 2  of…
