Condolence Card from the most creative initials I know

Blurry Bunny pic-squinting seems to sharpen the picture.  Thank God there are still people who care about little bunny foo foo and his recent departure into bunny heaven.  At this very moment, he is at the taxidermist getting stuffed for the mantel.  Thank you KDJ!!

Blossomed from Diane Keys, USA--Premium Lemons and a Trig Table

Diane's combination of scrap text, stamps, and a sewn-on button make this mail art a great, tactile piece. The woman covering her eyes may be contributing to the Haptic theme that sense of touch is just as important as sense of sight. On the address side I've been… Continue

A Blog for Lindsay Stewart "Madame Farquharsons's Dream Alfabit

Mail Art received third week of January 2011

I ‘met’ Lindsay through Project 26 – an excellent place to be :-) She posted me my first zine – exciting! It is made from a book recently bought from a second hand store. The Book was called Charlie Farquharsons Korn Allmynack  Lindsay writes further  - “obviously in satire, most words are spelled incorrectly.  One section, Madame Farquharsons Dream Alfabit” was perfect.  Yes, another sort of 26 project  - the cover says its all – speshully…

Special purple packet from Karen today! Many, many thanks!

Sometimes, when a package like this arrives, you almost don't want to hurry to open it. It is better to linger and spend time with the details of the envelope, the soft refineness of the wrapping...let anticipation built a bit, because you just know that itis going to be something special from Karen!

ART NATION is a give-away clue...guarded through the postal…

My project for 2011 ... update

  I have decided that, as part of "documentation" for this little project, I would add a posting here every month or so - a sort of progress report - and a record of how the project grows or changes, choices made and decisions taken.  I have already started posting scans of finished, or near finished pages in a photo album on this site and I am making plans for some sort of written documentation for the projects end, so things are sort of coming together.

  At the moment, one month in…

What a wonderful world it can be... (my life in song lyrics?)

As some of you know, I sing and write music as well as make mail art.  I've noticed lately that I often respond to questions with song lyrics!  Does anyone else do that?  I don't do it on purpose, it's just that there seem to be song lyrics to fit any and all occasions!  

 

My grandmother once told me that she was going to stop speaking in anything but aphorisms since they could cover anything she wanted to say and I'm starting to understand her.  

 

Anyway, it's…
