Variation on a barcode Op.068 - from Dean Marks

My first barcode postcard from Dean! And I have to say it's great to see it "for real".

That wooden doll from Diane Keys

DK is sending me this doll (about 2cm thick), I can only imagine the puzzled and amused expression on the postman's face on both continents. It looks indeed like she could use a coat of some kind, I was thinking that Thom could knit something for her. Actually, on closer inspection, she almost caught enough hair during the trip (or before) to start a fur coat,…

Fine - from Lesley Magwood Fraser

Lesley has been going through a rough patch for several weeks already and we miss her at IUOMA. In the middle of life's turmoil she took the time to make this beautiful card, with the word "fine", and this is very touching as well as reassuring. The layering is beautiful, as usual, it is Lesley as we know her. I hope things will get better very soon, Lesley,…

Aladdin Sane aka Dean Marks

I received this yesterday from Dean Marks, the King of Bar Code Art....Though at this point he's probably more like the Emperor or the High Priest or even the God of Bar Code Art. He has taken it beyond the beyond. Check it out.

 

Now I have to admit the first thing that I thought of was not bar code. I don't think the two dimensional scan can convey the tactile…
