I can't believe my luck...2 pieces from uproariously funny girl Arac. This one had me laughing before I'd gotten to the serious stuff on the back! Love the background jellyfish people and me in a fancy red bathing suit. Then, a serious prize for Best in Fruit! Is that a golden persimmon? I'll save my speeches Arac, as I'm unprepared and quite emotional, but thankyou to all the…

This photo intrigues me. there seems to be more than one story here. tiny bits of newsprint on intersecting threads can be moved - but - only to the next intersection. I will spend some time with this one. That isn't a bride carrying a wreath is it? First communion veil? Literal translations usually don't appeal to me, hmmm.  Thank you Laurence.…

Latest arrivals :-) - I have printed more to send out if anyone would like a set (one to keep and one to return altered). A reminder - I took photographs of desk tops in the art department. They are abstract paintings, made on the move, without guile and unbeknown to the creators. 

From Marcel Peral (Argentina)

From Lauriana Glenny (South Africa) -…

Sometimes you can take it or leave it, says Svenja's envelope. In this case no hesitation, of course, take it and open eagerly :-))

Inside, a fantastic Kunststuck, an inchie to be filled out and an interesting newspaper article.…

Does anyone tire of yet another card from Dean Marks? NO!

(ning would not let me continue on one blog...so a new blog, just for Dean ;-)

An ENVELOPE...a card in an envelope...from Dean! Super fun ;-)

Great stamps, too...always…

So, does one ever tire of yet another card from Dean Marks...and/or Valentine Mark (Herman). 

No Way!Bring on all the mail art cards...hundreds, in or not in envelopes!

Valentine sent La Poste and other lovely mail boxes...er, I mean…

Been delayed in the unusual European winter weather perhaps,

a package from Erni in Hamburg usually takes only 48 hours to reach Greece, it took 2 weeks...

but it arrived ( er, was "picked up" at the post office,) TODAY...my day!…

The coded cookie reads; "Hi Dean, Anything else would be too normal".  Well Erni has surpassed himself again, and pulled it off with only a little help from der Deutche Post.  The Pfefferkuchen, (but my German grandmother called them cookies because she wanted to sound American), arrived in a plastic bag.  It seems that the Deutche Post was so amazed by this creation, that they forgot to cancel the stamps!  Thank you Erni, the Haptic Werewolf has surely gone where no Werewolf has gone…

Nadine lives in "NoHo"...North Hollywood, California, USA.

And she has been busy sending her mail art treasures around the world.

I am fortunate to receive two excellent painted cards  wrapped in a beautiful blue kerchief!

What fun to "unwrap" the art!…

"She did the best she could" - as you can see in this picture, Nadine sent to me. I think it's part of her series about worn out people. Love it, Nadine!!

I have to apologize for the photos, there's not enough daylight... Kokabella sent this great postcards. I love the mixture of different papes, warnings, pictures!

An eye for an eye (with wonderful warm colours, - and no eyes at all):…

No need to look any further to find a way to stretch your dollars, shred them and pass them around to the boys.  When Erni & I get together we will have a buck!  Thank you Katerina, It has everything a man could want, and bar codes to boot. …
