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. …

I have received this wonderful piece by Nancy a few weeks back. Life hasn't been a long quiet river for her recently, and I know that this work was her first attempt at getting back to art, at finding her feet in the studio again, so I'm really touched and honored that she thought about me. 

Nancy is making great use of what I call her "islands", and to me…
