Carina from Finland- Feel like a million

Big envelope arrived today 27x18cm with a lovely artwork inside. My first one from Carina Granlund. She wrote that this piece is "an easy peasy technique in etching," and it was put in her graphic press. Nice one Carina. This has beautiful details, from stitching, drawing and kind of almost perforated dots.…

Mona Lisa - Never Mind the Prado Museum - LOOK HERE!!! TICTAC (Germany), David Stafford (Sort of), Angie Cope (USA), Laura P (USA)

More incoming :-) - I think I'll begin with the one that isn't REALLY Mona Lisa - from David Stafford.  The contents of the envelope are the MOST wonderful calendar - but I'll blog that separately - this was on the envelope :-))!  OF COURSE I asked David for a Mona Lisa....!!

From TICTAC (Germany) - again, the quirky interpretation is just wonderful! - Dolly Lisa…

inflamed situation from Claudia McGill

This piece speaks for itself. The hands and feet of the characters are fab too. The birdie has the perfect understated hand gesture to drive her point home.. Thank you very much Claudia.

A Guido original of course

Guido, your envelope was laying on the floor for its photo shoot when i noticed how it became part of it. This is a good thing. we spent 16+ hours on hands and knees staining the concrete. This probably doesn't mean anything to anyone, but it just looked great lying there. Thanks Guido.…

Kookaburra - from Vizma Bruns

This is my first card from Vizma, and I am absolutely thrilled. Kookaburra, you sure got me googling, Vizma. Just like the chimpanzee on your card, I am a very slow creature. And I very often cannot find things that are right in front of my eyes. True story! In any case, this a great collage. And the back of the card comes with plenty of interesting stamps and…

Red Car water color from Debbie Clandening by Golly

A lot going on in this water colour from Debbie Clandening by Golly.  Notice all the items of temptation are in red; the red sports car, the red apples & the red door to by Golly's home.  Is it true that the real Garden of Eden is found in Canada?

Thank you very much Debbie, and my guess that the guy in the red sports car isn't taking the long way to the by Golly home.…

Footpath findings from Jennifer Jones

Yes, even on the foot paths in Portland you can find wonder things.  Jennifer has put it all together in this lovely card, and she only had to walk 500 miles to find it all.  Thank you very much Jennifer, and I hope you didn't wear a hole in your socks.  Socks?  Jennifer, did you say that you wanted Mail Art socks, well you are in luck ...…
