Happy St. Valentine's from Marie Wintzer, well not really, but close! Random fallen words or as the page turns?

AH those French ladies know how to use the English language to their advantage.  This reminds me of a very funny event.  Once I went to a swimming pool in England and saw a sign that said "No Heavy Petting in the Pool", and for the life of me could not understand what it meant.  I asked a lady in the pool what the sign meant, and she slaps me across the face.  “Wise guy”, she said, and did the breast stroke to the other side of the pool, and told the life guard to keep an eye on me.  I…

Mail Call from ArtLikeArt

Received this altered postcard with what looks to be a handpainted mail truck. The paint is matte and I hope Sandra will tell me how she has made this. A psychedelic mail truck  with hypnotic wheels--doesn't get better than that-thanks Sandra!

A box full of darkness - from Alicia Starr

This is my first mail from Alicia, a wonderful surprise. The flower on the envelope seems to have lost a few of its fragile petals. I always like when things don't arrive exactly the way they left, bearing the marks of a long trip, or "travel wrinkles".…

Find Peace Give Joy from Dave Hunt in Minesota

Living 9 months of the year indoors makes people talented, and Minnesota is the place to be where you have 9 months of winter and 1 month each for the other seasons.  Check out Dave's website; bluffecho.com and you can hire Dave & his French horn for all your events, and he can draw.  Thank you Dave, warm thoughts for you.…

Dabta Star Child from Cheryl Penn in South Africa - The pilot is not to be missed

Lovely and interesting piece from Cheryl Penn.  Sewing, story & envelope all in one.  I like the story but these are a few faults.  Women who hold up the world ... say anywhere you want to be and they will take you there.  However, recently I have notice a lot of women wandering around parking lots looking for where they parked thier car.  Is there a time limit on how long it…

Stunning Trashpo from Karen

Received this beauty from #Karen Champlin--love the fabric and stitching, and she says "The grungy stuff is 26 year old rug backing that my dogs chewed up.". It's actually beautiful and glistens. I'm glad she told me what it was because I could not tell. The angel card is really a nice touch and I like how she has the edge torn off as though it was also chewed.Thank you for…

DKult Fan Zine from DeVillo Sloan

I feel bad exposing this wild child side of KDJ, but DKult strives for transparency in all things and we must be held accountable for our  actions, as well as of those we love and care about. KDJ is currently sequestered on a desert island at an undisclosed location. What doesn't kill us, just makes us go crazy and at that point-who really cares?.DeVillo has created his first ever trashbook and made it into a fanzine and I am honored to receive it. I don't know how he knew it, but I have…
