Some of you may remember the Orchard Beach Codex. For those who don't a quick recap. The OBC, so-called because it washed ashore in Old Orchard Beach, Maine in 1947, is an obscure collection of medieval documents cobbled together some around the turn of one of the centuries. At one time, many scholars say, the OBC was over 6,000 pages long, its pages consisting of a compendium Bible quotes, language primers, advice for the lovelorn and recipes for kippered snacks. Over time the OBC was…

Thank you for your "Tulip", Tarah!

This poetic doublesided card gives me a feeling of "déjà vu" or is it something I have dreamed of, A Grand Day Out! I enjoy it very much, not to forget the wonderful stamps, emphera and the title…

Wonderful postcard from Cuan Miles, thanks a lot!!

The joy of the elements of this piece go beyond the visual which may be difficult to believe. Nancy layered  fine parchment papers. Both splendidly painted and collaged. The other element here is the SOUND of the paper when lifting to peek beneath. so multi-dimensional Nancy. an angel peeks through the window on the upper left. Gracias NBS. It's always a pleasure doing business with you. ;--)…

WoW. all the way from Sultanate of Oman and he sent it twice it seems. First time in a clear plastic covering and then in an envelope. So happy this piece made the journey. It's BEAUTIFUL. If only i could read arabic. Water colour and ink. A big شكرا. (thank you)

Lovely. …

Marie, is this from you? shamanistic and enchanting. The caption: "Where the cover girls go to get their mojo".

Would love to join in on this one.

Sorry, I was so busy with promoting this beautiful event, that I neglected my mail art. Be patient, there will be more time soon!

Greetings Emmy

This is a fantastic (laminated) card by Austin. He has opened the thick walls of the mysterious Hotel Nemzeti for us to have a peep into its darkest corners. The details of the three floors are too many to describe, but there is a certain glow and an atmosphere that has nothing to envy to the best thrillers. We don't know what happened there, we only know there is blood…

HELP!!!!

I sent out the call below a few weeks ago, and the response has been very, very disappointing. So disappointing in fact that I’m faced with a non-Exhibition.

So, let me make things easier, and ask you to send me an Envelope. Any Envelope

Forget ‘Summer in Sigean’ – just send me an envelope on the theme of Summer.…

Thanks!

One of those familiar brown long envelopes from Japan arrived in Greece today.

Not from Brain Cell, Ryosuke, but from Tomoe.

It had an interesting postage seal, as it was stamped ONE year and ONE day since the tragedy in Japan...
