Good Mail Day - Angie and Snooky, Stephanie Blake and Cernjul Viviana

My mailbox was full of these 3 goodies yesterday, I was delighted to receive work from these 3 for the 1st time.

An abstract landscape format card from Cernjul in Argentina, I am about to start some landscape drawings so this is good inspiration!

And one of Stephanie's "quilted" cards, I love it, the random images all go "sew" well together in their colour group YELLOW.So they are not random any more.

And finally 2 ATCs from Angie - I am so pleased to finally own a print…

Once - from Karen Champlin

Karen has put so much into this piece, it is going to be difficult for me to write up something that can convey how touched I was when I read her message. It tells about a long journey. Searching for someone and searching for herself along the way, and in the end, the story of a redemption, if I can put it this way, I think it is not too strong a word. The woman sitting on the bench and posing for the photo is Karen's mum. The words "he recognized that expression" from the…

Hope for Japan - from Katerina Nikoltsou

A beautiful and delicate card from Katerina. Yes, in spite of all the things that happened and are still happening, hope is not dying out. Spring in here. Are we going to sit under the cherry trees and do hanami as every year? Maybe not. But then again, maybe we should.

I find this card to have quite a Japanese feel. Is it the ink, the symbiosis of paper and paint, the pure lines.... In any case, I love it, thank you Katerina, you have been such a great support in these…

Received from De Villo Sloan, USA--Haptic Poem in Beige Finish

Nothing better than getting a Haptic poem in the mail. De Villo's poem gives me a chance to contemplate the ordinary out of context and elevate it to new frontier levels, yet the fact that it comes in a baggy gives it an artifact-like presence. It reminds me of…

Flower arranging channel - from David Stafford

This is the first envelope I got from David, and it got me instantly curious. I am very fond of his stories, he is such a good storyteller as well as a talented artist. This one transported me into the world of a nursing home and I could just picture the scene so clearly. Residents at the nursing home being really tired and bored and probably upset but... you don't mess with nurse Dalisay, the flower arranging channel it shall be. Beautifully writen, and that TV, I don't even want to switch…

Greetings from Val, Bianca and Trouble

Today I met Val's cats, Bianca and Trouble. Or at least I think those are Val's cats. Yes, they must be his cats... The postcard is quite cool, I have no idea which technique he used, it's hard to tell, but I like it. The back of the card comes with a drawing of a very blasé looking cat, in a very cosy looking home :-)) Great one, Val, thank you!
