A light fell upon him as he contemplated the great Shroud of Elgin...

At first the light burned a little...

Then he was filled with the spirit of Trashpo, and De Villo Sloan felt compelled to share with the masses the miraculous…

Got a new Brain Cell From Ryosuke Cohen, yey! I think he did a GREAT job, I'm absolutely chuffed. The Minxus stamps look dashing, right in the middle of the sheet (and just on top of Cheryl's hat). And icing on the cake, the address list goes: cp-sa, mw-jp, rc-jp. Great!

And I really want to quote MINesota flUXus (NOT the real Minxus) friend…

Thanks to Nancy Bell Scott or whoever coined the term Blogjam. It’s the perfect word for my current affliction. Apologies to all whose mail art has been languishing near my scanner. Let me begin with Stephanie Blake’s Whirligig Mugshot which amazed both of us by arriving without a scratch. Not even a torn edge.

 I know many of you will be tempted to try…

Received this great piece in a 'royal mail' envelope from Sarah Churchill. She said she found all these bits on her way to work. I love the way she put this together and Welsh trash certainly looks more intruiging than American. the thread really makes it. thank you…

RCBz has been a sort of Custodian of Mona, since I started the Mona Lisa mail art call.  He submitted Medi-Alert Mona and then the Not the Dulwhich Gallery image where he had digitally assembled all the  Mona Lisa’s off my blog. ( http://cherylpenn.com/wpb ).  As every good gallery should have, RCBz created a card rack. The Cards From the Rack series were created by RCBz from the works that had not fitted on the gallery walls.  R has sent me the whole…

My first Artspace mail art! Very honoured, thanks Rebecca Guyver!

Kitty vomit from Louise Kiner via Dean Marks! Always a pleasure....RALPH!!!…

In celebration of a fabulous IUOMA posting day yesterday--did you catch all the DKult action happening here yesterday??--and in honor of Lisa and KDJ's collaborative tattoo project arriving in my mailbox, I decided to have a celebratory dinner.  So I dove into the stash of tins that Erni sent from Hamburg, and whipped up a new dish! It is photo documented here for your salivating delight...

Many folks seemed to like the first recipe posted and some even sent themed artwork in honor of…

A great surprise from Amy Irwen.  This must have taken hours to do.  It is out of this world.

This is a really fun piece of work.  It is very pleasant on the eye and to the touch.    And who knows what powers it could have within.…

Received this great trashpo altered postcard from Tallie. Love the sentiment of, "Show Up, Love, Be Loved" really says it…

Marie sent me wonderful photographic mysteries. I'm lost in the world of Marie, everything is new. I'm trying to sort out the mysteries, but it's perhaps not the intention, best to just leave it as it is...

Thank you Marie!…

I believe that this work reflects Alicia's interest in creating new visions of fragments related to physical and artistic ideals. Both in a funny and seriously way..

This piece is a long double folded card containing collages, lines, painted plastic films and stamping. I love how the line works together with collages! Thank you…
