Alicia Starr sends haunting clean-up
Huh? Who wouldn't want to be there when Alicia cleans up? My hand is staying down. This is a stunner:
This so-called clean-up hits a home run in my view. And it's hard to portray via scanner, but the central face in this piece is a translucent overlay on the faces lurking underneath. A Lady of the Lake. It is an intelligent, humble, searching face, with depth literally…

Bifidus Jones sends Edith Wharton
His First Day of Issue mail arts are extra special: A notebook here, sitting somewhere between many other notebooks on the shelves, has many Edith Wharton quotes in it. I hope it turns up again before I'm dead. In the meantime, I love having this beauty from Bifidus. On the…

a WOW from K.S. Chambers
This first piece from Keith arrived a week ago, and what an elegant yet whimsical beauty it is. Did he know I have a thing for dots? Probably not. But everything about it works, not just the dots--other composition aspects, great colors--and waxy textures, which I'd love to hear about if you're inclined.
*Thank you,*…

Drawing +++ from Frieder Speck
That is one gorgeous, colorful, laughing man. One of your many finest, Frieder. I embarrassed Frieder a few months ago by declaring in someone else's blog post that "I like everything he does." He then sent this, probably thinking it's nothing if you read the back, but as usual I think it's really something:…

2 from Rebecca Guyver
They speak for themselves. Rebecca is multi-faceted, as seen in these two very different and appealing pieces, both from this past winter:
and the other side:
Plus one of Rebecca's fused plastic and bits of trash stitched pieces (it really is a…

"What are you going to do with that ugly thing?" Dean's wife asked nicely.
After working on it, Dean Marks now says "BUT I KINDA LIKE IT!" So do I, yep, it's colorful, looks Italian or French, and features wine and grapes--can't go wrong with those ingredients:
There it hangs now near the piano corner, lightening the heavy load of the…

KDJ, David Stafford, Grigori Antonin, and Diane Keys
Is KDJ missed or what? Yesssss. She sent this piece in November, as well as a most generous gift of a well-known collage book I'd not yet obtained. It became an instant favorite: KDJ, since you're not forgotten, why be gone? Ack, not to pressure, but as you can see it is sorely tempting to try. ...
KDJ started the IUOMA group "I'm Enchanted With David," and here is but…

Svenja Wahl, Jim SantAmour, Erni Bar, and Jon Foster
Svenja is not capable of sending faceless mail art. See, here she tried, yet the face still speaks:
I love it.
Jim sent a fine, foodword-ridden, sharply composed collage based on a photo he took at the New York State Fair in Syracuse--very nicely done: …

Thom Courcelle and Katerina Nikoltsou
In December Thom sent a calendar that proves what we already know: this poor cobtastic guy is overworked. And, it appears, always has been:
It arrived in a cheerful envelope and with a lovely note:
Not the only arrival from Kat, by far, but it…

Can you imagine?
Mail art *worlds* hitting your house when you're stuck in it for months? You people are so wonderful. Someone somewhere sometime said "Gratitude is one of the least articulate of the emotions, especially when it is deep." I know this for a fact, having tried to write this thank you too many times to count, and words failed. So: Thank You. You sent clever, beautiful, funny, minimal, thought-provoking, inspiring mail art for months, beyond hope or imagination. We exchanged before,…
