From Bifidus Jones. I find this image is both scary and funny at the same time. Great eyes! Great postcard!


From Rachel Freeman. Lovely botanical collages. Awesome collage concept! What a surprise!…

I received a lovely handmade letter from an Italian MA enthusiast today requesting that I submit work to his new initiatives - Friends of MA and Something of Strange. Strange I can do without a problem :). I've posted his letter below for other MA's to submit if interested and documented the piece I returned to him. I think it's strange. …

MA Felker (WA) and myself are sending art back and forth re-wrapping the original postal item. He started with a beautiful envelope (already documented in My Photos) and returned with an origianl set of prints. He has now mailed me this aromatic banana sticker encrusted package. A ticket from the Iain Baxter show @ the SAM was attached plus a beautiful lighthouse stamp - same style as the first one he sent me.
I'm pondering how to respond and return.
Where will this end? I'm…

MA RCBZ sent me a lovely personal Souvenir Sheet of James Joyce themed stamps. Signed and shipped in a plain wrapper, I was thrilled to discover these inside. As a stamp enthusiast and a former hard core philatelist (hmmm, a good name for a movie) - I love stamps of all kinds. Great work by RCBZ.…

I made my first set of stamps a few days ago. They are nothing special, just some clip art of a hen that I recoloured for each one. I was inspired by my two hens, Inara and Shelley, to create a new currency: eggs! 1be means that the stamp is worth one bantam egg. I will make higher priced stamps which will cost a bre, or a black rock egg. (Shelley being a bantam, and Inara, a black rock hen.)
I wanted to have somewhere for my stamps to have come from, so I named my "post"…

I also belong to a site in Germany that does not have the robust visual features of this group - nor the camaraderie - but it does has a host of mailing addresses and contact info for artists. I noticed that a number of IUOMA members are cross posted and/or listed there - but it may be new to those not aware of it.…

Printed art card MA from Pajomo in WA. Handmade artstamp and personal message on reverse. He is lamenting the loss of his database. Its one of the reasons I keep mine as a hard copy. I love my MACs (including my new IPAD) but journalling and MA addresses are a tactile, hand-written craft.

I love the tone of the paer (best appreciated in person) and the airbrush style of…

KC is a fellow IL mail artist and I am thrilled to be the recipient of this work. Thank you, KC!…
