Angie has been steadfast in sending me her pieces WBOB (without benefit of blog). Here are just four of the things I've received since April including but not limited to: A pair of ATCS featuring a beautiful babe (possibly Jean Shrimpton) and a blue footed booby. The model has a haptic noose around her face, the booby seems content to sit aukwardly upon his continent. Also an alphabet card constructed from signage and a large breasted lingerie model proudly deploying her voting franchise. I…

Today I received this very pleasing card from Suus. A really nice surprise - really really nice. Thank you…

Erni is fast becoming one of my favorite people here at IUOMA.  Not only is he talented, intuitive and wise... He is most GENEROUS!

We've recently been learning more about one another. In one exchange, I told him simply that I loved a piece of his work, "Straight Red Tango." Imagine my surprise when a package arrived from Erni, containing said piece of art!…

Luckily my neighbours were home so they could take this Giant-Supermega-very-interesting-parcel from the postman. I don't know what to say! The parcel itself is already fantastic. So thinks Troels, the ginger one.…

Thought I had already blogged these, then found them when I was sorting my mail art pile. I live in the historic Elgin Watch Factory…

I think I've posted this upside down, but it works from all angles. For some reason the turquose 50 cent stuck out to me. This is one of a great series on consumerism-aka DKonsumer DKonconciousness-feast for the eyes thank you…

Yippeeeee, Jubilee Diamond Mail from Dean. This is such an honour. I guess the figure on this card is Henry the-so-many'est, isn't it?…

Now this card definitely came from England! "Let us eat cake"!!!

And it seems to be a great "add 'n pass around -the-table-as we drink"...tea? ale? wine?

Look at these fun details...characters one and all:…

I received this last week from Dean as part of his "Mail Art On The Road" adventure. Dean rode his bicycle from Paris to London for the Jubilee. Joined in a Mail Art Meet Up in London. Hung…

Many thanks to Brent Leopold for his amazing watercolor cards.

The Blue dog is perfect! what an expression...it is Brent's favorite, and I love it too!

He also sent a tarot card, #9, blonde and thinking as only a blondie can:…

Jon sent his "NOSTRILS know hare" CD and it arrived in a fun envelope!

Good Mail Art Day in my mail box :-)

Nadine in California writes that "Pacific Blue is NOT as Blue as Greek Blue" So, true!…

I always enjoy getting mail-art from Richard.  His words are entertaining and always give me something to…

Theresa Williams wears a great many hats, most of her own devising. The one that sent me this is the curator of the International Museum of Small Things, a post she has held since April when Mr. Fenwick passed away and gave her, with his dying last grasp, the small key to the small museum. It exists, like many rare and exotic things, in Bradner, Ohio. In fact, on the way in to Bradner there’s a big billboard that says, “Welcome to Bradner, Home of the Giant Pickle.” Many people have lobbied…

The Slow Def Blog Jam continues, even in the searing heat of summer. Tonight we feat Carina Granlund, my Finnish friend who has sent me this wonderful Robot made with “an easy etching technique using gum arabicum.” Carina, I want to know more about this technique.

The robot is of the…

Steph sent me this mail art  in honor of her recent trip to Hawaii. I don't know how she has done this, but it looks like the design in hand done in Sharpie. --it looks like those God's eyes. Hawaii has been good to you thank you…
