Marie sent this wonderful, haptic, fine, elegant boekie with the title "Leda or the Search for Beauty - a study in three parts" - published in the "Edition du Manoir aux Visons". I LOVE it, Marie, very zauberhaft!!…

A wonderful boekie showed up in my mail box the other day!

The clever title characterizes Cheryl's work and way of thinking (well, at least a bit of her thinking)! The boekie has six double folded pages and the cover is made of canvas.…

Spinning spaceships have been noted in Finnish air space thanks to Katerina! Wonderful and welcome!

There's this piece of vintage packaging that has been pulling at me for months, but I didn't know quite what I wanted to do with it. The colors are so vibrant and patriotic... This weekend, it hit me! It would make a great set of ListPo pieces! I found an old grocery list and got to work.…

Sandra Pinon (France) send an amazing collage piece naked through the postal service:

Got my first trade with Vizma Bruns (Australia), and she was the sweetest sweety-pie to make it fiber-themed!  Notice the crocheted eyes and lips!  They are…

A wonderful Trashpo-em from Carina.  I love the way the tails of the red thread do just what they want to...sometimes cooperating, sometimes not.  And the mirror-image smudge created (unintentionally) when the poem was folded just adds to the reverse image of Captain Acirema (or as our presidential candidate Mittens Romney likes to say: "Amercia").

Anyway, thanks for the…

Received two great trashpo pieces. This fantastic laminated American Spirit Cig box and my favorite piece to date from NBS. Nancy has proven that raw trashpo and aesthetic trashpo are not diametrically opposed. Thank you…
