Carien's been having fun with speech balloons lately. we are amused. 

[the snail mail card may end up with Mail Art Martha, as i believe she is hosting a Snailapalooza chez elle...]

dank u zeer!

this lovely blue envelope features a quartet of faces (and a Johnsonesque bunny). inside: a diptych of artists' portraits and a triptych of stamps from the Republique du Coeur. that pink hat looks good on you, George.

(and i like that Mr. Rogers stamp quite a bit)

thanks Thom; see you in the mail…

such a lovely FluxFish!

who created this image? (i can't make out the signature). 

thanks for all you send Jokie

so, this pink envelope bearing some sort of royal elephant contained several elements labeled 'en pieces detachees'. what's the opposite of a casse-tete? merci Michelle; a bientot.

hilarious 'laughing gas' collage card ]:-)

along with a handwritten poem (+ bookmark) 

always cool to receive poetry - thanks…

thank U for this 'U for Unique' print; love the texture!

yes red alert for this planet of ours. baby it's hot outside; perhaps better to focus on astral harmony...?

gracias por…

wow, so this card was actually small enough to fit in the mailbox. i'm filing it under Eat Art/don't try this at home. merci Dean - enjoy those olympics 

Foldi 29 arrived with a very intriguing paper swatch - its mysterious texture conceals all evidence as to how it was made. perhaps it is part of an alien vessel that the snails brought in from the garden?

the Queen of Retalia uses only the best stamps when she sends stuff out -…

so thoughtful of Jimmy to send me a replacement head for the one that got ripped off William's postcard! i'll add it to my collection.

or maybe i should open a head shop...

ha ha ha - this second postcard completes the exquisite corpse  -

if you're so inclined, scroll back through my blog to see the head and shoulders postcard. during a less lazy moment, i will put them together and post as a comment here. merci beaucoup…

the usual assortment of digital artworks runs the gamut from outer space to interior dreams, and some delicious baked goods topped with whipped cream and cherries remind us to Eat Art. judging from her output, i'm guessing Sabela goes through ink cartridges pretty quickly... gracias mi amiga…

and Splat! just like that this ancient library 'Date Due' card and pocket and showed up. it is really important to update one's paradigm from time to time, so i'm glad this 1963 book "Our Widening World: the world in which we live" has been removed from the Cobre High School shelves to make room for more recent findings. of course history has its…

'this is the point where i lost my mind' - no, if you can make stamps like these, you've still got it. bravo on such skillful execution! i do hope producing these brought about the desired conclusion (exorcism). i've always sensed that (Mail) Art can do…

these are all the same card - it's, um, ...lenticulated or some such? so it can change colors depending on the angle.while it's true that i mess around with the color when i post photos, that's not what you're seeing here; this time something was already happening before i did any adjusting. very cool card - and it brought to mind a mobile…

wow it's been a while since i've seen a pterodactyl -[makes me think of Nilsson's "The Point"].

i'm definitely a fan of these Ukrainian stamps --

Lubomyr has a new address - i hope the move is a…

inside of this volcanic envelope, i found a homemade Add-and-Pass bookie featuring stunning papers, originating, apparently, from Coco Muchmore. let me know if you'd like to be the next recipient!

those random Korean stickers are pretty funny - are they meatballs? i have a fabulous recipe for Korean-style meatballs that i have committed to…

self portrait in two tongues?

oh, maybe William is sending me this head to make up for the one that disappeared from the recent postcard he sent... well, you know what they say about two heads, so thanks for this extra one…

unsolicited surprises from Posta Rica! the FluxFish is easy to spot, but can you make out the hidden message (hint: in the pink). Mail Art Not War is a good slogan. thanks for sharing Lisa; see you in the mail!
