Look who arrived here after a long travel from Old Orchard Beach to Heidelberg! Nancy sent this slow owl (say that ten times!) ages ago. I love it and I'm laughing about it. It has everything good mail art needs: eyes, rust, fringes.…

This is beautiful. It is number one of a series of two monotypes, created by Michalis Kotsaris. I am really curious about the technique. The paper is handmade, I guess. Thank you, Michalis.

About 200 cards have been distributed for the Millennia Mail Art Project.  There is one last batch left.  If you haven’t gotten one and want to participate, send me a message (via my website) and these will be mailed out on a first-come-first-serve basis.  Learn about the project here.

I can hear those national geographic maps a callin' me. I will need some help deciphering the text here, Svenja as my German (like my French) is limited to Woe est der toiletten. …

Another exhibit from the museum of small things by curator Theresa Williams.

I don’t envy Jimmy in his wonderment. Thank you, Theresa.

A small story:…

This small postcard reached me yesterday....not sure what to do with it...is it an Add n Pass? or just a hello!

if it is and Add n Pass, please let me know the originator so it gets back to them once it's been in the wind a while...

thanks…

A fantastic piece from Roberto....Very cool texture with the brown paper bag background *!* and.....an AP originated from Tofu with adds from Roberto so far...mine will be Layer 3, so will post when I finish with it...…

Poor white couch-she needs higher self esteem I think white is always stylish and classic. Wait, why I am worried about an object? Because Claudia's has frankenfurnitured them and made them real. Thank you Claudia=very…
