Buttoned up Kiwi from Amy Irwen.  The sewing machine lady keeps zig zaging away and producing these beauties.  I like the custom made buttons.

Thank you again Amy.

Scene VI of course is after scene V but not always in that order.  But what does this all mean you ask? 

Well ever pot of gold has its rainbow.  And ever rainbow has its Marie.

Thank you…

Away most of the last three weeks and way behind on thank-you's.  It was great coming home between trips and seeing my new treasures and wondering on the way back what I may have gotten.  Thanks to all who sent mailart my way

I just got back from a roadtrip that my girlfriend and I went on this summer. The two of us made it across the US, seeing new things and eating a lot of food. I just wanted to let everyone know that if you sent me something recently, it's going to take me a little time to get things organized. Above is what I've received.

I am going to make a…

I've received a bonanza of mailart from all these good people: Katerina Nikoltsou, Suan Walker, Mailart Martha, Claudia McGill, Dean Marks, Amy Irwin, Suus, and Richard Canard- thank you all. An inspiring range of art and messages. Photos to follow soon :>)))

The upper is created by ARTLIKEART, Florida, USA and the lower is made of Richard Canard, Illinois, USA.

Uncomplicated and clever beauties! Thank…

Dean has sent me some mail-art while I was in France. Since there was a flea market coming up that weekend I though it was a perfect opportunity to get some good cash. I was sure of the success of this project, as the piece contained some rare british mail-art omens, as well as a unique "Manoir aux Visons en Alsace" address.…

Pitter patter! splish splosh!  drip drip!  rain rainy rain rain!

I'm sure it doesn't need to be said who created this but I will anyway--Claudia McGill!!!!!  Love the bit of handwritten trash she has included in the bottom left. Her application of paint is magical. I could never achieve this look on a piece of junk mail.  Thank you…
