Creative creature cover!

As an application for my creature of the month contest Nancy Bell Scott sent me this wonderful book cover with two truly beautiful beasts. I searched for the  translation for this kind of dog and found "wiener dog" or "sausage dog" - funny. I really love this piece, can't really describe its presence but it is old and wonderful and as a book loving person it's very…

ZALOP gains further Fluxus Nuances - from Ruud Janssen.

Z.

I always think of Z at the back. The end of the alphabet. The lonely letter with the fewest words. I think Ruud has managed to change this with his Fluxus words. If we made a purely Fluxus Ruud Dictionary – I think Z is coming up top? ZALOP now has a series of variations:

ZALOP - the original Fluxus word given by Ruud meaning - ABSOLUTELY NO WAY DEFINITELY NOT NADA NIX.

ZALOPU -  A particular tone of ZALOP - the tone of NO WAYS!!!

ZALIP - This word comes with a…

Robbery suspects: Two of IUOMA's finest?

You be the judge: Interesting take on things posed on the envelope, too, about other IUOMA finests: Here we have "Miss Butts went swimming with her neck flotation device in Lake Erie, 1920," an absolute winner done by Nadine Wendell-Mojica:…

Thanksgiving ideas from Nadine Wendell-Mojica

This was so thoughtful of you, Nadine: New recipes for Thanksgiving! And an operation to make your skin crawl! Fortunately no one here lets me near the kitchen nor near physician's implements. Some great magazine photos of casseroles (the ones above? who knows?) follow, and I apologize that Nadine's rapidograph drawing (first attempt, she says! phenomenal) ended up accompanying…

Bordeaux Gloves Do Make It

More apparel, this from Dean Marks, sent un-enveloped from France: It was beyond smashing and hilarious to find this stiff red HAND in the mailbox yesterday. Somehow Dean made a cardboard cutout to fit this lovely Bordeaux-colored left-handed leather glove and got it in there, graced it with a large ruby-colored gem on the ring finger (gold band of ring is painted on and can be…

Brown Shoes Don't Make It

And because Erni Bar believes I have enough trash-brains (his term), he sent me his worn-out black shoes: He's right, and he sent these to the right person. Not only do I have a thing for worn-out shoes but Erni's worn-out shoes fit me! That's right, I'm wearing these babies. They're slightly big and wide--just how I like 'em. If Erni thinks these are worn out, one can only…

Announcement from Jen Staggs amongst the autumn flowers

Well, when you care enough to send the very best....

Now we've all seen Jen's FAB print on vintage paper, truly lovely.

A lovely way to announce to the world...oh, wait, she is NOT?

Just a FAB vintage pic to remind us modern-day ladies how lucky we are after the "revolution"!

Thank you, Jen! (But if it is…

To Have or Have Not

 I was doing amazingly well at keep track of who I sent mail art out to and who I received it from.  Then shiny objects hypnotized me and I lost track of who I've sent mail art to or responded.  So, if my lovely Mail Art Friends can tell me if they have received a piece from me in the last two months that will help immensely.  I know that I still owe Val a piece, Nadine, Diane, and Patricio Duprat.  Is there anyone else?  I haven't received a notification of mail that I sent from a few…

Fiber Artist Receipts

This time of year, it is we craftspersons--knitters and quilters and other artisans--who start to get a little shock of realization that we better get crackin' if we want to finish projects before the high winter holidays.  There are sweaters or hats or mittens or socks to knit, or wall hangings or new baby blankets to finish piecing and batting together.  It's a crazy time of furious fingers and stitches flying off needles.  Even more maddening, I have multiple family members with birthdays…
