There is a FOURTH collaboration for a TLP with John...in BLUE, of course :-)

It came in the second packet that arrived today.

Along with several other little TLPs...(see more in the other blog :-)…

These amazing A4 sheets of stampinigs were created by Claudia: PAZ!

This might be with stencil? But very dynamic effect!…

Always a joy to see Rubber Stamp Art on John's envelopes.

His self-portrait, too!

And the envelope was full of…

Mail-art by Uli Grohmann (Munster, Germany)

November 3, 2014 - I am thrilled with this invitation to participate in a project hosted by German mail-artist Uli Grohmann. He created a wonderful MinXus stamp some time ago (see…

A yarn yarn time ago, there was a young lady in Greece that wished for time to stop.

Sadly time didn't stop nor did her creativity.  I like this one and give it an A++

Thank you…

Great pattern from New York... <read more>

John sent three copies of the collaboration booklet for Guido,

he has added his wonderful visual poetry, a bit of "hhaptic", and stunning color!…

A collaboration with John, has to be in BLUE, too, yes?

"The Dimmer Flame"...John's calligraphic poetry is on my blue acrylic

"etched" painted  papers. 

Enjoy the read:…

This is one of three "tacky little pamphlets " ...TLPs, I call them "bookies", too :-)

It is a collaboration in GREEN, and John sent 3 copies

(there is also one set in BLUE and a special one for Guido, too)…

And it had a slew of collabs and John M Bennet 'solo' pieces!  

A HUGE thank you to John for a stuffed envelope full of collaborative bookies! I've chosen a page from each to entice you with! I hope to add to this blog when I have a bit more time and scan them in their entirety. Treasures.…

It seems South Africa's postal workers may not quite fit the kindly image of the jolly postman - there have been 167 reported incidents of serious strike related violence since the postal strike started 11 weeks ago. But the strike may soon be over - the union had dropped its demand to a 7.5 % wage increase which the post office is amendable to - but there are 2 remaining issues - backpay (ie: when the increase is to be implemented from) and also the post office's commitment to making…

What could this be?

A tunnel or walkway in a subway, metro?

blocked with something in the mid-ground?

Very unsual view of things,

thanks Sub-Real Alchemy!…

Always fun to receive from Samuel Montalvetti in Argentina, and here is one of my envelopes

returning with Thess postage stamp and many stampings by Samuel and me:…

In searching for some artwork done in Japan , I came across a series I did a while ago while living in Tokyo called "Tokyo Diaries". and some later drawings from last year. Even some of my current work seems to have a Japanese influence, something which has happened quite naturally whenever I start using inks. These…

Great to hear from my friend Vizma with a very unique card inspired by a shrine in Japan. I assume she's been there on holidays, in Kyoto amongst all the culture and temples. I'll have to send her some Japanese inspired mail in return.…

Now WHAT MIGHT BE in this a larger-than-A4 envelope,

with EAT ART stamped on it :-) ..and from the USA with contents…
