Blogging Backlog Logjam/Blogjam

Could not blog except for a few pieces for 3.5 months, received great varieties of wonderful mail art, and they need to be seen. These are my temporary guidelines for accomplishing this maybe impossible feat:

It says Art Is For Everyone, which is the wording of a rubber stamp I had made by some company. Hellllllp? Whoever figures…

From the big pile unblogged since December but which so deserve it:

Mont Blanc cubed and contained by Dean Marks

How did he do it? We thought he went simply to quietly celebrate his 39th birthday:

Striking way to visit and come home from Mont Blanc, eh? Most original--the ice cube kills me--as we've come to expect from Dean. Thank you, Dean, this mystified and…
