'Harbor Nights' 

thanks Melanie for this lovely composition

[which arrived in this intriguing envelope --…

latest Eat Art! trashpo cards.

who wants mail?

a blast from the past: Johnny Sportcoat's 1963 write-up of the Gunnysack appearance/interview of Agnetta Gagness. and of course -

it was hand-delivered.

thank you…

trippy fractal postcard from my pal in SF, who always makes me chuckle

wow! two lovely, lovingly-handcrafted postcards, plus "Stumbled Upon", a striking little OPZ of photos -

- which make Taipei look extremely surreal -…

in the midst of moving, Katerina sends apples and oranges.

very appropriate, as i use Apple devices and have phone service through Orange. 

Eat (fruity) Art indeed

danke for this very cool postcard of ... glass? ceramic? object ... and the homemade mini-book about ancestry - cool project!

Jokie drops a line to say there's no place like gnome....

makes me think of the well-traveled gnome in 'Amelie'

a plethora of Mail Art omens including some FluxFish stamps, a Go-Go, pure milk fresh from the country, and ... yes i always find a shortcut! helpful. feels like the Easter Parade all over again.

thanks Greg; see you in the mail…

i always appreciate kitchen tips. this will have to be filed among my recipes... 

oh and i also like the postage - Train Wreck? well, yeah, sometimes it does feel like i'm using off-the-rail mail…

i love these crinkly collages from my Dutch friend.

that Carien; such a cut-up!

so many circles; my head is spinning (in a good way)

gracias Sabela

a veritable Easter parade of stuff from Mail Art Martha - or should i say Walmartha?

also makes me wonder: does Easter count double during the Year of the Rabbit? 'let them eat MORE chocolate!'

a special bonus is the smelly mushroom card from a packet of dried Porcini Martha says she purchased here in France - amazing, as i have not yet…

a pair of homemade postcards - i especially like the boomerang one on the right; Katerina repurposed my envelope and then embellished it with assorted stamps. 

many thanks and my best wishes for the relocation; hope all your mail follows you to…

i love how Nancy's exquisite collages hover between opacity and mist, legible and asemic, intention and chaos, jewel tones and jagged lines; de/re/constructing in front of one's eyes...

i so appreciate being invited into this hovering realm.

and how about this postage? these stamps make me want to dance.…

believe it or not, this Bon-Zine got here a while ago, wrapped up in a spectacular wedding ceremony; thanks!

'Coffee Clutch' complete with Walmarth insert.

"Make Art. Live Better" is a great motto.

my kind of cup of joe, Jack. 

'La Vie secrète des Mots 13' which features a collage by JeanFi - tres chic; merci!

large tagged piece - looks about the size of six A4 sheets

Moon In Mail Art Ritual, according to Mike.

his echo re-postings are kind of like looking in a fun house mirror

and could this be considered a Fluxfish?…

Exhibit D sends off a long necked bird to deliver --

 'the silver concubine', rescued and repurposed from a Little Free Library
