The journey to Ithaca - from Katerina Nikoltsou

The words of Constantine Cavafy have inspired Katerina to make this absolutely FAB booklet. The gift of a poem delicately wrapped in precious textures.

When you start your journey to Ithaca,

then pray that the road is…

Rabbit call - from Deborah Davidson

The queen of etegami is calling. This is the year of the rabbit, and since I am a rabbit myself I might try to participate to this one.

Thank you very much Debbie, great card as… Continue

Food so fresh - from RCBz

A crazy funny postcard from RCBz on the menu today. I have to confess, I like my sushi to be of the extreme freshness, but I never suspected that this could actually kill me. I'll take the warning, RCBz.

It is true that the japanese are somewhat obsessed with the freshness and aesthetic perfection of their food. But whatever the (deeper) meaning of this card might…

The family puzzle / Tapestry of life - from Cheryl Penn

Another super-galactico mail from Cheryl Penn has made it to my lucky mailbox. No angry in here, says the envelope (laugh!). I hear you, Cheryl...

The puzzle of family unfolds, complex and rich, beautiful and mysterious. This is another one of those pieces I just couldn't stop taking pictures of. Gorgeous!…

Tokyo nights nr1,2 - for Michalis Kotsaris, Carla Cryptic

I have of bunch of A3-size photos of Tokyo that I used for a couple of small exhibitions a few years ago. They are just uselessly lying in a drawer since then, I think it's time to cut them up and send them around. There will be a lot of those in the mail in the next weeks.…

A piece of Aussie Land - from Helen Amyes

My first ever envelope from Australia arrived last week. Until now I only admired Helen's work on other people's blogs, but I am now the proud owner of one of her cards. A big slice of Australia for me, starting with the kangaroo envelope (love it!).

The card is a book page decorated with painting, postal stamps, rubber stamps? (not sure) and... one of Helen's silky…

Fluxus Bucks and Haptic/Asem(en)ic poem à la sauce Grigstaire - from Grigori Antonin

This week I got a bit richer. Grigori sent me these very colorful Fluxus Bucks. I had to check out what they actually are, and found a whole world of arty bucks. As you probably know there is a group dedicated to them on IUOMA and hosted by Ruud Janssen, check it out here. These seem to be from Julie Jefferies aka. ex posto facto, miss Fluxus Bucks herself. A couple of them seem pretty "done", I might send them back to…

Corgi Feet decopatch card - from Angie and Snooky

My scanner be damned again, I don't think you can fully appreciate the textures of this card, unfortunately. This is the second mail I was lucky to receive from Angie and Co, and if I'm not mistaken it is a "give what you get" in answer to my…

My stamps back and much more - from Karen Champlin

An envelope with the Art Nation stamp is always a promise of something mind blowing, and I think this is one of Karen's very best. A simple cardboard offcut turned into the most beautiful piece of art. Well, I don't think it happened just like…

My God, what have I said now? - from RCBz

Another fun and elaborate postcard from RCBz, I was missing them. East and West are never far apart in RCBz's world, trying to cope with each other when not battling. The card and its back side have a strong comic strip flavor, but the theme is actually…
