'Natural Mail Art Ritual ' - another large-scale boomerang piece from Mike in SF. 

an alternate title might be  'Blood Sweat and Stars' 

double whammy (two mailings) -- a stuffed envelope and a sticker postcard... looks like a sticker or two fell off en route, but the card made it ok! thank you mr. M; watch your mailbox ]:-)

like water from Italy . . . and a coupla red mushrooms, too

thank you and stay safe over there in Lviv!

'Small Town News!'

but note the subtitle: I DO MAIL ART FOR THE MONEY AND FAME

and i want one of those new hair dryers that "comes complete with a human head", please

(you know, because two heads... and all that)

Happy Holidays, indeed (still catching…

more fun collage art from Dean, featuring the straws (and toothpicks!)- now gold-plated - from the cocktails we shared while meeting up in Paris (we'll always have Paris). merci Dean

cute marshmallow greeting card ... yes, here's to a fun 2023 Jokie!

hey, it's Lunar New Year, so posting this card from Jack seems fitting, not tardy at all ];-)

(that's quite a holiday greeter, Carien)

this is a debate worth paying attention to. i wonder if the time has come to keep mail art in the mail and off the web... what do you think?

new year, new wave - Mikel puts everything in perspective.

oui, meilleurs voeux right back at you; see you in the mail

hark! herald angels shakin' their tambourines!

and a dozen homemade stamps that appear to feature a death's-head moth with added extremities...

nice work; thank you Greg

holiday greetings and an assortment of 'mail omens' (some from the Sticker Dude); thanks Katerina - i'm STILL catching up; something will be headed your way soon! Happy New Year all over again ]:-)

may we all have an incredibly fantastic and artistic year!

[thanks to Susanne & Lars Schumacher for this terrific commemorative card; still a little puzzled as to how it arrived in my mailbox with no postage whatsoever... i guess both Germany and France have some art-friendly postal workers and/or diehard…

et voila! colorful ink blots, a darling holiday card, and a Kokoschka souvenir

merci Helene et bonne année!

a painting, a postcard, and another one of those hand-bound 'recycled' booklets -- 

in addition to my original envelope, this one includes DC's rough drafts, printed poetry from C. Mehrl Bennett, and a…

Christmas Tagging - (still going through my backlog of holiday mail)

i notice this was posted from Paris - happy trails, Dean; hope you are now back 'home' safe and sound.

self portrait no. 17: look closely; you can see Dean's eyes amidst the golden nuts.

telltale traces on the card lead me to believe that perhaps some actual almonds and/or raisins were glued on but fell off...?

you never can tell with nutty/fruity Dean; he favors 3D mail art and glue seems to be his signature substance…

a lovely homemade winter holiday envelope and card [yes, i am VERY far behind in posting, due to  travel] and a hint of cookies (which is better for my waistline, after all).

Danke Schön, Kate - und ja, more to come in 2023!

along with a Covid poem (not seen here) and some other stuff, Mim's end-of-year wave includes a post office post card - (everything old is new again) - an ATC featuring Grand Girl, and some circles, of course - what goes around comes around. thanks and belated Happy New Year to…

makes me think of those book-spine-poems. this was accompanied by a plethora of pleasant paper goods--

thanks and happy new year, my Dutch…

love those little fingerprint-xmas-trees! inside, a delightful handmade booklet made from envelopes and attachments --…
