spring-y honeycomb flower from across the pond - merci

very cool intricate postcard-size painting; there's even more texture that the camera can't capture. 

gracias Sonia

another artfully framed image of 'art in the window' (seen from the street).

this ongoing series of snapshots make me feel as if i'm on Oakland's coolest walking tour.

one day i'll have to line them all up together...

merci…

'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.
