Rani sends along an impressive (potential Add-and-Pass) Bookie full of stamps and vintage paper-phenalia -

i'll (eventually) do my best to continue decorating and send it along to ...…

well Hello Dolly! and the second postcard is simply Divine!

William's compositions are always impeccably executed, and his envelopes always feature funny washi tape and colorful Taiwanese stamps -…

actually, this appears to be a collaboration between Wolverine and Deadpool ];-)  the funny thing is: a copy of the postcard she sends has been sitting on my overcrowded bookshelves for a while now - i believe i picked it up at the Carreau du Temple years ago...

so who is this mysterious Aude/Laure? and does she really live at…

wow! 

pretty sure this is the largest piece i've ever received (even larger than Mike Dyar's constructions) - i've included that sports water bottle as a reference point. fantastic!

and of course Zygimantas contributed, too --…

the master of naked mailings sends along two fantastic (and thick!) collage cards (these are both-sides-now shots). i love those multiple images of our last meet-up - we look almost as happy as those two guys on the upper right card. it's time to get together again and produce some more collaborative mail art! stay well till then…

another fine assortment of imagery from Sabela, who appears to be (almost)* totally mended from her recent injury; check out the bottom row - flux fish and flux fist! gracias mi amiga.

terrific collage card from the mysterious Maria Q from Argentina; yes, sometimes the journey goes beyond the map, and sometimes the map goes beyond the mount... gracias por el recordatorio 

maybe it's a very hungry turtle; what do you think?

the other side of this delightful card features (flux)fish cut from the same marbled paper.

are William's hands ever still? i wonder...

so crisp so clear! and it's always fun to see a new rubber portrait ]:-)

grazie Cinzia

such a great composition, in every which way... thanks CvH xo42025

this is quite a treat - musical programming for the rest of the year ];-)

i'm grateful to be included, and looking forward to the artistic synesthesia that will be induced by sampling everyone's choices. 

thanks non for putting it all together; quite a…

ya know, when i feel like i might not be playing with a full deck, Mail Art is there to supply the rest of the cards ...

so, some very cool cards (a both-sides-now shot) from the Republic van Patland. 

this one's my favorite:…

wow, this was the last piece of mail i received in 2024. this doesn't mean there aren't more holiday greetings yet to be blogged, but at least now i'm only exactly one month behind in terms of receipt/blog lag. sigh. it's hard out there for a Mail Artist (documentarian)...

holiday greetings and a complete update from Magogo; sounds like he's having a…

a tatted mandala lends texture to this colorful card with vaguely biological allusions; gracias Sonia

final Foldilope from 2024 - (these are always a challenge to open, but in a good way) - plus a lovely druidic card celebrating the winter solstice. sounds like Ali, the Queen of Regalia's royal cattitude, has been acting up lately. i never saw a green cat, i never hope to see one... (with apologies to Gelett Burgess). thanks Martha,…

i'm smiling even before i open the envelope ];-) 

three first class ATCs; gracias mi amigo.

now those are some serious stares. pity the photo can't capture the metallic glintings of Hester's creations. 

and another holiday bonus pack - this time, BD-related ephemera:

Mail Art With…

a UPCerealist (!) work + a little green holiday tagalong from Greece. here, the studio has slipped into slow motion, but as long as there's holiday mail (art), i'm still celebrating. taking the long, slow view...

Katerina put out quite a spread with some Eat Art! omens and a side of stamps -…
