Can't believe it's been sooo long!
I'm so distracted. I blame it on the pandemic. Why not? That's why I have a BIG pile of incoming, un-responded to mailart on my studio table. I'm trying to do better. Really I am, but any suggestions on how to tackle this would be appreciated.
In the meantime -
I've taken Facebook off my mobile phone. Step in the right direction. I didn't disconnect totally because I enjoy the mailart groups on their and seeing what all my cousins and their families are up to (the ones who…

Where are they?
I've been on a quest to find Vic Jonez/Dan Horta. Anyone remember him, anyone hear from him, what happened to him. Also, I had mail returned from Fluxus Post in Canada. Anyone know them?
I get attached to people, even if I've never met them in any other way except the Post.
Also, …

a nice Sunday activity
Lucky me, my spouse brought coffee to me while I was in bed reading this morning. Nothing on my schedule, my calendar blank, which is the new normal. After some time, I went into my studio and starting to cut words out of a magazine I thought I'd keep then decided to recycle. Oh, and a bunch of circles in two sizes. It was so satisfying to do this. So I made a few small random word poetry collages. …

4 cards today
I was sitting in my studio watching the video of our daughter's zoom wedding that took place on 7 July. It was such a sweet memory of this event, which they'd pulled off in only 4 days! And covered many times zones around the world. I grabbed some supplies and made these four cards - standard postcard size. I think I'll save them for an idea I have for a small art exhibit in front of our house. My plan is to put up a string and clip small art to it for people…

Something Happened - not shells, ROCKS!
Who stacked the rocks remained a mystery.
They became a tourist draw,
but a longer route
had to be found over the mountains.
That was…

Shell series - yet another

Shells - again
An enormous shell appeared one day. No one knew who put it
there or even HOW it was put there. It was quite an inconvenience.
Too heavy to move, it remains there.…

Shell series - ongoing
On the reverse -
The giant shell emerged so slowly that the yachts remained afloat.
It stayed there for ages, drifting slightly. No one was sure how to prepare for it's leaving,…

Shell series - ongoing
On the reverse,
When the daily shell hunters arrived at the bench, their astonishment was palpable. No one knew how to carry away the giant shell nor where they'd display…

Landscape Beautification Project
For a long time, I've been altering vintage postcards, usually fairly boring ones, with the addition of a piece of art. I have a lot of fun finding just the right piece, with the right angle, to set into the landscape. This is one I did last fall. I'd popped it into a storage drawer, forgot about it, and am now sending it out. Finally, in 2020. Can you spot the addition? …
