Ruud Janssen: Tamned to be a Tourist

My first ever Mail Art from Ruud. But it looks like more work. Does everyone but me have rubber stamps?

Thank you Ruud

MomKat: Happy Birthday Robert Zimmerman & Happy Summer in Seine

Well it looks like we missed Bob's Birthday. Too bad as we could have sat around the camp fire singing Woody Guthrie songs. Led Zepplin rules!

It was on the 24th of May that Bob Dylan turned a ripe old age of 72.…

Stripygoose Sue: Bit Fishy and Whacky duck has found her glasses!

I know, I know, sometimes tourist and non-Mail Artists can not see the wood through the trees.

So the tourist didn't see the big fish on the right. However what you don't see is that Elvis is standing on a small island on the left waving hello. It surely is a strange world.…

Marie Wintzer: Two Book Covers

Book covers are in. They are the new trend. But could you take one from the shelf and do this? And two are better than one.

Thank you Marie, if you are out there. Your ideas will never end.

Jay Block: Helmund province harvest festival

So this is where "Block Party" got its name. Just click your heels and repeat after me; There's no Mail Art like Jay's , There's no Mail Art like Jay's.

Thank you Jay

Sarah Churchill: Unusual new shape

So you've seen her videos, bought the the same T-shirt she is wearing, and were amazed by all the unusual things she received for her birthday. But did you ever think that you would get something very unusual back from Miss Little Bo Peep? Well this Mail Art piece had me Styrofoaming at the mouth. (I think that mean it was good.)…

Cristina Blank aka 5 Blanks: I want you to send Mail Art

Yes this one had me puzzled for quite some time. It arrived without a return address and no name.

A very unique style and very pleasing. Of course the bar code is the finshing touch and sets the whole balance into movement.

I had to look very close to see if I could work out which Mail Artist could have done this. In the end I took a looking glass and…

Cathérine Petré: The right to make noise

This drawing is so alive I can just hear him pounding out "Smoke on the Water"
Or maybe "I shot the Sherif" due to the holes at the top. In any case, it's the right stuff for me.

Thank you Cathérine, so happy to see you back and in tune.

Willemien Visser: Welcome 2 Europe

Newly installed in Germany and ready to make a name for herself at the post office.

How to travel to Germany by rent a truck. Sounds like this book could be a best seller.

Thank you Willemien & the best of luck in your new…

Diane Keys: 9th Wish Raffle

This one will go down as a classic. It's wonderful.

Thank you Diane, but when your number is up ... the tough get going?

Jon Foster: Perfect some Mail Art to show and tell

I did receive this a while ago and thought I would have time to finish it while I was in America. But it didn't work out that way. This is going to be a hard one for sure.

Thank you Jon, I'll see what I can do.

Ana Kawajiri in Brazil : Sandalia button

And there it is folks, the Sandalia button. It's in the bag. Or should I say, on the bag. In any case, it fits the picture.

A Pan Am airplane? I remember them.

Thank you Ana, great button…

Erni's Mummy says: All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go ...

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go

I'm standin' here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn

The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn

The adventures of Erni's Mummy begins. …

Rebecca Guyver: A book, it's your turn now

Rebecca Guyver in her younger years was that shy little girl in the back of the class with the horn rim glasses. Those days have gone, and today Rebecca is an outgoing Mail Artist, painter and artist-educator. Her work can be found in mailboxes around the world, and I was lucky enough to have one drop into mine.

Signed, sealed & delivered: My turn now? …

Guido Vermeulen: The inner Mirror Part II et hommage à Mme Fourez et the return of Spring

I think I discovered a long time ago that Guido's titles rarely have anything to do with his drawings. I always thought that this was a great idea and use a similar system sometimes myself.

One way is to open up a book and use the title of a chapter. Lately I used "The black spot" from Treasure Island. Yes one of those books I chopped up. It was a nice hard cover illustrated one as well.

Sometime I wish I could draw like Guido.…

S. St John aka Tofu: Hide some art in a book

OH Dear, I'm not sure how Tofu is going to like my next series. While I'm busy tearing apart very nice old hard back books to use in mail art, Tofu is making some lovely little pieces of art to hide inside books. Will our worlds ever meet?

A great idea, and I hope it works. Still Mail Art Friends? Next on my chopping block is "The Quotable Churchill". Going…

Cristina aka 5 Blanks: Mailart Manicx

The envelope alone was great enough, but the icing on the cake was inside.

Hand painted self portrait. Who could ask for anything more? But my guess it that this is not a self portrait. Maybe just another one of those blanks.…
