And the trip in Time and Space and Fantasy continues with this envelope from Cheryl. After reading the mysterious message on the back of the envelope I couldn't wait to open it.

What was urgently sent to me was..... a piece of Cinderella's…

Katerina is truly the boss of all Sandpo. Her latest sandpaper (book cover, you can't see it on the photo) creation is one of the very first asemic trashpo bookies.

I think I got it now. One of the reasons why Cheryl is such an outstanding artist is because she is also a very good storyteller. Almost anything will sparkle her imagination, and her ability to create new stories knows no borders.

But just like her books are not "orthodox" books, her stories aren't either.

Sometimes you hold a book in your hands and you don't understand a word of it, and strangely, it makes it even better! 

Lesley is sending me this gorgeous little book based on Sir Gowain and the Green Knight, a 14th century poem relating the adventures of a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. 

I am copy-pasting a piece from Google because I…

This is the date Karen wrote on the back of the card, adding to the mystery of it. Maps, train time tables, red thread, black tape. Are they going to give me the answer to what happened on that day? 

Thank you for sending, Karen, your great cards are always muchly appreciated!

Heart really matters for Katerina, we know that, and we know how good she is to us at IUOMA. Cheryl, Angie, and I think Lesley have already written a nice blog about her Heart Matters bookie, so this is slightly redundant, but can one ever have too much Heart Matters? I don't think so...

 …

Although this is my first envelope from her, Theresa must know my love for vintage and antique. And actually, more than an envelope, this was a very delicately wrapped present, what a fantastic thing to get in one's mail!

 …

Heart Matters so much that it needed a few additional boekies from Cheryl, and I am the VERY lucky owner of one of them! As Cheryl says, the more it Matters, the Better.

With ensuing Consequences.

Every time…

When I saw Nancy's work featuring on several blogs I was hoping to receive something from her, and I didn't have to wait for a very long time, her first envelope arrived this week, lucky me.

Nancy dug up an old box full of of antique print blocks and stamps from her attic, check out her blog if you haven't seen it yet, it is very impressive. She started to use and…

I met David last year when he was a guest researcher in our lab for a month. Those were really good times, we had fun. Towards the end of his stay we found out about our common interest in photography, went out on a great photo walk (that cemetery with cherry blossoms, for those who have seen the picture, was taken on that day), and had ridiculous photoshopping…

This is one of my favorite postcards. The scanner really did a lousy job because it didn't know how to deal with the contrast between the matt paper and the piece of transparent film, but I can tell you that it looks great in real life. The photo reminds me of old pictures of my grand parents working in the fields, and the questions and puzzling faces leave it open to a…

After I picked up this card from the mailbox and reading it while taking the stairs I was so taken by the story that I ended up at the fifth and last floor in front of the landlord's door :-)) and back down again....

David is such a talented storyteller he must be known way beyond the borders of IUOMA. I let you enjoy the story...

The ink splash drawing (I'm…

Word lovers will be thrilled today (as I was), Cheryl is sending me three absolute goodies, putting on the balance text and image and how we perceive them. The first of them, "How text and image lie", was the original piece, which gave rise quite rapidly to additional thoughts and ideas, new work to complete her concept.

My first thought when I opened the…

I've had this piece by DW for several months now but it got lost in the middle of a jar of seasonal pickles. I think it is time to bring it back to daylight because it is quite a remarkable piece.

This was an early Cherry Blossom Asemic, and the only one of the series that I actually received. I am very fond of the colors, the delicate beauty of the asemic writing,…

Lesley is sending me a wonderful bookie, her Heart Matters, which shows again all her talent of drawer and book artist.

The book can be flipped and viewed horizontally or vertically, depending on the page and your mood.

Lesley's Heart is a truly physical and palpable organ. Just like any other organ, it has its own physiology and rules, no way around…

You might have seen similar pieces by Cheryl on IUOMA blogs all around the world, but the thing is, each of those booklets is a truly unique piece of art. An exploration deep into the flow of ideas, an idea in its own right.

A wonderful little boekie from Karen Champlin, arrived without the slightest damage, for a change, thank you postal service :-))

Karen used a variety of different materials and textures, cardboard, fabric, string, copper, book pages, maps... holy family pendant? (I can't exactly tell what it is). I love the vintage train timetable and the way she does the layering. Beautiful work Karen, as ever, thank you for this little treasure!…

I'm just back from holiday and swimming in mail art, which is very nice of course, but I don't know how to blog all this without going crazy. So, I think there will be a few grouped blogs for a while (and I will also reply to your mail as soon as possible, please bear with the slow CB).



First a piece of Summer Sandpo (Swiss cheese?) from Katerina. I've had a few Sandpo cards from Katerina and I can tell she used the very hardest type of sandpaper, the super hyper haptic one. I'm an…

Ether is one of Cheryl's favorite words, and after meeting it several times in our conversations I became fascinated by the concept behind it. Ether is a word that is so multilayered that it is impossible to simply give one definition of it. This word needed a book! We started exchanging chapters for it, in an experimental "let's see where this goes" kind of…
