Dean aka Artist in Seine's Blog (986)

Magnificent ink drawing from Suus.  I can't stop from gazing into it.  It's hypnotique !

Suus tells me that it takes her about an hour to complete one of these little babies.  It is part of her meditation of the day.  What a great…

I like numbers so this title is right up my alley.  I always think that works of Mail Art should have names, but numbers stimulate the thought process as well.  Like who received part 2 / 6 and how can we really be sure that there are only six parts? 

     But look deeper into all the detail; who’s marriage invitation is on this piece, and is the walking trail 13 via Garn…

A real treat arrived from the Stripygoose herself.  It is 123 of 365, but then what happens after 365?  Do you have to pay Andy for an extension?

     I am told that an UK postcode (zipcode) narrows it down to only a few streets of the address.  This also…

Another level above me.  A great poem which I put into Google translate and really got confused.  I found that DADA doesn't translate, but the barcode does.

This is the envelope and a post card of Ana's work from 2004.…

You saw the photos, you read the blogs, but now the Mail Art is the real proof that Katerina & ViZma met up in Greece.  And the mixing was carefully controlled.   Katerina on the front and ViZma on the back, but then again it depends which side you pick up first.

Includes airline baggage tags, food ads and the receipt for a new swimming suit.  LOOK OUT…

As you may have guessed, the tale of the lost dog was behind him and he could not see it due to his long hare.

I enjoy looking at this piece which has more details that the scan can not pick up.  Very fun.  Thank you Angie.

A landscape of sand paper with the setting of a beer cap to light up the evening sky.  Now how fab is that?  Well here it is, and it looks better than the real thng.

My guess is that the red sand paper was imported from Germany.  The bar codes are just an extra.  Thank you…

It looks like Vizma arrived in Riga, and being such a nice sister, purchased her brother some D&G after shave most likely in a duty free shop.  And being the nice MAil Artist she is, I got the box.

Just for information, I use ARMANI eau pour homme, and not after…

A wonderful piece where Amy broke down a  larger handpainted collage to made this one. The sewing puts it all totally together. And it arrived in this funky envelope made from an old calendar of guitars.  How many people have calendars of guitars?

Well just for you information, this one is a Stratocaster which is one of 100 that were handpainted by Pamelina H.

Maybe Erni gave the German post office the slip, but I'm sure they will find him some day!  I have no idea what this could be, but I'm sure Erni can explain, and then Janine can give an even better explanation.  This should be good.  Watch this space.

The flip side has greetings from Hamburg.…

When I was in London, I had the chance to meet in person Mail Art Martha and see her famous Shopping Trolley Art Gallery.  We both agreed that there is no reason not to share these moments with other Mail Artist, but also the whole world.

     I hope you enjoy this new star of the silver screen in her acting debut.  Here is the link: http://youtu.be/oQlUFrpRUvU

Long long time ago in a far far away island, I received this Pirates book from Amy, but only got the chance to blog the first page.  http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/yo-ho-mate-amy-irwen-comes-ashore-with-this-delightful-pirates?xg_source=activity

I always knew that this book deserved a complete blog, and my ship came in.  Read on if…

And the story continues:

What a book, and what a story.  Thank you Amy.

Just in case you were wondering where is was, David's "A" turned up in Greece.  The "A" you see on David's profile photo is from 20 years ago ... ok, lets say 5.  Yes that's it, only five years ago.

Copyrights: Photo by a passer by, I think she was wearing an Eiffel Tower on her head.  Color enhancement by unknown photo editor, which could be the same person, but without an Eiffel Tower on her head.…

I received this one from Susan last week and it has been sitting on my desk since.  It just sits there looking at me.  For some reason I like to find names for Mail Art.  Susan doesn't name her pieces of art, and this gives me the opportunity to name it for her.  So after a week I came up with several names.  Unknown, Untitled, and stringing in the rain.  But in the end I thought…

Svenja Wahl pulls out a funny one to equal the score.  Another Gold medal for Germany!

Thank you very much, I'm still giggling.

Another wonderful cut up from Cheryl, and a story I could understand.  Finally, she has come down to my level!

Which part is mine?  The hunt continues ...  mine has a bit of an orange circle, a piano keyborad, and a harp.

A great story, but I…

The start of a long voyage with Thom begins here.  Fly into Seattle and you'll never want to leave after reading this Trashpo book.

And you are ever so right, Beware of ferries that offer you a ride in their car.  Yell, "Danger stranger"  Except for Dame Mailarta in Victoria.…

And the story continues over water.

I'm sure everyone has a Canoe story.  Some should never be mentioned in a Trashpo book.  Yes, there are limits to Trashpo.

Sail away for 7 days.

Ah now you're talking.  The best way to…

The Car, where would we be without it now.  So open says me.

At last the car.  At one time it was "The great American dream" to own a car.

The last page and sign off, but wait there is more.  Bits that have fallen out of the Trashpo…
