i received Mail Art from Carien van Hest

Carien's been having fun with speech balloons lately. we are amused. 

[the snail mail card may end up with Mail Art Martha, as i believe she is hosting a Snailapalooza chez elle...]

i received Mail Art from Michelle Gendreau

so, this pink envelope bearing some sort of royal elephant contained several elements labeled 'en pieces detachees'. what's the opposite of a casse-tete? merci Michelle; a bientot.

i received Mail Art from Mail Art Martha

Foldi 29 arrived with a very intriguing paper swatch - its mysterious texture conceals all evidence as to how it was made. perhaps it is part of an alien vessel that the snails brought in from the garden?

the Queen of Retalia uses only the best stamps when she sends stuff out -…

i received Mail Art from Sabela Bana

the usual assortment of digital artworks runs the gamut from outer space to interior dreams, and some delicious baked goods topped with whipped cream and cherries remind us to Eat Art. judging from her output, i'm guessing Sabela goes through ink cartridges pretty quickly... gracias mi amiga…

i received Mail Art from Debra Mulnick

and Splat! just like that this ancient library 'Date Due' card and pocket and showed up. it is really important to update one's paradigm from time to time, so i'm glad this 1963 book "Our Widening World: the world in which we live" has been removed from the Cobre High School shelves to make room for more recent findings. of course history has its…

i received Mail Art from Adam Roussopoulos

'this is the point where i lost my mind' - no, if you can make stamps like these, you've still got it. bravo on such skillful execution! i do hope producing these brought about the desired conclusion (exorcism). i've always sensed that (Mail) Art can do…

i received Op/Mail Art from Jokie Wilson

these are all the same card - it's, um, ...lenticulated or some such? so it can change colors depending on the angle.while it's true that i mess around with the color when i post photos, that's not what you're seeing here; this time something was already happening before i did any adjusting. very cool card - and it brought to mind a mobile…
