TV Noise...it's everywhere!!!

and the latest, Over-Powered. I always smile when they say Finland, thanks lots Carina! :)…

A beautiful card from Carina made my heart skip a beat. It is a photo transfer - I am still mystified as to how this is done - and a wonderful juxtaposition of what looks like a Chinese factory worker making what - orange rugs? opposed to a bunch of white men in suits in what could be courtroom. They are looking at something or somebody outside the frame. I love…

Folks, I am happy to announce that Trash Bubbles are making a splash in the world!

When I first began creating these self-contained ecospheres of trash for my…

Oh yes I remember you.  You were the first skiier that Carina sent me.  And now you are here again with all your friends.  One can never have too many skiiers on Mail Art.   For those of you who did not go the Finnishing school, the cartoon says: "inch by inch they penetrate the valley"  "just quietly…

The first TrashPo Bubbles posted on Friday, prompting the question, "What is a TrashPo Bubble, anyway?"

A little back story is needed here: The first piece of…

Carina Granlund almost claimed that this is one: 

Her transfer tragedy is WAY less tragic than the one I sent her in our trade. This thing is unwittingly masterful, and I love it. Well, she did admit to me privately that maybe the white paint ended up helping.

Here is her note on the other side, which is included mainly because there IS a mistake in it, in the…

At first I didn't know how to take this card.  A man with two women in his arms, and a warning at my own risk.  I thought; "What does Carina take me for, two women at the same time, and blondles none the less?"

And a stiff warning to boot!…

I received a picture post card of the village of Carina Granlund.  One the back of the picture it reads; "Taken on the 13th of August 1983, the day there was no snow on the ground."  What can I say?  Get me on the next plane for Finland!

These are so late to blogging, as I got behind (again), that we have seen them several times now, and in better shape than my scanner sometimes handles art. But I loved receiving this POSITIVE yes envelope from Carina and the intriguing enclosure: 

(Scanner freaks out at transparent neon, darn it.) Thank you very much, Carina!

Theresa's poignant "small things"…

Arttower and his cutie pie robots, I especially like the peak around bot on the back.  Thanks for sending me one of these Arttower :)

Carina sends a message saying "When things get complicated REMEMBER YOU are a mailartist!" I'll…

Drawing lessons from Carina Granlund.  Training schedule included!

So I spent the weekend doing my drawing lesson while listening to Finnish language CD’s.  So far I can draw a wavy line and say; “Do you have any Bananas?” in Finnish.  It’s a start. …

This is my first mail from Carina, and very nice interpretation of the song I can see clearly now. I always like her letters and the way she turns them into great mail art. Seeing more clearly, yes, for sure I would like that. Thank you very much Carina!…

"What's on your mind II", but I think it's "What's on your mind too", as what I am finding our about Carina, is that she is very clever, and being snowed in for 9 months of the year and seeing the Northern lights on a daily basis plays tricks on her mind ... too.

I had to look it over more than once as I really think that the skier looks like me, and I was wondering where she could have obtained a photo of me other than on that Rugby calander I posed for a few years ago.  Yes, ladies,…
