Autumn flowers hold a week's Mail Art.

My red-violet autumn flowers like the mail art that arrived during the week while I was traveling. Here is the perfect blue-taped-envelope from Karen Champlin and inside, a wonderful ATC! There isn't a map fragment, but I so spot the front of a gondola from Venice printed there or is that an asemic symbolThank you, Karen, 'love the "Lό ve", too!…

Mucho mail art from the gals, too!

Super beautiful collage from Karen Champlin, as always! And my favorite detail: map fragment! (Well that bird, vintage train schedule, and poem are all tops, too!). But location must be Ohio, yes? Youngstown, Ohio? And that train from Boston to Braintree...let the imagination travel. Thank you, Karen!…

ART NATION from Karen Champlin

Always a joy to see a "Karen card" in the mailbox! A bit of "artful...artfully" and textured rubbings,

even her finger print, as we dance across the stamped landscape of art Nation.

And in the  corner....Karen knows,

add a fragment of a map…

From Queen of Asemics, Karen Champlin...beautiful!

Another stunning layered collage from Karen was in my mail box today...(actually 2 cards from Karen!)

"W" is the unknown known of her asemic piece. And the scan does not do justice to the fine textures and colors of the papers, but they are FAB! Vintage penmanship writings in the background make for a gentle asemic landscape.

The the other card, small in size ,…

Two dynamic tablets from Karen...speaking volumes!

How amazing is the work of Karen! And each piece is unique and more dynamic than the earlier ones received.

These two are "companion" pieces, as it is "my man with the blue beret" and his "house". Asemic writings are

stamped throughout and haptic textures abound!…

Special purple packet from Karen today! Many, many thanks!

Sometimes, when a package like this arrives, you almost don't want to hurry to open it. It is better to linger and spend time with the details of the envelope, the soft refineness of the wrapping...let anticipation built a bit, because you just know that itis going to be something special from Karen!

ART NATION is a give-away clue...guarded through the postal…
