wow, so this card was actually small enough to fit in the mailbox. i'm filing it under Eat Art/don't try this at home. merci Dean - enjoy those olympics 

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 -…

so thoughtful of Jimmy to send me a replacement head for the one that got ripped off William's postcard! i'll add it to my collection.

or maybe i should open a head shop...

ha ha ha - this second postcard completes the exquisite corpse  -

if you're so inclined, scroll back through my blog to see the head and shoulders postcard. during a less lazy moment, i will put them together and post as a comment here. merci beaucoup…

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…

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…

'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…

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…

wow it's been a while since i've seen a pterodactyl -[makes me think of Nilsson's "The Point"].

i'm definitely a fan of these Ukrainian stamps --

Lubomyr has a new address - i hope the move is a…

inside of this volcanic envelope, i found a homemade Add-and-Pass bookie featuring stunning papers, originating, apparently, from Coco Muchmore. let me know if you'd like to be the next recipient!

those random Korean stickers are pretty funny - are they meatballs? i have a fabulous recipe for Korean-style meatballs that i have committed to…

self portrait in two tongues?

oh, maybe William is sending me this head to make up for the one that disappeared from the recent postcard he sent... well, you know what they say about two heads, so thanks for this extra one…

unsolicited surprises from Posta Rica! the FluxFish is easy to spot, but can you make out the hidden message (hint: in the pink). Mail Art Not War is a good slogan. thanks for sharing Lisa; see you in the mail!

complete with (hidden) EAT ART theme!

who wants mail?

Bonzine #29 - Small Town News and a delightful cut up poem-card. the central circle implies that the latter was not made with full consciousness - surrealist? or perhaps more accurately, Searealist?

thanks Bonnie and yes let's make lots of art this…

love these Quotickets; they should be folded into the tickets we get at all those 'take a number' machines. and so cool to meet some (Correspondance Art) Ancestors; such groovy outfits.

but wait there's more! - "Dematerializing Our Alpine Lakes" appears to be some sort of collaboration between Crevicism Press and Cascadia…

envoyez des lettres indeed!

luckily i was home when this arrived; otherwise, i'm not sure how Fred le Facteur would have gotten it into our mailbox. simply charming and so artfully executed; merci beaucoup!

it's always cool when Mail Art arrives just out of the blue.

well, actually, this special tactile collage on corrugated cardboard arrived from Belgium.

thanks Francis; see you in the mail ]:-)

a meditation on American hubris (i wonder what song they are playing... "Those Were The Days", perhaps?)

William cracks me up: on the reverse side he has written 'i can't decide if i like this - or if it's just a hot mess'.

why not both?  [chuckle chuckle]

thanks dude ];-)

truly a red letter day ];-)

the eyes have it.

and then there is this illustration by Ariel Severino, along with mail art omens from the Republic van Patland.

obrigado…
