cool collage card from Down Under - nice images, textures, palette; thank you Helen.

wait, it looks like the international year of peace was... last century? well that explains a lot. i believe peace is still worth pursuing, tho, don't you?

and yes, too many of our leaders are donkeys; perhaps they all spent too much time on Pleasure Island when younger (Pinocchio)...

thanks for the…

Katerina forwarded this very appealing add-and-pass bookie to me, as she no longer does A&P stuff.

thing is - i'm not a good A&P candidate either; these projects often get buried under other Mail Art and end up being time capsules instead!

also, this bookie is really quite satisfying as is; let me know if you'd like to see…

two robins flew here from Belgium. these days, i often find it helpful to imagine the birds'-eyes-views of things...

a little list of action items, a couple of no-ET labels, and lots of resistance-flag stickers (as requested).

yes i received these a while ago; thanks non!

this intriguing juxtaposition of images raise lots of questions - could that be Sputnik? is that Andromeda chained to the rock? and what exactly is that Mr. Plummer is clutching? inquiring minds want to know

who needs coffee? love these bright colors, and all that detail; i feel like i'm riding a psychedelic merry-go-round!

thanks Jason (due to recent travel, i'm way behind with both posting and responding, but stay tuned - something will find its way to your mailbox…

i really appreciate Fike's feisty sense of humor.

my idea of a Toucan Breakfast is a bowl of crunchy Froot Loops (the bowl in the photo on the lower left appears to contain a chewy hybrid of gummy worms and Good-'n-Fruity) ];-)

+ a very snazzy…

sub # 6188

absolutely fabulous! the other side conveys Dickens' 'laughter and good humour' (sorely needed).

keep the subreal alchemy coming!

this card brings to mind a certain song (see my comment below).

some pretty cool artist- and rubber stamps on the other side of the card -…

two lovely creations featuring plain brown wrappers -

and the envelope…

charming winter scenes interrupted by a holy baby (although that wig is def not purple).

what you can't see in this photo is that there's a hole cut out of the original postcard, and the religious icon has been inserted there, which is why i'm writing 'holy baby' (aside from the halo, i mean). danke schon…

"Monkey III: Cappuccino II" (8/16) - 'Little monkey / Greenspace / Jump in the air'

this arrived along with a lovely multi-media postcard (both-sides-now shot) -

this could have been…

those nine words under the cube remind me of a postcard i had a loooooooong time ago, which read "i never expect my friends to be interested in what i do" - a good reminder from time to…
