Nancy sent a wonderful card, but first of all I have to show you her wonderful transparent envelope! I loved to see the waiting art already while getting the post out of the box!! 

The reverse side, also wonderful:

And the card…

I'm TERRIBLE behind with posting, so many IUOMA-friends sent me fantastic star-related mail-art as a welcome in my new home. From Lesley Magwood Fraser I received this absolute wonderful card with two sides (as so many things have): Face up or face down? I can decide which side fits better every day! I love it, Lesley, thank you very very…

Received my first trash-book from DK (Dekoder-rings on back order, she lets me know on the envelope!!!) - it looks fabulous and smells really good, whole work space smells now like it. I love it, Diane, thank you very very much! 

Some of my favorite pages ...…

Ultra-wonderful letter from Marie Wintzer. It's poetic and threedimensional with this red ribbon and a beautiful picture of a japanese woman is crossed by layers of text weaved into it. Fantastic, really!! I'm happy to have it and looked at it full of admiration. 

Thank you so much!

Here more picture to see its beauty: …

Nooo, too human are barcodes, funny card, variation on a barcode Op. 51, thank you, Dean, will send something soon. (and love your profile photo today!)

Just got a wonderful art out of the mailbox: Urban experiment from Cheryl Penn. It is a more than usual wide card to open up. There it a town (Zalop city??) and huge letters announcing the experiment. The texture is wonderful, thick paper, as if there might be something in between the inside and outside... The edge is whiped (??) with this iconic red filament CP and Marie use…

MMy first mail art from Samuel Montalvetti from Argentina arrived, it's a bag full of surprises!! I especially love his "etiquetas", and he send me the one I favorited a few days before - thank you, Samuel, I'm happy about it! 

But I like also a lot of the other stuff: …

I received Theresa Williams wonderful Asemics pages! They look great and I love the pen theme!! Thanks a lot!

 …

Great mail art from Cathérine Petré, i just can't decide what my number is, maybe the seven?? Thank you very much, Cathérine (and for the great stickers!! I'll use them immediately...), I like this very much. As always there was a wonderful corresponding envelope:…

Just when I wished for more Nancy-art I found this wonderful card in my mailbox. Nancy wrote that it was just too spooky to keep it and that she wondered, "To whom can I send it?" - I seemed to be quirky enough! I'm really happy to be quirkyfied!! I love it, the way the painting creeped (?) into the old paper, the fading colours... 

And I love the…

I know that DVS has already posted CPs Asemic #5 pages, but they are just so wonderful - and you can't see enough of them!!

Here's the envelope:

And a few of the great pages: …

One of Theresas cards with a dancing Halloween skeleton - very funny, thanks a lot Theresa!!

A few days ago I asked Frieder about a special kind of quill (?) with five forks, used in other times to draw the five lines for music notes. I have such a pen and couldn't draw more than 2 centimeters ... So he sent me an example with drawn lines and a little picture of a pet. It's wonderful like everything Frieder draws.

Great postcard from Jon Foster. Someone is happy about spilled milk, no homogenized mild! Thanks Jon, I like it very much!

Received two wonderwonderwonderful pieces from Nadine Wendell. This old photo with a family who looks very earnest. I love to think about what was on their minds, what future was waiting for them? 

And a postcard with a picture from Grand Wood, I knew only his famous pair of farmers, this one, Woman with plant, was new to me and I like it very much. Nadine wrote…

Received my first mail art from the boss!! Loom till dark! Can't decide if it's a poodle in a turtelneck or something much more darker?? 

The reverse side suggests "make strage" - ??  Cheryl, I already had a lot of fun with this wonderful card and the interpretation it implies. I go for the poodle! 

 …

Happy mail week for me: Diane Keys send me this great mail art as a surprise. The part on top (if it is the top) looks like an old anatomical drawing (or a river delta??) - it's wonderful, Diane, thank you very much!

After getting the postcard with notes from Cathérine last week I received this wonderful mail art from Nancy Bell Scott. I favorited and commented it a few days ago and Nancy wrote that it was already on the way to me at this time. I love this card because of the wonderful colours and the very special touch (??) Nancys cards have. And I love the tiny "Nancy" on the bottom…

Last week I received this wonderful card from Judith. If I got it right it's part of a bigger picture and a second card I received a few weeks ago belongs there too. So I'll start to collect and see if I'll get the big picture together. I love the colour and the special texture of Judith's cards very much (and look forward to her trifold pages...) 

On the other…

Received a wonderful envelope an card from Cathérine today (put it the mailbox in Belgium yesterday - rapid art!). The musical topic is announced on the envelope and on the other side there is a wonderful small IUOMA-sticker with a drawing from Cathérine and a cute little letter:…
