Carina's Blog – April 2012 Archive (21)

This is no ordinary comic strip, when Sarah is on the move it's often embroidery we are speaking about and this is no exception! Unfortunately my scanned picture doesn't really show where the embroidery is, but it's the black around the text and between the strips. Sarah is telling me that this work/comic strip is to be continued.. wonderful! Thanks…

Dean makes a profound lesson in drawing back to the violent prehistoric times. It can not go wrong, everything must be built up from scratch, even in the drawing?

If you look closer, you can see Dean's careful drawings on these strange nuts that no scientist has discovered yet...…

Don´t know how you did this piece, Janine, but it looks fabulous! It seems to be lot of layering, collage and acrylic medium, the structure is great to feel. Thank you!

PS The stamp is very sweet.

Useful wisdom one can't have too many! Love the simplicity and your stamps, thank you Katerina!

Thank you Erni!

Thank you Arttower!

I sent an MA with the question what's important to Nadine. She was kind to make a lovely list of some different statements, very good to have around when you lose focus ... on what's really important. Thank you Nadine!

1. Erni Bär, Germany, Thank you. Your use of German colors and cheap collage trashpo in your mail art is classic, love it.

2. Frieder Speck, Germany, Thank you. Love your lively drawings…

Marie sent me wonderful photographic mysteries. I'm lost in the world of Marie, everything is new. I'm trying to sort out the mysteries, but it's perhaps not the intention, best to just leave it as it is...

Thank you Marie!…

I believe that this work reflects Alicia's interest in creating new visions of fragments related to physical and artistic ideals. Both in a funny and seriously way..

This piece is a long double folded card containing collages, lines, painted plastic films and stamping. I love how the line works together with collages! Thank you…

Thank you Sue for wonderful envelope and blue tones!

and Thank you Cheryl for wonderful Mail Art Painting, I'm blessed! Cheryl writes:

Thank you Guido!

Thank you Cara!

Besides greetings from ZKK I received a lovely stamp on the Titanic and a Xbook "A Victorian Lady's Guide to Anti-Zombie Weaponary", very handy! Thank you Louise!…

I asked Dean to draw his own fantasy art space ...

Dean has not drawn, but spoken of his fantasy art space, the answer is the Eiffel Tower! I quote Dean: "But one day we shall make Mail Art on the top of the Eiffel Tower". Wonderful idea and wonderful art, thank you Dean!

Too late for rules now...

PS Do not panic, I will send you some quick drawing…

Colors work as music and Austin knows it! These paints hit me right in the heart! Is it liquid ink ...? I got a sudden desire to paint with vibrant colors, have to look for colors out of my drawers... Thank you so much Austin!…

Wonderful ATC and stamps, thank you so much Lisa!

PS Discover Lisa's great blog..!

Will has made mail art of Breton crackers package, a nice one, thank you so much! I love your careful handwriting and your collage which has a layout of a book cover. Breton crackers have really got a new look!

A fresh spring breeze from Greece. Katerina always seems to be in the painting mood, very good for us!

Thank you Katerina!
