A beautiful re-purposed CD... "Clouds"....  A great idea - I love it Kat....

Mary, this is a totally FUNNY card...what a great subject matter..."the topic of the day is hair"…

This is awesomeness from Val...I love the old paper from a story...so, so cool!

Inside is bits of stationary rose and floating works...the envelope of made of of both the old story paper and heavy duty tape...this piece made it thru the mail…

Emmy these are so beautiful and I am very lucky to have received!  The oranges and coppers with the splash of silver on the envelope is awesome!!!

This piece came wrapped in outer plastic for posting, with another layer of painted paper keeping safe the beautiful card that was hidden iniside...

The outer plastic was a bugger to get off, so it ended up in the trash, but everything else was in tact, and luckily the stamp and address were on the inside layer...

"waiting in…

Laura, thank you for the "cup of tea"...I LOVE your fantastic cut-outs.... *!*

A wonderful Valentine Card; very touchable with different layers...Thank you Katerina!

Love "the View from Within" .... the paper feels like vellum and is thin and fragile; the words peek out from within the layer of a green wash...You can see where the PO machines took a bite out of the paper as it went through...It kinda adds a third-eye effect...

Thank you Kerri *!*…

The Banana Family strikes again....another ski trip accident...good thing the labrador was there to pick up any left over pieces...

Love all the detail Dean...Super work....  *!*

Do you think the Banana Family should try another…

Nadine what a beautiful card you sent...I love all the Flutterbyes escaping to fly free...just like a mental block finally finding its way into the light...Thank you so much...

Thank you so much Brent for all the delicious mail art that come in one envelope...…

A small envelope with lots of exceptional goodies...I always enjoy Samuels mail....there is never just one piece to ooh and ahh over!…

Minimal but grounded architecturally...I am in awe of how little speaks so loudly...thank you Jungyoun *!*

Received a whole "goodie" envelope from CZ including an ATC which is posted on "ATC Rebel's"..thank you CZ

Sue sent me this gorgeous Holiday card.  The paper has so much texture and the colors just chased away the Winter Blues when I opened it...Thank you so much Sue!

A beautiful piece by Jon in his tape transfer style...I love that you can see people's heads just in the background.. is it the "written" word or can you hear the faint "spoken" words from the past...

Either way, it flows beautifully!…

a couple of JUST BEAUTIFUL PIECES - a collaboration between i'm a superhero i can fly and shit and  Ana Drahotvsky Bruketz 2011..

"Angel Fire"…

Love the bright colors on "la Poste"...that orange just pops out at ya! Plus the stamp sheet on the back is super.

Give your kitties a good ear scratching from me!  Merci Val!…
