it reminds me that "Winter is Coming"

You know it is an exceptional piece of mail art when it comes tattered and torn. That's when you know it has been passed around the mail rooms for thousands of miles to reach the USA. Of course why wouldn't it of been; with internationally known artists the Artist in Seine and Suus in Mokum.…

two great pieces within 2 weeks of each other....I am "Special"...we all recognize Ruud's special artie envelopes, but I was so happy when there were "special" items inside...

1st Envelope

surprise #1....Archive Print

Envelope #2…

I never know what to expect each time I receive a mail art envelope from Suus....it started with the envelope; see through with tissue wrapped around some piece that had no weight and tied with a ribbon...I couldn't wait to open it to see what it held inside....and WOW! is was a book mark on hand made paper and hand stitched. Such a treasure Suus and I thank you so much...hugs <3…

The Day Jane Snorted Cocoa Puffs...don't try this at home...

I just LOVE Melissa's sense of humor...her digital work is pure FUN!

Along with the card came a few rubber stamps that Melissa has gifted to me...Thank you for the Mail Art Surprise…

a awesome mail art envelope...with the circles it reminds me a space and how fast it actually moves...on the back/address side of the envie Linda writes "this envelope is like a chocolate-covered beetle; nice enough on the outside, but with an unpleasant center. A combination of mailart and bad poetry, it is an attempt to appeal in both areas. Just so you know.  This is #49 in a series of quite a few."
