Leo's shirt / Stars in her eyes - from Cheryl Penn

Cheryl has once again investigated. She always brings back tiny bits of forgotten history from her trips for us to enjoy. This one had me laughing for a long time. And where does she get all that stuff from? Leonardo and his bi-pede T-shirt that he never took off :-))) a piece of genius writing. The front…

Card and slides from Karen Champlin

I am always looking forward to Karen's envelopes. It's a gift every time. I got two of them last week, with card and arty slides, and very sweet messages. The card is a photo of relatives, as she explains on the back of it. Tightly surrounded by a protective white line, and looked after by an angel. The…

Folding or unfolding - from Lesley Magwood Fraser

Lesley has to deal with so many things in her life right now, I can't believe how good her art is even in those busy-difficult days, and I can't believe I got TWO great envelopes from her. A chopped up painting, a drawing, very delicate paper, and a small envelope that does or does not contain the…

I can see clearly now - from Carina Granlund

This is my first mail from Carina, and very nice interpretation of the song I can see clearly now. I always like her letters and the way she turns them into great mail art. Seeing more clearly, yes, for sure I would like that. Thank you very much Carina!…

It's the spring chicken's move (or is it the old sock's) - from Dean Marks

I don't even know where to start to explain the geniusness of this piece. First of all, although hard to tell from the picture, it is completely en relief, 3D and everything, and shipped as it is without envelope. Dean got the idea for this after a comment on one of his blogs where I…

Journal mâché - from Torma Cauli

Torma is is making great cards with newspapers these days, I always admire his creativity. And I see the little "rolls" from his last card have caught on and became even more sophisticated. Really nice envelope as well, thank you Torma, it's always a pleasure!…

Dream 6 [Life after Potholes], About Dream 6 [Beset by Genki"s] - from Cheryl Penn (with authentic Dream Fragment)

Have you ever dreamed that you were falling into a pothole? Have you ever imagined what would happen then? No? Well, in this case, Cheryl did it for you. Her Dream series is growing in complexity and twists, and the poetry that comes along with it is ever so unique and sharp and chiseled.

We…

Cards from Dosankodebbie, Jen Staggs, Katerina Nikoltsou,

Once again the photo doesn't do justice to the work. There is a whole world of texture in this etegami that got lost through the camera lens, unfortunately. This is a card from Debbie's new series on holes. She always finds extremely interesting topics to work on, she has an amazing…

Hotel Nemzeti - from Austin Wills James

This is a fantastic (laminated) card by Austin. He has opened the thick walls of the mysterious Hotel Nemzeti for us to have a peep into its darkest corners. The details of the three floors are too many to describe, but there is a certain glow and an atmosphere that has nothing to envy to the best…

Catching up - received from Cheryl Penn, Dean Marks, Katerina Nikoltsou

Genki people, I missed you too much, I couldn't be without you for very long. I received a LOT of mail art last week and I don't know if I will have time to blog it all, but here is a copy-paste from last week's Marie's Mailbox blog. Sorry it is a bit long but I didn't want to post three separate blogs.

A card from the rack - from RCBz

A few Weeks ago Cheryl blogged this gallery of Monas featuring several of the works she received for her mail-art call, a masterpiece like only RCBz can do them. I remember commenting on her blog saying that I wouldn't be surprised if the tiny postcards on the rack by the museum shop were also…
