Xx Jones's Blog – March 2013 Archive (32)

Mail Received - E

A simple card, presumably a page from a some sort of book, printed and embossed from E. E's mail art often has an aura of mystery to me. Who is existential Fluxus X, possibly a distant relative of mine? And XY, is that a response…

Mail Received - Jon Foster

Hello Jon, Hanks for this treat! I love the pop art style card. I had to check up on Rutherford B. Hayes, and learned something about the 19th American president. Who says mail art is not educational!…

Mail Received - Stefanie Blake

Stefanie sent me this cool painted disk pr palette. It is very sturdy and a pleasure to behold. I told her that my son, when he was about three or four used to paint and collage disks of all kinds. He claimed that they had magic powers. He made one for me to put above the bed, so it would protect me. Powerful stuff! Thank you,…

Mail Received - Katerina Nikoltsou

Festive greetings from an Erni fan! The telltale signs are the chocolate gold bear wrapping and a crushed found object a bottle cap? Plus cheerful Santa and reindeer! Great company to enjoy!

Mail Received - Diane Keys

Hard to believe, but yes, this is a Christmas greeting from Diane! The effects of her turkey and ham are indeed wonderful, filling the heart with plenty of love, joy and peace. You can never have to much of that!

Mail Received - Stripygoose

But before the daffodils arrive I better catch up with blogging some more Christmas mail. Here are delightful greetings and a litte menagerie from Stripygoose. Firstly, pretty birds and a philosophical moose. Secondly, a new years resolution from a friendly fox. Thank you very much, and somewhat late, I am wishing you Happy New Year too!…

Mail Received - Angie & Snookie

Perfect collage made by a dog lover. And what a sweet dog it is, looking quite comfortable on his grassy stitched patchwork blanket. Makes me look forward to spring! Thank you, Angie and Snookie!

Mail Received - Mim Golub

I have been busy making mail, and also experimenting with new ideas. After having sent off a stack of letters, I can focus a bit on blogging too. Some of you suggested that I do a foto compilation, which would make things easier, of course. But for now I have my heart set on blogging individually, even if it takes longer because it makes me pick up every piece and…

Mail Received - hma

Ah, I bet Mim's girl is waiting for mail from this bloke. A letter all the way from Morocco sent by hma. And what does it bring? Plenty of good wishes for the new year! Reminds me of my only trip to Morocco, on a shoestring budget, staying with a farmer in the mountains. It was Christmas and the family lived with their animals in one room. There was a cow and an ox. It…

I will be back

Dear mail art friends,

some real life distractions and minor setbacks have kept me from mail art longer than anticipated. In the meantime I have received lots of wonderful mail. Thank you all so much! However, now I am suffering from severe blog behindedness!

I have started to scan received mail and I am working on mail to send. So fingers crossed you will see more again soon.
