Melissa Wand's painstaking hand-stamped note

I had to laugh out loud at this piece by Melissa--I can see her thinking writing this way was fun at first and then becoming aggravated at how slow it was and making the whole thing a kind of lovely joke. Marvelous!

I love that little birdie! Thanks…

Museum of Mail Art -- my first piece from this artist!

Rockets appear to be halted in their tracks to peace by a little girl and her puppy! And a 3D gnome looks on! On top of this picture is a piece that I wonder if it's part of the "WIPE" series. It's not numbered but it is signed and hand-stamped. Anyway, I quite…

Briana Learnihan's Beautiful Mail Art

People are always saying, "the photo doesn't do this justice," and this really is true of this piece. There are so many layers to this, and so many textures. Music, letters, pictures, circles, text, every time I look I see more. Just wonderful. And her envelope and the other little card that came with this are marvelous, too. Thanks, Briana!…

Aaron Morgan's Raven in a Jar

I've been admiring these ravens ever since I first saw them. Aaron's new white ink stamp pad really makes this jump off the paper! I feel a bit sorry for this fellow but he looks smart enough to figure a way out of that jar. Thanks so much, Aaron. I love…

Minneapolis Gnome is BACK!!!

OH I have missed the Gnome SO MUCH! Look at this beautiful cow, tastefully if ironically painted on a Micky D's hamburger wrapper! Look at her eyelashes!!!! I am in love with this cow. On the back of this wrapper, the Gnome has written "There's no room in my back yard for a cow." Well, there's room in my house for this one!…
