Rachel Freeman's lovely silver bunny

I would so love to be able to draw/paint/make original art like this. I'm pretty good with a glue stick, but that's about my limit! Really nice fish stamps, too! From a former…

Sherri Rice's "Curious Beasts"

This PC from Sherri is just Wow! Beautifully crafted, I love the colors, the bit of stained glass window she uses is not your usual (it has nude figures on it), and sweet little donkey. Plus the creature in the bottle. And the background! I could look at this for days and probably will!…

Ti Ar Raden's lurvalee PC's

Ti sends me these cards that manage to incorporate a whole bunch of things I really like: dance (tango), the sea, crows (on the envelope), the color red, etc. Thanks Ti!…

Jazz ATC's from Denise

A while back I sent Denise Woodward a PC that had this phrase on it: "In modern jazz every session is a trial of manhood." She liked it so much she made these ATC's for me! They are perfectly rendered -- I can't say how much I love them! And she "framed" them on this stiff notebook divider from a music school! The woman is amazing!…

HAUL from Jon Foster

I got this humongo package of stuff from Jon today! First, all this ephemera--stamps, 'toons, stickers, book pages, photos, etc. Then, an Add & Pass along with a copy of a Richard C. poem I had not seen before. The poem says, "Funny, it doesn't look like a poem." Then, to top it off, an Anthead Collab boekie! I've posted a couple pages from the Anthead and I'm sure when it…

Jay Block

The postal service was unkind to Jay's envelope, or perhaps I should say they participated in the tearing of Jay's tear-it-up mail art! Either way, here's the whimsical front of the envelope, with its little robotish man on the front (I have repaired him a little as his arm was off). The back of the envelope has a very nice Jay Block piece (also assisted by the postal service).…

Chris Wells Poetry

I am such a huge fan of Chris' art and poetry. These speak for themselves. Note, however, that the flip side of the cut-up card says "no art" -- good to know. Art can be dangerous.…

Judy Staroscik's ATC

Judy takes the concept of bizarre animal to a whole nother level with this duck-owl-butterfly-little-old-lady-in-a-red-hat.

Finley Union's 1st IUOMA-inspired Card is GREAT!

Finley Union sent me this terrifically complicated and fun card, which is totally decorated front and back. He sent me a BIG packet of wonderful stuff, so the card was in this envelope with the chocolate devouring critter on it.…

Matthew Stolte's amazing painting and ARTISTAMPS

I am so excited--these are the first artistamps anyone has ever sent me! And they're gorgeous. So is the little painting, which has a tiny sticker on it that says "pass" but I don't think I will.…

Olivia Arrow's minizines

TWO minizines arrived from Olivia today! Both are, to use a word I really don't like much, adorable. But they are. I especially love the little frog in a top hat.…

Leap Day Clock PC from Dean

Really lovely PC from Dean. The photo definitely doesn't do it justice. It says "Happiness is here and now."…

Year of the Monkey from Juana

Juana Almaguer sends me this hand carved print ATC of SAM, the monkey who went into space for N.A.S.A. It's so beautiful and sad.
