Reds from Judy Staroscik and Jan Hodgman

Coincidental reds from Judy Staroscik and Jan Hodgman. Judy's card (top) is beautifully textured with different kinds of paper layered with text and even some bits of barely woven orange thread within a circle. Jan's welcomes me to "Blue Rondo" which she says can double for orange lovers! She's doing the Mailart 365 and this card was #8. Beautiful, both of…

These two beauties are just for me! Look at those textures--and the COLORS are amazing! And here is a finished buddy jam I started and Erin added the clock, the text and (I think) the red bird. Really nice work, Erin. Thanks! And here's the new buddy jam you…

Spooky Face from William M.

Super Spooky face from William M. The shape of the eyes and eyebrows somehow remind me of George W. Bush, who was not nearly as scary as our next president! Then on the back, an erasure poem, the sad story of Carmen Sternwood. "For a moment the gun." Great…

WooHoo BIG Mail Art from Sparkle! (Part 2)

Then, a "zine" entitled (maybe) "phasisi skills" -- I love this way of making a little zine--this one is wonderfully surreal. My favorite page is the one that says "iron nail in boiled water, no air=shiny nail" but the Australian bird is pretty nice, too.

There was also a bookmark, which I didn't scan because it's already keeping my place in my latest detective…

Matthew Stolte's Mail Art

Matthew sends a new print/painting/stamp (what would you call this?) Vispo-oriented for sure. A little bit Trashpo, too, maybe? And some omens! Love the Luna Bisonte stamp! Thanks Matthew!
