MERCI Richard Baudet!

Here is another really lovely envelope from Richard B. He quotes a poem I sent to him which pleases me a bunch!

Ayse Ugur's Monotype print PC

Another really nice piece--great color and textures. There is a quote "The real  is what resists symbolization absolutely." J.L. I'm still too new to this to know all the references--who is J.L.?

Gorgeous PC Surprise from Peta Johnston

Peta sent me this lovely card. The different shades of purple and blue paint over the text are very effective, almost like the text is submerged under water. Then the white dashes and circle are something really thick and shiny and they all look like they're rushing somewhere. I love this.…

Oh Blessed Mail Day--a package from Minneapolis Gnome!

Where to start with the Gnome's art? The envelope is of course fab, with Oscar and the special gnome artistamp. Then the A4 sized piece inside. First of all everything in the envelope, just about, was recycled, reinvented stuff I had originally sent him. Which I love! The poem on the "letter" inside was made of poetry prompts I'd sent him, alternating with his handwritten lines. He actually made a coherent narrative out of this, including illustrations! Then there is a typed letter, with a…

Mail Art Martha!

Here's a beeyootiful digitally watercolory bottle/fish/man thing from MAM and a Vispo she says she doesn't like but I like it quite a lot--it's graphically very kicky. And, of course, the best part is the poor polar bear stamp on the envelope that came all the way from the Queendom. Thanks MAM!…

Beautiful Bizarre Animal ATC's from Angie Cope

Angie's hyena (her favorite animal) is a hand-made print. The Tasmanian Tiger is hand-painted. So talented!

Yas sends me quavery kitties from Buenos Aires!

These kitties look very nervous -- too much maté? She also sent some photographs, perhaps of herself? Very lovely and oh so young!…

Angie's Envelope!

Angie's envelope is worth a blog post all it's own! Love the little donkey--and I'm crazy about maps! And her artistamp is gorgeous!

Nadia Aroca sent me this lovely card

I'm not sure if this is a handmade print or if it's painted -- either way it's very lovely. The bird (I'm guessing a magpie) is so lanky and rumpled looking. Beautiful red prints and black what-do-you-call-em's -- would those be glyphs -- I'm not too sure of the terminology. Anyway, I like…

ATC from Stan Askew

Beauty from Jubula

Jubula asked me for a card with 5 things about myself on it -- this is her response to me. It's really beautiful and I stopped counting the layers at 6. Even with all the layers it's very delicate.

Collab Cut-Up by Richard C. and me

Just hooked up my 10 year old scanner to see if I can speed up the documentation process -- seems to work! Meanwhile, fun with Richard's poetry....

Cuan Miles of South Africa sends me some "random art"

What a fascinating package of art from Cuan. First, the envelope is made from a print I think I've seen before -- it almost looks like a book cover. Then a really strange collage that is torn and deliberately blurred--I don't know much about how this is done, maybe a transfer? People in extremely weird costumes and the word "inclusive" below them. Plus, two altered playing cards and, if that weren't enough, a wonderful cut-up poem, on the back of which is his really cool round label "Cuan's…
