Gail Anderson's "Do Not Demand"

What a great image, the poor soul with a huge goose hanging around his neck! And Gail says the "Do not demand" is from a fortune cookie. Wise advice! Maybe ignored by the poor schlump with the goose! Thanks Gail! And, we re-used the much worn envelope once…

Chris Wells' Beautiful Vispo

Wow, I can't even count the ways I love this piece. The torn and "aged" painted paper is beautiful. I love all the bits of language around the edges, and then the central image is just fantastic. It's hard to keep the mind from "filling in the blanks"--I immediately think "back of beyond" but it's so much better than that. Thanks Chris and Faint Press. A red letter mail art…

J.A.D. Media Bits and Jan Hodgman

J.A.D.'s 'Istanbul'--mysterious, lovely, seems to belong with Jan's soft beautiful circles card. The small dots are raised, and I love the almost readable text background. Great colors in both pieces. Thanks!

Aine Holder--another wonderful Mail Art Package

OMGosh Aine Holder's Mail Art just makes me happy, like her little "incher" above says! Isn't that a beautiful Salmon ATC -- very subtle colors, lovely textures. The purple ATC is the finish of a Buddy Jam started by Gaby Muller, not on the IUOMA site but an avid jammer. Thanks Aine -- you totally…
