So many bits of wisdom and philosophy here from the library of Dean Michael Marks, it's hard to know where to begin, though I do appreciate the life this former book gave up in order to become mail art. Dean does an excellent job of pointing out with his collages,…

Mim sent this mesmerizing mail art with a quote worth pondering by the Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh: "Life is available only in the present moment." Thank you, Mim!

Fabrication Franҫaise n’est-ce pas:
And Dean is the hero of mail art text collage. Pages and words piling up like the snow outside, creating some great texture. And everyone knows I love maps and stamps. I'm glad this piece arrived safely--the old patina of…

I love the bovine in the ethers lapping up the water there, Dean. And the extra border surrounding the postage stamp is far out. Merci…

I got a terrific signed and numbered book by Henry. The kind of book that makes the heart gallop and the mind sing knowing that the world is right again as long as you're holding this book in your hands:
Henry had an extended stay in Greece where there were many cats in the area where he lived. The cats all had names too, Henry says, names like Fatso, Strontzo, Machog,…

Earlier this summer, Marie had mailed me a Japanese fortune from a shrine with half its words cut out. She also sent me several bizarre pages from a novel and my job was to create a brand new fortune for The Festival by blending words from the novel with the missing text from the fortune.

Any time a woman stands with her hands on her hips while she's talking, well, you know she means business. The buffalo is all ears, I'm sure. Love those stamps, especially the Hermes stamp!
As you can see, this mail art is anything but square. Merci…

Here is an intriguing piece from Willemien containing all the things I like--cartoons, maps, mysterious black and white photographs, languages, and the Jeanne d'Arc postage stamp. I like the way she put the E.U. in my address. Perhaps she thinks of me as a kindred…
