I was delighted to receive this from Sarah today:

Very cool! It's downright striking in real life, and the first look as it came out of the envelope screamed "Asemic radio!" But here, at the laptop on desk, the second-guessing began. IUOMA is on my screen; it's yellow. Then the keyboard started to magically appear in Sarah's work, and I decided maybe it's an asemic laptop, you idiot. But as they say, the first impression is the most accurate one, and Sarah has told me it is in fact a radio. It looks like a retro radio, the type I absolutely loved when visiting relatives as a child. Of course, it is probably a modern radio and I'm not getting out enough. In any case, I love this card, Sarah! Love the composition, the colors, and their contrasts, not to mention that even your white signature up the side looks asemic. The address side is here too because its mixture of advertising, Sarah's additions, and her note, plus the colorful address labels and the way she placed them, all delight me. Thank you, Sarah, I love your mail-art and will reciprocate very soon!
