Big surprise in my mailbox. My first DK mail, yeeey! Two postcards on carboard. Could it even be very personalized mail? Did DK see my Chance/Choice picture and is sending a reply to it? Is it Chance or is it Choice? The characters on both cards are all blinded with the word Chance, Kings of which Kingdom, we will never know. The cards include numbers of various forms, and some of the text is alluding to (Illinois) lottery, mixing, games and prizes, cashier... The complexity of layers and textures is astounding, and the cards make the most perfect of pairs. This is fantastic work by the Queen of Trash....po, which I am very happy to have, thank you Diane!

 

 

The next piece is by Svenja Wahl, and you probably already know she makes beautiful envelopes. This one is a collage of vintage magazine and wildlife, including monkeys' facial expressions, great!

 

The envelope contains an intriguing and beautiful little piece, a slide (one doesn't see many of those anymore) with the picture of a statue, bathing in red light, and the words COULD I? Very cryptic, this could easily lead to plenty more questions and possible answers. Oh, and it's also ZALOP, did you notice? Thank you so much Svenja!

 

 

 

I was so happy to receive this envelope from Jen. She hasn't been around for a few months, working hard on her thesis, and she has been much missed. This is a beautiful lino print on french text. Jen, thank you for sending, I hope you'll be back for good!

 

*ps -  I'm into E.Muybridge these days, and that dress reminded me of this:

Really, DK? So these cards were pure choice and absolutely tailor made? That's so very nice of you. I was trying to figure out... That's really great. 

Trashpo... I'll try to dip my toe in it and let's see what happens then :-)

[Svenja Wahl]

oh, that Jack!!!

Hi Marie,

glad you like the cards and your blog is really insightful you don't miss any details! My cards were in response to your great piece about chance and a veiled plea to give trashpo a chance:)

[Marie Wintzer]

Thanks DVS. Yes, there still seems to be a life outside the dumpster :-)) sometimes....

Svenja, Jack is the guy who Hi-Jacks blogs. He was here quite early today...

[Svenja Wahl]

Thanks for posting, Marie! Who's Jack, have I missed something on my own envelope???

[De Villo Sloan]

Beautiful work and excellent commentary, Marie. A wonderful relief from mucking around in the dumpster.

[Marie Wintzer]
