Smiles & Smirks

Happy Easter Eggs!

Happy ChocoPo Easter

...wear a mask :-)

Thank you! I had a bunny and the mask did  not save it from being chomped to bits!

I picked up my mail on Friday, October 29th, and there was a Lucky 13 issue of the Foldilope awaiting me. There were Halloween greetings and a little book of autumn haiku inside.

I love the kitty in the middle. Thanks, Martha!

Thank you Fleur I am glad you liked it.

Fun with Ali Khat arrived in Greece, too,

many thanks, Martha!

Hmmm? there seems fog envelops the STG, it may not be allowed to take off after all, Nigel.

The latest edition of the Foldi series (#14) has arrived, along with an "Asemic Postage Trashpo" card, and an illustrated poem. There was also a letter (that I didn't scan). More treats, more fun ... thank you, Martha!

Foldie#14 has fun Ali Khat and friends , too!

Thank you, Mail Art Martha!

Foldilope #15 hahaha...Ali Khat is too funny:

Thank you, Mail Art Martha xxx

Aw, smiles to Ali Khat, the Lap Tiger!

She who opens tins takes a breather in the park, good to see. Thank you Katerina for posting.

Love lap tiger! I have a heat vent Panther in my house

Happy almost March all!. 

Thank you Diane! And happy meteorological Spring to you!

I do not know what that means but it arrived here accompanied by rain. March 21 is the one to which I am used. 

I googled it, none the wiser. Actually more confused as there is also astrological Spring. May be also artlogical?

Meteorological spring was on March 1st, I am told. Anybody can suggest a suitable date for artlogical spring?

Meteorological spring begins on 1st March only in the northern hemisphere. Since mailart is worldwide, I propose Artillogical Spring begins halfway between March and September, i.e. 1st June.

Happy Art Spring then! When I see my flowers poking through the hard frozen ground and snow I celebrate. Chicago winters are no fun at all. Now we are in the big thaw so maybe mud pie making with the piglets is in order.

Almost spilled my breakfast on the table, Martha. Haha! 

How about  'Art-illogical' then, Martha?

Alan!That would be better, you must have read my Marthafesto!

Sabrina, sorry, but a smile in your face is worth a hundred breakfasts spilled. As Catfusious said.

That is what they are called? So perfect ! but no, they are not mine but are at a local organic farm. Elgin lets people have chickens and bees. During the stay at home era, lots of people got chickens. 

So was snow in the artillogical forecast?Because it snowed  today which means it is a good day to make art or snow angels?

Love that Martha!

For today: International Women's Day:

(and for March 17, St. Patrick's Day, too :-)

comics by Michael Goetz in Rockford, Illinois!

Sadly true Kat!

thanks for pointing me to this cool group. but the name slightly alarms me - smiles and smirks?

Don't be alarmed, smirks are only directed to politicians! You are safe.

I remember the kid, some TV series but which?

Thanks Katerina thanks for introducing Michael Goetz!

It’s Christina ricci as Wednesday addams from the addams family movies. I do love a good RBF!

Of course! Wednesday! Thanks Froggie!

We've already had a glimpse of Foldilope 15, but here's another look. My copy contained a little booklet of Late Winter Haiku as well as Valentine greetings. Yes, I'm late in posting this --- I've had it for a week or two --- but better late than whenever!

Also, the Tiger linocut is wonderful! Thanks, Martha.

Thank you Fleur and Katerina. I got one to upload too!
