My profile photo is part of an artcard I did a few years ago called "Delicate Bridges." It is worked in watercolor on the back of a piece of yellow invoice paper. Since the invoice paper is very thin (what was I thinking?), the finished watercolor is mounted on a piece of heavy watercolor paper.
Sometimes my art is a little serious, sometimes dopey. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. I love sending and receiving the kind of mail that creates happiness.

Hi Linda! I received your beautiful envelope of "junk" yesterday. All of my roommates were in love with the hand-painted paper- I'm so excited to start working with it :)
Hi Linda, Your interactive masterwork arrived today! I did follow your instructions and cut the green strings, then opened the little doorways to other worlds. I just posted photos of it--look in Photos. Kathryn Corbett
Grazie Linda! è stupendo dialogare così con una statunitense (americana) nonostante ci separi la lingua... un abbraccio fraterno ... che la pace sia sempre fra noi!!! :)
Yes Linda, I got your work last week, both pieces. I just scanned them and I'll add them in the coming days. Thank you so much for sending them to me, they're great. If you want to add the Fan Page, you'll see you name pop up soon.
!2.02.15 Dare Ms. Linda French, ... Amazing!!!!.... Did I miss the introduction to your new logo image? ...how long have you been utilizing it?...I am not as observant as I like to pretend that I am. ... Is that your concept or did you adopt it? I think it is genius (Clearly, the eye of an artist). .. Yes, I refer to your (far too cutesy) little Teddy Bear/Cat's Paw image. Best to you. Richard Canard
Great mail art arrived from you! I will be blogging it at the postal ledger soon and will put it in photos here! Thank you and I WILL send you something soon!
Hi Linda :) Your profile pic is adorable! I received your Cats: The Musical postcard and I'm thrilled with it. Thanks! It's so fun and really makes me smile every time I look at it. I will reply, but with a bit more of a delay than normal. Life's kicking my butt right now. Hope you're well!
Linda, if you are really interested in reading Warbaby, you can buy a paperback version for about 12 bucks from Amazon, or you could get the $5 Kindle version or you can download a free copy in either .pdf or .epub format here: http://danmouer.fastmail.fm/warbaby/
I came to thank you for yet another beautiful card*, Linda, and got bowled over by your amazing profile photo, which I assume is your cat's paw turned into a Teddy Bear. You are clever no doubt my friend!
* the new card will go up in March, the door is full now, and I am working on some stuff to post.
I'd just like to reiterate how much I love this piece of art. Look at those colors! :) And the tactile experience is superb, too. Thank you again! Will send you some mail as soon as I can. :) :)
Hello Linda, the bulging envelop with 'junk' has arrived. You must be very courageous to part with some of the treasures. Great stuff. Thank you very much.
Yes, I did note your wide range of media, artistic style, themes, etc. I'm a fellow traveler along that path and enjoy using a variety of media, themes, etc. I think that I am addicted to the challenges involved. Many artists past and present have a unique style which is instantly recognizable, so sometimes I wonder if I am 'out of step'. But then I think of Picasso who roamed the world of creativity without fear. I look forward to viewing more of your playful works.
Oh dear, and what a nice looking mo. If you can send me, very quickly, a vinyl size drawing/photo, there's a chance I can stick it on a vinyl in time. Get going....NOW!
It's bed time here and haven't been home from work long, but excited to see mail from you! Thank you! I'll open in the light of day and post up tomorrow.

No, it is the 2013 commemorative issue from the USPS. Note that it is a $2 stamp, whereas the original inverted Jenny error was 24c.
There's no way I would have parted with one :)
