Mystery Mail
Sometimes with mail art you receive mystery mail — it is all part of the process. This week I received an altered postcard from the U.K. as well as a collaged postcard with my address nearly hidden (the back is blank). The British one does not have a postmark, the other one was sent from Grafton, Vermont in February — so it made it to San Francisco fairly quickly. See More
Year of the Ox — Year of the Cure! (soon)
It is still a week away but I am ready for the rats to be gone and for the ox to rush in and take charge. To celebrate I am mailing postcards with hand carved rubber stamps — the Ox vs. Covid-19. Happy New Year!See More

Dia de Muertos Mail Art 2020 at MK Gallery
October 28, 2020 at 12pm to November 7, 2020 at 4pm
Call for Art: The Denison Arts Council and the MK Gallery calls for mail art that incorporates imagery and themes (sugar skulls, skeletons imitating the living, ofrendas, papel picados) associated with Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead). All work should be created on heavy weight postcard, blank paper, or index cards measuring 3”X5” (7.6 cm X 12.7cm) or 4”X 6” (10.16 cm X 15.24 cm). Other surfaces are alright as long as they are of one of the measurements mentioned previously and it can be…See More

- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- I appreciate thoughtful and creative mail art and enjoy making and sending it. Please note, if you wish to include me in any add-n-pass projects, please make sure they are something with a theme and not simply an excuse to mail flotsam and jetsam around the world. I have receive too many add-n-passes that feel like old fashioned chain letters. When those arrive, I am no longer adding and/or passing.

Found a few very old aerogrammes that I used to send from Istanbul and from Greece,"back-in-the-days".
So a few on their way to you, perhaps they were the earliest form of my "mail art", as there were no greeting cards to be bought back then, so I had to decorate aerogrammes!:
Thanks for the memories :-)
