Finally there was mail delivery after all the holidays,

Lots of mail art in one big pile! :-)

We are still celebrating the Holiday Season and have a three-day weekend

coming with Jan.6 Epiphany, three Kings Day…

Select pages from a wonderful art book sent by Adrienne.…

Mick calls this "Green Tara Weathers the Storm." Very lovely work, Mick. Thanks!

Wonderfully wicked words and symbols for the New Year! Love it! Look at those colors! Thanks,…

For 2017, beautiful purple and white! With silvery stars! And she sent me a couple of Rayn-deer with my name on them (I forgot to scan). Thanks!…

Wonderful altered cigar box lid from Debra in Idaho. It arrived naket and almost intact. There were a few minor postal changes. I especially like the matches. Debra has a wonderful sense of color and what bits are going to work with what other bits. Love it.…

Super Spooky face from William M. The shape of the eyes and eyebrows somehow remind me of George W. Bush, who was not nearly as scary as our next president! Then on the back, an erasure poem, the sad story of Carmen Sternwood. "For a moment the gun." Great…

Then, a "zine" entitled (maybe) "phasisi skills" -- I love this way of making a little zine--this one is wonderfully surreal. My favorite page is the one that says "iron nail in boiled water, no air=shiny nail" but the Australian bird is pretty nice, too.

There was also a bookmark, which I didn't scan because it's already keeping my place in my latest detective…

Wow, this BIG mail art fun from Sparkle is fabulous! The envelope, first, covered with real and faux postage, and inside, more artistamps including the wonderful Dada with Carl Chew's picture and a very well-disguised Vizma, plus Dada fish. Wow. Much needed…

Ti Ar Raden sends this 2017 Lucky Charm and boy, do we need it this year! I love the envelope, the postage stamp (look at that moon with a scarf and a red nose!), the dancing letters! Thanks Ti…

Matthew sends a new print/painting/stamp (what would you call this?) Vispo-oriented for sure. A little bit Trashpo, too, maybe? And some omens! Love the Luna Bisonte stamp! Thanks Matthew!

I'm behind on my blogging, so here are several pieces from Fleur, all just as beautiful as stained glass. Thanks, Fleur!

Always wonderful to see Denise's precise, well-thought-out, and beautiful mail art. Look at the "seal-stamp" on the note, lower right. It's 3-D, very lovely. Thanks Denise! I continue to be amazed.

If this doesn't cheer you up, nothing will! Thanks Juana!

Don't let the bastards grind you down. The meek will inherit the earth but only after protracted legal battles.

Like all of us, wrestling with the 2016 election results and its aftermath, the fears I have for this country and the planet have grown deeper.   As a result I found myself working on the image above.  As…

Mail art by IUOMA member twj (aka Timothy Waldron, Belchertown, USA)

January 2, 2017 - Timothy Waldron is a “Normal” in the sense that he is not a Kulter or a known trashpoet. But the Karnival of Trash is hardly Deletist, and…
