I am having an exhibition in March called 'Carrés/Squares). Everything in it will be...you guessed it...square(ish). 70 different sorts of works are going to e in it, including these square collections of 51/2" Floppy Disks that were very kindly given to me by Katerina a while back. Square Floppys on lil Square canvasses. Mercy Buckets, Katerina!…

Remember the project and exhibition in Athens: "Lex-Icon"?

Take a Greek word and translate it to your language ...here is one by Bernadine Carroll from Limerick, Ireland.…

Wonderful hand made envelope, and the paper was found in Athens, Greece.

Debra from Idaho was at Monasteraki and discovered this pic of a Greek mailman's bike!

It says..."Greek Mail", you see?…

Mail art by IUOMA member Yayoi S.W. (Kirkland, Washington, USA)

January 11, 2018 - A HUGE (albeit belated) welcome and thank you to Yayoi S.W. who appears for the first time on the venerable pages of my blog. Of course Yayoi S.W. receives the customary nod, wink and secret handshake extended to all new Tenderfoots.

As far as I know, Yayoi S.W. is a newcomer to the Eternal Network and is sending some FAB work through the postal system…

I did see that Katerina posted the documentation of this fun Mail Art Project by Dorothea Gintz and Michael Ley but would like to thank Michael for his lovely art piece he sent to me.

Thanks Katerina for posting  the Dust Bunny I made for this project. I really enjoyed seeing yours too. :)

Until next…
