Great Print from LMF

It was so good to hear from Lesley and I love this print she did on a doilie. The message was written in a circle on the back. The face is sad and I would imagine this is a reflection of the difficulties she is experiencing at this time. So glad things are better though. Thank you…

Woven Micro-Collage from Rebecca Resinski

This is amazing as the little squares are not bigger than 5mm X 5mm. This is the second piece I've received from Rebecca that is this vibrant color yellow that I don't see much in mail art. I rarely use this color but it is so vibrant. I think this is created by using woven strips, but then the squares are not even so I am mystified how she did this. thank you…

Buddha Nature 45 from Cuan Miles

This is a clear 45 that arrived as is. I love the seated buddha image as it makes me think the record is an endless loop of mantra chanting. Such a great idea-have no idea where you can still find vinyl. Thank you…
