Here is a tag featuring a painting of a Freshwater Pike called "This is the one that got away". You may not be able to tell from the scan, but it is painted with a metalic paint that realy makes it come alive. Also it arrived in a great envelope.…

It has been a whack of a mail week from Angie Cope – FAB! I received her Alpha Man which I have seen alpharing around IUOMA, strutting his stuff. Angie kindly forwarded this from a local newspaper as I think the sculpture on Lake Michigan is fantastic.…

This is an envelope I received before the holidays from Carla Cryptic and it contained... my own profile picture stickers! How sweet, really. I like what you did with this picture, Carla, I will use them for sure. Thanks for taking the time to be so creative!…

I don't know what to do except keep trying - but for how long. It used to be fine.  Also the same thing sometimes happens when wanting to include an image in a  pm.

Any thoughts / help appreicated (I wasnt sure who or where else to ask).

Thanks

When people send me ma I like to include…

The tape n peel technique continues in this nifty mail art by Jon. He used an old NASA post card whose title and description lends a cosmic tone to this piece. I like the text and the muscles melded in there, and not a speck of blue to be seen. Gracias…

Always a treat to have mail art from Izmir, Turkey!

Thank you muchly,…

Mai Art received last week of December 2010.

Marie has been very quiet - nice to see you back :-)

This is Marie's contribution to The World is a Town Project.  I confess to being a little stymied?? But, I'm keen on keeping everything intact and green - the starry world of the un-intact goat. Thanks Marie - good to hear from you…
