I have to be honest, Carina's envelope is just pristine. WONDER WOMAN!!!!

That is one impeccable photo transfer! This is the "Rules of Trashpo" Study well.…

Do you see the "whiskey river?" I do. I am just in love with Taidgh's drawing. They seem to me to be very whimsical. I would even venture to say they are Seussian. Perhaps the Dr. Seuss of Ireland?…

Greetings to everyone!  Here it is a new year and I'm going to try and use that as the impetus to get going on some old projects.  My mom and my husband's mom both died last year quite suddenly and just a few months apart so I pretty much lost focus on a lot of things.

For all of you who participated in my Year of the Golden Rabbit call, I am still planning on doing the documentation.  Most of it is here: …

Richard is the master of reframing. I feel oddly uplifted and fatalistic at the same time.

Well in the end, I guess it all comes down to what you are smoking.  And as we all know the famous wise phrase; "You can smoke but you don't have to inhail."  Or is it something about a horse and water?

   Whatever the phrase may be, Bifudus sends some very pleasing pieces.  Yes, those are tinted edges.

Thank you…

The wise Owl sends a jam packed card of images and messages.  The elephant and the mouse is an age old Swiss  wise tale about how a little thing can help a big thing.  Then again, it might be the story about how the mouse took the Swiss cheese from the elephant.  I'll let you decide.

All these messages, which one do you see first?  Somehow my eye keeps going to…

Do you suffer from too much claim in your daily life?  Does it snow so much that you can't even open your front door to buy an envelope?  Do reindeer stroll by your windows looking for food?  If not, you need Mail Art.

A real fun card with lots of messages.  Happy New Year…

I actually received this on my birthday! It was a wonderful surprise.

So many layers! It looks to be on the cover of a book. There's some organically grown fibrous pottery and it's also going to make my mouth taste nice and fresh!

In the second,…

I love messy and adore your text inclusive the type font, Diane!

Inside, some great recycling of some of what I sent Diane, and a funny quote I find very appropriate since it's Friday!…

Supercard, I can't describe how wonderful it is, it looks like a negative from a photo - how did Carina do this? No idea! Love it!!

Wonderful card from Liketelevisionsnow, love the poem! Thanks a lot!!

Hello everyone, I want to share with you a project that I want to run in Singapore. My project’s title will be "Another Brick in the wall of HOPE".

We will create a wall from the artworks that will be made on the specific sized brick pictures. The wall will be exhibited in a restaurant that we have an agreement. Every art work should be on  (230 mm x 110 mm) size papers and it should look like a brick :D.  After we exhibit…

When I started making mail art, I decided to keep somewhat detailed notes about what arrived in my mailbox and what I sent out. I did this from day one. In my notebook I would write down the artist’s name, and beside their name I would keep a tally of the amount they sent to me, and how much I sent to them. This way, I kept a one to one balance. There’s one person out…

Great mail art arrived in Greece today. Not one, but two FAB cards from Stripygoose.
