Some months back I asked if anyone was interested in trading something larger. Imelda was interested in trading. A day ago I got this lovely piece in the mail. Now I have to make something just as good to send back to her.

If anyone would be interested in joining us, let us know.

Thanks Imelda.…

Got something great in the mail from Lindsay a couple days ago. The front is a collection of three images stapled together, one piece was canvas. Here is the front below. It looks like a Fim Noir folder filled with info.

Bad films and music won't last very long in Katerina's house. She found a great way to recycle them into fantastic mail art and to give them a new and better life.

Katerina was inspired by Joni Mitchell's song "Both…

This just in! The latest boekie (Sp?) from Skybridge Studios: A solid gold hit! An artifact from the Summer of Love (sorry, you missed it, kids), An accordion mash up that bestrides several worlds all at once including but not limited to: Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick, Alice in Wonderland, Recreation drugs and Froggie Went a Courtin'. I have thrown Zeus into the mix because he just hates, hates, hates to be left out. …

Inside is bits of stationary rose and floating works...the envelope of made of of both the old story paper and heavy duty tape...this piece made it thru the…

And what about those stamps too! Glorious. Thank you.

It is very pretty as it is, but it is very heavy, and I'm not sure I should open it or admire it as it is.

The post mark said it was mailed from Hungry, but I do not know any Mail Artist there.  Who do you think sent it?  Should I open it more?

Needless to say, "Captain Balloon Glasses" now holds a…

Bifidus has not been around for ages and I miss him, so I begged him to send me something. He very kindly granted my wish.

Couldn't resist a little sniff ;--) ok, now i am laughing out loud. Gotta send this pic to my son in NY. thank you thank you thank you.
