A wonderful Valentine Card; very touchable with different layers...Thank you Katerina!

Love "the View from Within" .... the paper feels like vellum and is thin and fragile; the words peek out from within the layer of a green wash...You can see where the PO machines took a bite out of the paper as it went through...It kinda adds a third-eye effect...

Thank you Kerri *!*…

Another triple header this week starting with a lovely Valentine from Katerina Nikoltsou....I think this reads Love Again but it could be a Greek word as well. I wish I'd had the time to send out Valentine's this year....maybe next year...Thank you, Katerina...Hope all's well in turbulent Greece.

 Next up: Big Hair from Starnberg...the fabulous Mona Lisa Winehouse from…

Zombie Kitty Kawaii! and I received this loving Valentine from one of ZKK's travel hosts, the lovely Katerina. Anyway, I just wanted to share is with you all:

Thank you for the lovely Valentine, Kat!

Quite a while ago I sent RCBz a card thinking it would get there in plenty of time for the intended occasion.  Weeks later we had both concluded that it was simply lost, surprisingly it finally arrived.  Looks like RCBz's most recent postcard to me is announcing it's arrival.  The actual card I sent is set atop the turtle on the B side…

Exceptional dry point print, 23/50. The passion of this print is remarkable. Thank you very much Cristian.

Although the Thousand Peace Cranes have been sent to Japan, artists can still post drawings, poems, photos, collages, etc. on the Group page. Feel free to continue to be inspired!

Love the card, thanks a lot, Nuno and Nela!!! (something's on its way to you!)

Ah PrettyLilly has found the secret to my heart .... GLITTER!   I always had this idea that glitter was not allowed in Mail Art.  Birthday Cards OK, but not Mail Art.  Then again this is a Valentine's Day Card after all.  Thank you very much PrettyLilly and no I am not blogging what you wrote inside the card.  Gentlemen never tell, and besides, I know that your husband sometimes reads your blogs!…

Fun facts: Joni Mitchell is now 68 years young, and is actually Canadian and not American as I thought.  Great talent comes from places where you have to stay indoors for 9 months of the year.…
