As the winner of Lisas secret contest I'm in charge to blog the next question - and I'll try to kill two birds with one blog, because I really don't know who send me this!

First of all, there was this card: 

On the back a small package:…

Another new friend, Emmy Verschoor, made me smile this week: Thank you!!

New friend Carina Granlund from Finland sent this wonderful postcard with the title "the art of catching a butterfly", it's fabulous!!

Received this beauty which only Diane Keys can manage to get through the postal system (or maybe it shouldn't look this way?), threedimensional card with one number barely holding to the card, absolut wonderful trashpo!…

 As I said in my previous blog post, im now making some changes on my Mail Art website (…

Thank you everyone for your wonderful words, encouragement, and the hugs sent my way.  It really helped and I have been working on art as often as I can.  I am sending a piece to everyone who responded to my post.  This does not obligate you to respond but if you could please let me know if you received the pieces that would be a great help!

Happy Art to you all and many blessings

A few Weeks ago Cheryl blogged this gallery of Monas featuring several of the works she received for her mail-art call, a masterpiece like only RCBz can do them. I remember commenting on her blog saying that I wouldn't be surprised if the tiny postcards on the rack by the museum shop were also made with Monas that Cheryl received, made microscopic by RCBz's…

Thank you, Sarah Churchill! Very creative!!! Embroidered hair in my mailbox!

How big are the canvases and why Mondays?…

 Becouse im now making some changes on my Mail Art Web site, this is the new link www.artinthemail.pt.vu, i decide to create there a specific space to all Mail Art that i received so far, you can go there and click on the navigation bar botton with the name "RECEIVED". Post all the pieces there will take some weeks,…

Two great works from Michalis Kotsaris reached me one etching and one sketching. Great work on fine paper thank you very much for the art!…

This one is very difficult to describe, I will have new discoveries for long time. Its a book full of faces, you have to discover slowly and keep the touch to the threads that seem to hold the book together. But its like a cave full of spiderwebs it makes you stay and watch, look, code to the next side.

 Great work, Thank you very much C…

Now something to find out for you!

Do you know this artist? Look at the fine lines the control of colour structure and haptic elements. See the letters vanish in the landscape of asemic poetry.

Who made this? The one who knowes first will receive some mailart!…

These weeks are very busy times so I am far behind in putting great letters in blog posts too share. I don´t know if I manage to post all of them but I will start: I received a wonderfull piece of art from Karin Greenwood, it made the long way from South Afrika. Thank you very much, Please turn your Monitor to see the beauty from the right side. (blogreading is too easy, so I have to make it more amitious). Thank you Ka!rin…

Yes, the title is so true.  Trashpo boekies are made with loving hands; by people who love to share.  They are unique, creative, tiny works of art.  Little bits of intriguing scraps, found, sorted, painted, and given a new life when the scraps are bound together.  There is mystery, drama, wonder, fun, and much more, to enjoy in these tiny booklets.  The paper/items included have come into the posession of the artists in random ways, but they are not randomly assembled.  They are prepared…

GOTIJ! In the mail box today, a beautiful piece of a masterpiece from Cheryl in South Africa.

Two-sided, one side with a photo image, perhaps of the "whole"?

and the other side: a piece of the masterpiece...painted on…

  A new mail art piece arrived today to TAKE1 Mail Art Call, the first project of the portuguese COMA collective.

from Pucelilina from Imelda Wubben…

"What's on your mind II", but I think it's "What's on your mind too", as what I am finding our about Carina, is that she is very clever, and being snowed in for 9 months of the year and seeing the Northern lights on a daily basis plays tricks on her mind ... too.

I had to look it over more than once as I really think that the skier looks like me, and I was wondering where she could have obtained a photo of me other than on that Rugby calander I posed for a few years ago.  Yes, ladies,…
