This metal, yes metal, dust pan arrived today.  However the handle was missing and the main message was covered up.  Ah but I know who it came from.  None other than the Hairy Wear Wolf, or something like that.  I'll have to look it up.

And here it is in all of its glory.  From the Haptic Werewolf himself. (I knew…

As April is bowel cancer awareness month, I was keen to get the first issue of the Project Dissimulation zine completed in time for April – so keen that I managed to be finished early!  So far I have completed Volume I of the zine, a matching Project Dissimulation badge (I will create a new badge design for each issue, so they can be collected!), and bird badges made from upcycled postage stamps for anyone who would like a completely individual…

Brilliant Envelop-MailArt. New blog -> snailmailsuus.blogspot.com

Such a very pretty layout-Thank you, Val!

The children have made Valentine their patron saint of Mail Art. The all wanted to make pieces for his exhibition. Val-there are nearly 40 pieces already in the mail for you and another 15 or so to follow. They were terribly excited when his piece arrived. Mr. Valentine is really real! They loved the French stamps, the IUOMA badge, El-vis and his blue bird (real significance here as it would happen)-and a harvest moon like tonight's here. Thank you, Val!!!!…

Wow. The stamp adoration. The postal love. The layers! Great lesson in layering and postal components-and all over composition. Thank you, Sally!…

The children really enjoyed the comic references and Pop colors of this piece by Jacque Lynn Davis. There is a whole course in just this card…

Thank you, thank you to all you wonderful contributors to our mail art adventure! We've received mail of all stripes and I am working hard to document it all. This has been so successful, I am going to try to arrange an exhibit at the school-and will take pictures to post if I do. Meanwhile, I will begin uploading our friend/contributor's work as quickly as I can. I had an unfortunate run in with the pavement this morning that slowed me down a bit. Hazards of running with sighthounds!…

Recieved this neat collage (from Ohio) yesterday, but I've no idea who sent it... Any ideas anyone...?…

Here is this beautiful, subtle and sensitive work of Granlund Carina. Enjoy it. regards

Thank you Dean!  Don't worry, I've got everything under control…

The USPS put her in a nice clear plastic 'oops' bag. They must have thought THEY were responsible for her dirty face. Little did they know she went grunge on the streets of Paris. This convinces me even more that women throw themselves at Dean. He found her on the bike path!!  Thank you Dean--you always make me smile…

Do you find yourself watching too much TV?  Are you afraid to leave the house?  So why not enroll in Thom's lecture series.

And as you can see, it's all free.  Just tell them that Thom sent you.  Remember, this offer will not last forever. So why not enroll today!…

I really love this...

A great collage and stitched card... thank you

Nancy has out done herself this time.  It seems that these Boekie's are "a la mode" now.  What a treat.  18 pages of fun and joy.   Sorry I only showing a bit of a mix.  I'll try to add on later.

Is this what Haydn looked like?  They all kind a look the same.   Great painting on paper.…
