Thank you to all you amazing IUOMA artists for your fascinating contributions to the Library Mail Art Show, North Spokane County Library, Spokane, Washington USA: February 1-28, 2019.

The Head of Exhibits Librarian said it was a "show stopper" and "fabulous." He wanted to interview me but I was short on time. He's a Mail Artist, too! Smile.

The exhibit and all entries are documented on my web blog:…

Add/Pass time, and I am hooked finally...

What would Ray Johnson think of this?

This came around twice, and I am assuming it was started by FLeur.

There are many fine additions, and…

Keith Chambers sent stamps and cards and much more:

Dada stamps are very welcomed, used on mail art often:…

Thanks to Fernando!

Received a card from Jules S. about 1-2 weeks ago with a humorous message of temporary insanity.  I have sent something back Jules, but I have no memory of what or when.  If you don't receive anything I have obviously totally hallucinated the whole thing.  I wrote it in my log without the details. …

I am speechless as in not actually able to describe everything in the fat envelope from Mindaugas.  A postcard, some Fluxus bucks (I really need to circulate some of these back to the network) a page of arti-stamps, some small art bits and a nice collection of trashpo in the form of beer labels, old lottery cards and coupons.…

The song urges "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut" in this circa 1940's or '50's pop song  music sheet. Nice find, Jayne, and a belated thanks for your lovely card. 

My cellphone seems to be at death's door and so I have been having issues getting snaps done and posted in a timely manner.  Only the need to clean up some heaps before I get totally confused (some would say "too late" about that) has spurred me into action. …

Good morning my friends. I attended the Holi festival of colors yesterday and currently I am working on art reflecting the spirit and colors of the festival. This was a replenishing of spirit and love held each spring. We are indeed more alike than we are different! There is no other festival like it. Where else could I go to be painted with all of the glorious colors of the universe, and paint others in return. Blessings all...   

Received with thanks from Bonniediva about a week ago, a package containing a signature vintage card, an ATC and assorted happy mail items that I have sorted into two potential collage piles now, but not sure I will not re-sort again. 

Received from Katerina a sunny postcard full of bright colours and music & some Fluxus bucks funny money, in an evelope with dancing stamps.  Thanks Katerina! 

Two lovely decos arrived via Norma Soulet.  Norma's pages are so gorgeous that I haven't figured out what to add yet. 

I received a couple of weeks ago (catching up on documentation here) a really interesting Jester card from Triboulet.  

I took him up on his challenge to send a Jester back and although I've never drawn a Jester before, I came up with this character, but not liking my background, I cut her out and put her on a painted sheet I had lying…
