Catching up with some great mail.

Mail-art by IUOMA member Anete Ulmane (Riga, Latvia)

May 3, 2013 - Last year Anete Ulmane sent me some beautiful work and asked me if it might be considered Trashpo. She needed no validation from me,…

Look on the details of the car on this card from Arttower in Germany!

This card made by David is brilliant. One side features a book cover, for a novel  which contrary to David's vision I will never write. On the reverse side you can read "an excerpt from the book" including cartoon. I am amazed how David can fit a perfect short story on the back of a postcard and I love it. I showed it to my husband and I heard him chuckle from the other…

Heleen de Vaan sent me a lovely package. Included were some PR-materials for me to use. Proud to have such a creative advisor...... 

A small thank-you note is already sent. Also I am using the rubberstamp she sent (IUOMA since 1988)  on all outgoing…

This book came without sender on the envelope. There is some special aura about it. It is - dare I say it - just so trashy, so I was pretty sure it must be from Diane, the queen of Trashpo. Wow, now I own a whole Diane Keys trash poetry anthology!

I have collected a few bits of trash I found for a day or two, but did not find it so interesting. Maybe the streets here in Vienna are just too clean. Maybe I just don't have the trashpo talent. But I love studying Diane's bookie,…

Erni is a mail art factory and generous sender, and I have received several pieces of mail art lately, which I want to show you here. I am also asking your help so please read to the end. I am not sure which item was in which envelope, but Erni might correct me if I got it muddled up.

Here is the first envelope with a large scale collage advertising Erniness: Homoeopathic Erniness for better health and looks. Erniness works! Yes, I am a believer.…

Suus had used so much wrapping and taping it took me forever to unwrap. I had to use a snickersnee to get this far!!

I ignored the warning (from Arac?) and kept peeling...…

This card was made using the tape transfer technique, right? A breath of fresh air. It's a beauty. Thank you Jon.
