Always exciting to get one of these envies...it screams Vizma as soon as I pull it from the box!!!!

but when I turn it over, I realize it's a Double Bruns.  Everyone here knows The Viz(she's hard to miss) but you may wanna keep your eyes peeled for Liene, her 13 yr old niece and mailart protege …

I received a great envelope containing a sheet created by Ruud and reworked by Carl. I am going to have to think about how I shall attack this one. For the moment though, here is what turned up in my mailbox!…

Fresh dispatch from the Queen of Trash(po)! A fantastic trashbook. Don't you love this cover? It's my favorite part of the book. Along with the binding.…

Two new arrivals at the Manoir aux Visons with these envelopes from Torma and Janine. Gorgeous envelope from Torma, and his newspaper collages are always a hit. Janine's mail as well will put a smile on your face for the rest of the day…

I unfolded one of the peace cranes that Katerina had made for the Peace Crane Project and made a whimsical collage for her ... all smurfy and cosmic-like! Hope you enjoy Katerina!

Yesterday I got this Add & Pass from CZ Lovecraft.  I added the text balloons.  If anybody is interested in getting this, send me a private message with your address and I will send it along!

ADieU by ViZma Bruns, Australia.

In the discussion thread, ViZma said this about the book I FINALLY received.

“It's a kind of historical personal piece based on my family's immigration to Australia from Latvia, and of losing relatives in the war, it actually made me cry a bit. That's why I didn't want to let go of it!! But I made a photocopy. And Cheryl…

A wonderful technical drawing (about 30x40cm) of (fantasy) Artspace from David reminds me of a blueprint! Oh how I can look forever at this architecture, engineering design and the humor by David! I just love all details - and I wonder if I have met your guards earlier in my life... The entrances are themselves a performance..

This…

Helen recently sent me this piece about which she states, "I sat down with your last few mail arts & made this series."  What an amazing compliment! It is a folded triptych featuring mixed media of prints and collage.  I am loving it to pieces! Thank you, Helen!!…

A blog post to the DKult Compliance Committee:

As per the request of KDJ and to prove that yea, verily, DKULT is indeed the shit, I send you all this image of my new tattoo applied to a hiney.  I am hoping that the image below will be acceptable to Thom, DeVillo and Neil as well as Angie, the official DKult tatt officer. 

Ever your devoted DKult…

I had to buy a new, larger mail box to place under my little box by the stairs of the apartment building. This is half A4 size, so it can handle mail art bigger than post card size. And it will store many days of mail while i am at the seaside shack for days/ weeks on end :-)…

A mess with aces and wax, what a wonderful surface! Love it, thank you…

Wise sentences written on a color chart tells us to make it simple and trust our own judgment...

Thank you Richard!

This wonderful painting is large, about 21 x 21 cm, painted on panel. The surface…
