More cards and fun... a "ghostly" image:…

A very fun mobile from Janine Weiss which came is a clear bag.  I got my mail at the same time as someone else in the building, and they looked at it with amazement.  "Something I order on e-bay", I said.  "Oh right", they said.

At first I tied to put it in the scanner, but that didn't come out very well.…

     Val started a puzzle project a few weeks ago, and Suus in Mokum was also one of the choosen ones.  I agreed to string along as I has understood that it was a pretzel project.

     Well it turned out that the puzzle project didn't have anything to do with pretzels or even beer.  But one wonderful thing is that I received this wonderful piece from Suus in Mokum.  It made the whole project worth it.…

Another unknown Mail Artist - Souvenir di Sicilia - From someone from USA who has been too Silly  to Sicily.  Signed, a friend of a friend of a friend.  But I just saw the Morse code, and I think it came from Amy, or one of her friends.

Thank you who ever you are.…

    Wamm a Bambam, 5 big ones from Katerina.  I tried to deposit it, but it didn't work.

k    But the "Blue For You" did work for me.  Those Van Gogh swirrels do it to me every time

    But wait, barcodes to boot.  Thank you Katerina…

What a collection of fruit stickers from the Super foods woman herself, Alicia Starr.  Looks simple you say?  Try it, and you'll see for your self.

Well funny enough, I have been working for months on something very simular for Alicia, but she beat me to it.  And mine is much smaller.  Yes, I know that this must of been a long time coming.  Thank you Alicia for…

Thankyou to Claudia, Dean, Arac, Val, Suus in Mokum, Janine and Pascal for your mail art!

'Not a sole in this coal hole

Not a whole nor a whole

Will I walk faster if I tie my shoelace'

A powerful piece Marie. Your ability to attach words to an image, a respectable gift. ありがとう Love this piece.

Pedro Bericat sent me this tactile, transparent, industrial or scientific (I'm not sure) sort of plastic trashpo collage. And the next day I received the following from Sarah Churchill who is fusing plastic.  This piece, an equally tactile,…

She found this near a city bus stop and captions it "oh what a tangled web" *trash--not dishonesty"

From what I can make out it says

"Lack of Honesty

lie, cheat and steal to get what I want

THAT would make me betray them and lose all trust

My family would stop talking to…

This most interesting piece arrived from Pedro. I love anything laminated and these impressions of keys appear to be made with some kind of glue. He has left only the impressions of the keys and not the keys themselves. I need to figure out how to record a sound byte for his sound project         Thank you…

Great art and educational…
