I received a great packet of/from Dharmadada! Wonderful to open, look and get some new ideas  -I'm besotted of this world of Dharmadada! (hope it's correctly expressed)

A meaty package arrived from Ana! I love the variety of things she added...

El Steak dinner, a family heirloom, a Simplicity neck strap pattern (to keep my chins up when I'm down?) and her beautifully carved cat stamp! And a peel and keep…

Thanks Kat and Sarah. Been busy with a house guest recently but will send an appropriate thank you soon. First from Katarina: layers of textures with article about a tv series, chapter 2, the pacific boils over. and the Agean painting on verse side in Katerina style. Peaceful with a twist of dk. :-)…

The weekend found me celebrating Mother's Day with a 48 hour ART-MAKING MARATHON! I was in my element and in the zone! Nothing makes me happier than cloistering myself away with my imagination and my supplies! In that light, I was quite productive. One piece born of this marathon was intended for the Mutter Museum's Skull Appreciation Day exhibit. Many others like it are in various stages. I used a process that I call "Ghost Printing" to achieve the desired effect. Would love to hear from…

My husbands response when he saw this card was, "So does she think you're a crazy cat lady?" I said No, she knows I am. I'm impressed Snooky allowed her to create this collage homage montage to felidae. he must be very secure in his doghood. thank you Angie! This brightened my…

In this little matchbox, resting on a bed of wool from her sheep I got this little snowman from Vizma

As I dug deeper I got the story of How the Snowman became an Arac....WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

   I have just finished some artistamps that I wan't to use on envelopes alongside "real" stamps. I usually buy the more "official looking" stamps like the Swedish king or queens head on them, these really have an aura with a 1970s official scandinavian dullness around them that I like, but often these small local stores only sell the more contemporary "inviting" stamps with more pleasing and colorful pictures on them. 

   When I wen't out to buy stamps today they correctly only…

Little Red Bags loves the market. She is a bold and daring little entity introducing herself to many gracious citizens. Quite the socialite she is. We had a ball.…

Another wonderful piece by the illustrious Ms. Penn--I dig the transparent layers which reveal and hide at the same time, the symbols of dice and taking chances, the inner workings of the mind, the enigmatic Mona Lisa smile, the incomprehensible and troubled…

My first Mail from Not Hi Ng - Not Hi Ng.  Not Hi Ng???  Not then What? MAN!!! I know I shouldn't be curious!!!

Any Clues? This CD arrived without a return name/address.  Someone at the PO very kindly sealed it in a plastic bag, even though NO damage had been done. Have to say, I'm impressed with this service!

Many mail artists attempt to perform with the help of the PO. Dean succeeded. He didn't put a cork in it.
