Barkpo from Neil: 

There it is, great and raw bark, with someone's "stump treework" ad, put together by Neil along with a few other doodles on paper. The whole thing is on cardboard, and says clearly that this is Neil's design. And I love it. Also from Neil in recent months: …

Such beautiful waxy + burnt words + symbols in this little book. The entire work is pure poetry: …

... from months ago ... thank you, Carina: 

That one is a favorite from Carina. See the car! The bathing suits! The abbreviated handwritten notes on the image! I'm still trying to figure out how those notes came out right side up, when the rest of it seems to be a transfer--a phenomenon Carina and I have discussed in the past. She clearly knows how to do it, and I love…

by David Stafford: 

Slowly trying to catch up on blogging months' worth of most-worthy mail art, I briefly considered scanning "only" David's story and not the picture side of this card. Another glance at it, though, said: That hair is…

One envelope held three very different pieces from Frieder--never a dull moment: 

I think Frieder's days must be very interesting.…

This is a beautiful scroll- parchment- burnt- and/or rust-like asemic piece from Kerri. That's quite a combination of adjectives ... and every single one describes something special to me. I love this piece.

Svenja sent this action-packed card…

Alicia did some fantastic graphite (or graphite-like) scribbling on her piece featuring Betty Friedan and Vanessa Place. Some other queens are featured also in the torn handwritings. Alicia's turn of mind--I love it.

A card from Mim is always a treat, and…

"Flowers and birds under the stars"

"Dancing Queen"…

Well...It's been a while that I haven't had time or will to write anything here. I was very busy ''Chapulling''. I tried to spend all my possible time with the young people resisting in the park, here in TAKSIM, ISTANBUL. I know they DON'T NEED me BUT I know that being there in the park or at the TAKSIM SQUARE is very important to show the government that we resist!!! We are all together despite all the effort they put in dividing us. Who is US? We are PEOPLE!!! We love our differences, we…

We R the Champions!  Of the Word?

Thank you Snappy.  Of things to come in…

What do you do when the envelope is as good as the art work?  David has pulled it off again.  Can you see your mail art somewhere in this master piece?

Four earths.  It is not clear if these are recycled stamps, but they are now.…
