Some "funny money" and a digital postcard collage from Superhero; who has been very busy on G+ these days; but he has dedicated some spare time for a break to create some new art...…

"the Year of the Dragon"....thank you Debbie *!*

Very calming piece..thank you Kat *!*

Object Trashpo made with compacted paper and cardboard refuse then bound and stitched by IUOMA member Stephanie Blake (Huntsville, Alabama, USA)…

Another of Kat's blues, this time collaged grasses, must be the grass on the dunes near her beach shack where Kat is currently parked off, lucky girl. Lovely!

This Kloof scene arrived from Carl, along with a transparent sheet of symbols..... hmmm not sure that Carl knows what Kloof is like but I do love his sense of humour! Mind you it could be Kloof, we are a very leafy suburb up the hill from Durban, which is by the sea. Thankyou Carl, from cloudy Kloof.…

The pic says it all.... what fun!

Another little envelope of tiny goodies, this time from Samuel Montalvetti.... little ATC boekies and a print on an old cigarette box. I feel like Gulliver when I open these envelopes. Thanks Samuel!

I was chuffed to receive this from Karin Greenwood this week, one of her delightful little monoprint faces. I had seen it at our drawing class earlier in the week and was admiring it, it is one of several that Karin has done. This person has 2 minds about things, or her hairstyle at any rate, but Karin's tiny drawings are a delight. Thankyou! …

This is definitely the biggest mailart ever I have ever received! Guido sent me this amazing painting on handmade paper, a feat in itself as this paper is notorious for being hard to work on.

Chernobyl Pepsi by Teri Hruska…

As I may have mentioned I am behind in my bloggin'. In fact, some people have sent me more than several things that I haven't gotten around to acknowledging. Believe me, I will catch up but it may take a while. Katerina of Thessaloniki is one such person who, I think, has sent me four, count 'em, four artworks. (Frederick's of Hollywood is another but we'll save his story for some other time). Many of you have remarked that Katerina's Blue Period began this spring when the Aegean turns from…
