Moan Lisa at the Whitney

This is just an artist's rendering so don't get all excited. Moan Lisa has a little problem with presentation ie these beauties came stapled together like a stack of receipts. Please, people. This is your art and it's pretty cool...do not staple...if you have to tie something together bike down to Hobby Lobby and get some raffia, or green duct tape or…

Lesley Magwood Fraser's lyrical drawings+

A fold-out artful yet beautifully ordinary "boekie" of drawings (with a touch of color) arrived from Les two days ago. (With a wonderful note, inked on a recipe book page that gives instruction for Bohemian Sauce and Genoa Sauce, which may be in serious and dire competition for all we know.) 

With her art she expresses moment-to-moment life, its pain and hope and…

"Musical Tinkle" from Marie Wintzer

This deeply inspiring boekie arrived from Marie in the winter. It means a lot to me on many levels. I don't know whether others received and blogged a version of Musical Tinkle, but here is what I was lucky to receive: …

"Ice Melt" from Amy Morton

This beauty arrived in an envelope painted with richly joyful colors from Amy Morton, a recently new member of IUOMA. I was and am delighted by Amy's work, and quote some thoughts from her enclosed note:

"I dabble in many mediums but my main passion is historic photographic printing processes." "This is 'Ice Melt' and it is printed in a cyanotype…

Are these bullet marks? Yes ...

... and they were extremely lovable until David Stafford told me this. But then they remained lovable. Sometimes a line can be drawn between art and life--or is it that they're so juxtaposed as to be indistinguishable?

That is plain old gorgeous.…

TRASHBOOK from Neil Gordon, and who in Connecticut can be trashier?

This trashbook from Neil is raw and real, as all his mail art is. The boekie's pages held a letter and so just a few selected pages are shown in this post--plenty to appreciate the rawness and reality: …

Blog,blog, blog

Received one of Rebecca Guyver's wonderfully evolving trashquilts. This one is the most colorful and magical I have seen. That she is now incorporating trash formed writing is taking it to a whole other level. Perfect ad promo for DKult Rebecca! I hope that billboard deal for DKultUK goes through.  It IS very beautiful, but definately not too pretty for DKult. This will show the softer, more feminine side of DKult and hopefully attract more desperate housewives and spinsters.I don't think…

Collaboration with Jon Foster

I don't know if this(or these) are considered collaborations, but that's what I'm going to call it/them. First image is of a goodie package from Jon Foster. I used almost the entire content of the envelope to create the piece in the second image. …

Coursera

I got my mail art homework in on time this week! I like the course, but I'm not that big on collage, so it's not quite as exciting as I had hoped it would be. But, I'm learning things, so I'm happy. The course I'm taking is Introduction to Art: Concepts & Techniques

This week's lesson happened to be on mail art. :-)

I wish she would get more into drawing or painting,…

Another third is going to be used for the restoration of antiques and old mirrors.
