From Rod Summers, John M Bennett and Vittore Baroni - Mail Art Greats

These pieces all came the same week. They said they wanted stick together – who am I to argue?? Especially as they’re Mail Art Greats – MAG’s for short. AND of course, I’m into the new blog trend – Composites – I think they’re FAB!

Rod Summers arrived on Monday.

He has been sending me a series of works featuring The Secret Writings of Dr Moss Mure. …

More catching up - Karen Champlin, Viviana Cernjul

A wonderful little boekie from Karen Champlin, arrived without the slightest damage, for a change, thank you postal service :-))

Karen used a variety of different materials and textures, cardboard, fabric, string, copper, book pages, maps... holy family pendant? (I can't exactly tell what it is). I love the vintage train timetable and the way she does the layering. Beautiful work Karen, as ever, thank you for this little treasure!…

Arrived today after I sort-of designed it on makestickers.com . You see how quickly it was obvious that IUOMA would stick, so this goes on my car pronto.

Catching up with mail - Katerina Nikoltsou, Helen Amyes, Theo Nelson

I'm just back from holiday and swimming in mail art, which is very nice of course, but I don't know how to blog all this without going crazy. So, I think there will be a few grouped blogs for a while (and I will also reply to your mail as soon as possible, please bear with the slow CB).

First a piece of Summer Sandpo (Swiss cheese?) from Katerina. I've had a few Sandpo cards from Katerina and I can tell she used the very hardest type of sandpaper, the super hyper haptic one. I'm an…

A singular challenge from Karin Greenwood

This really great card arrived yesterday from Karin. One of her ethereal angels has taken to the skies and is being greeted (or attacked???) by Karin's mythological birds. The people down below in the square seem oblivious to the action way up above them, they had better look out! The birds have even managed to escape to the envelope...... Thanks for a superduper work Karin!…
