It was a big haul, but all arrived at the seaside shack safely...and smiling:

Blog Jam Time!

Thanks to ALL…

This is FAB! With BLUE print and flower painting, too.

It is an A4 size, original art, so it is to be framed indeed.

And the envelope from Frieder is fun, too, great postage.…

How many owls do you see, from Heleen?

Fantastic illustration, an original watercolor "postage stamp" design.…

"There's unparalleled beauty here." Indeed. This is a beautiful card, the blue is so peaceful and the circles, I love them. Wonderful quotes. I need to look at this every day. Thanks so much, Jan!

The latest from the Carbondale Duck. This one is way profound, kind of like a bacon double cheese half-pounder with extra jalapeno and strawberry jam.

Wow! There's something so warm and personal about Debra's work. I just love this with all the textures, and the fact that the girl astronaut is holding a wrench! Marvelous. And that mailbox is shiny gold! And don't you love the lady's laughing face up top left?…

If there isn't a position with the City of Oakland for an official Mail Artist, there should be. Fleur makes wonderful pieces with photos of her city. I love what she's done with this one, with all the colorful "bling" at the edges.

I like this abstract but sort of human shape, beautiful colors and terrific thick black outlines! Thanks Shelly. I'll try to send you something soon!

Back of tortacos has a couple of cute business cards of Japanese artists.

"flyinh bird of golden eyes" a spiritual and philosophical beauty from martha. Bhuddists say the bird has one wing compassion and thr other wing wisdom - both are needed to fly.

And in neat recognition of the chicken series a classic…

Secrets, secrets, secrets - can we be trusted with them? What would we do if we were? All of these questions are posed in the musings on the back of the card. Plus a rather haunting Scott:snowblind at the south pole - …

Thank you Meral, wonderful work.

Be happy with Meral's happy fish. :)
