great envelope

Is covering a card of a bigger work. Yes mail art is fixed to smaller pieces, but that is one thing I like, cause I couldn´t afford the time for big works and yea sometimes its a matter of workspace. But what I think its a kind of lovely communication and communication comes out of small words building an sentence or a story, and keeps space to answer,…

I've just launched this new project - please take a look here for the full details!

I doubt anyone noticed, but if anyone did. I am sorry for disappearing and taking a mail art 'hiatus' out of nowhere.  I feel very bad, and for the people who were expecting something from me I will try to remember and mail stuff out.

I had to leave because of some personal/financial troubles. I won't go on because you have better things to do I assume. Like making art!

She was obsessed with sex and appearance the day she sent these:

They're everywhere in these delightful pieces. My favorite tip appears…

LIAM TRA, anyone????

Everyone who gets mail art from me must hereforthwith hold up to the mirror whatever you get from me.  HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!

Nadine and I are both members of the Fiber Artists & Mail Art Group, and I had sent her one of the knit card series on which I've been working. At first she couldn't find me or my page on this site to discover who it was that had sent the piece. Regardless, she sent some mail art in response, but inventively, her artwork was informed by this perplexity:

I am happy…

Lesley sent me some mail art that incorporated some native phrases I shared with her from the Algonquian language--the native tribes that my family is affiliated with back east (New England, United States). WOW...I can't tell you how touching this is to me paired up with your AMAZING portrait studies, Lesley!  THANK YOU!!…
