"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. Richard, I don't believe for one second that your muse hangs out at the semi-golden arches. But I am puzzled about the three dots in the middle of your card. Is this Dada, Fluxus, or do my glasses need cleaning even more than…

What's not to LOVE about this little guy with his John Muir postage stamp?! I love the aged look of the photograph. I want to cuddle that bunny! And is that and 8 or the infinity symbol up top left. I'm reading it as infinity. Which makes the whole card very interesting and well, deep, if I may say. Thanks…

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!

These two, Sheri Rice on the left, David Stanley Aponte on the right, so different, so great. Sheri's piece is very highly textured. All that stuff that looks like lace feels lacey to the touch, and the little piece that says "Dream" is a piece of actual cloth. Lovely. David's piece is paint, I think, on some really nice vintage figure drawings of what might be a train car or…

Another genius wierd naked card from Dean! That reddish thing on the left is some kind of transistor/processor doohickey and it has a big old diamond stuck on it! Doesn't scan very well, unfortunately. But it's shiny! and on the other side, "My Meds from Bangers…

Isn't this just gorgeous. You have to imagine how the gold shines in the light. It's really like a stained glass window! Thanks Ryusho!

I sent a very sicky sweet ATC starter to Gretchen and Stan -- here, along with an equally sicky sweet kitten PC, is the result! Nice work Gretchen & Stan! And, faboo envelope from Stan!…

I'm pretty sure Richard Burton has never before been pictured holding a mole. "Alas poor Moley!" -- Look at the little toes! Amazing scissor-work! And in the little clear envelope that came with Hamlet, this great stash of Shakespeare ephemera -- note also the…

OMG Denise never stops being amazingly creative. Here's she's made a "first day issue" ATC with her "Commonwealth of Anacrusis" artistamp and a certificate "Celebrate Time Travel." The whole package is beautifully done, of course, right down to the gears on the envelope. Here's the reverse of the ATC:…

From Dean, this amazing collage -- this chicken makes a bigger mess than I do! and then, the reverse!
The bow-tie shaped thing is an actual hanger pasted onto the card. He must use really super-strong glue because it arrived naked and very firmly…

Aine Holder actually send me two envelopes full of mail art this week. The envelope above, wonderful hand-drawn and colored jellyfish scene, contained a ton of different sticky notes. The rest of the art pictured came in the envelope pictured below, the one covered with dragonflies. The circle on top right is from Aine's "Circle of Friends" --on the back it a bunch of great…
