Wow is this special! But equally, Marie has sent me a Bowie inspired photo and poem that you won't want to miss.  Visit:

to see it…

Dot thinks Vizma's recent mailart piece is a right bit of fine minded resplendence.

Tamara sent me two pieces of mail art.  This is a fragment from her painted-altered postcard.  Sometimes a postcard is able to transmit am emotion and for me this does - I guess that's VISPO.  

The other card Tamara sent me is from her deceased friend, Elizabeth Obelenus.

Together they make quite a pair.

To see both visit:…

Thank you, Cristina, for sending mail art as you travel!

Very "minimal" envelope and very fascinating art inside:

strips of painted/mono-printed paper..…

Well, always nice to receive mail art from Mary,

and see her support for an animal shelter:

But something very special was included in Mary's mailing:…

Envelope has Mail Art Martha's 25-Years IUOMA artistamp! Great fun!

...and many rubber stampings..."snail" mail!

Mail Art Martha sent this fun card:…

September 3, 2013 - Once upon a time, the young Robert Rauschenberg walked into Wilhelm de Kooning's studio and performed a bold…

Claudia has been trying her hand at some TrashPo with Style....two purple throne chairs and a gigantic pearl earring chandelier....

thank you!

Never mind the slightly fuzzy scan, An. U. has sent me some wonderfully haptic things that are absolutely captivating and convince me that once upon a time I was there doing that, thinking those things and feeling that way.  

Don't miss the rest of this ATC, another equally beautiful ATC and a collage that I think could be the start of a gothic trash…

Guido sends an original...ink drawing special on the envelope.

It will be posted at Birthday Mania on September 21 for H.G. Wells!

"The Sleeper Awakes"...wow!

And inside:…

See? on the vintage envelope...there is a stamp

a very OLD stamp (but a facsimile, of course)

It's called a Penny Red.

oh, NOT a Penny Black?…

Dude....is this a bad trip....

um...excuse me...have you seen my "_________"

thanks Val…

Mail-art by Jeanne d'Arclaan (Amstelveen, Netherland). Edited for the IUOMA

September 2, 2013 - The overwhelming majority of mail-art I receive is from IUOMA or X-IUOMA members. The material in this blog is…

Very, very.very OLD postcards in Niklas Heed's envelope from Sweden.

Look at these fine portrait stamps he imposed atop yellowing-with-age postcards.

And a third card is a photo, of yet another old postcard, altered. WOW!…

Is this Barbara Hepworth's sculpture garden, Emily? It's a really lovely card you've made. Top effect with the stitching on the envelope too - thank you! See you in the post soon - so happy to meet more UK mailartists (though nothing against my global mailart friends of course!!!)…

I have posted all of my recent mail art.  Thanks so much to everyone for making me and my mail box so happy.

This is a turning point in the mail art of RC, or at least this is a first for me.  Richard has taken to telling jokes.  Trashpo and Jokes go together like  flypaper on flies.  Classic.  Where will this winding road take us next?…
