Giant candy bar. It's gone now. DeLISHious! Erni collaged the whole thing so tight that I wanted to take a hammer to it, BUT that would have destroyed the collage. You can see what's left--rather interesting things going on in Erni's brain, I'd say, probably…

sometimes I think love alone, isn't  enough

Happy mail week for me: Diane Keys send me this great mail art as a surprise. The part on top (if it is the top) looks like an old anatomical drawing (or a river delta??) - it's wonderful, Diane, thank you very much!

After getting the postcard with notes from Cathérine last week I received this wonderful mail art from Nancy Bell Scott. I favorited and commented it a few days ago and Nancy wrote that it was already on the way to me at this time. I love this card because of the wonderful colours and the very special touch (??) Nancys cards have. And I love the tiny "Nancy" on the bottom…

As a few of my friends have been reminding me, this month is one year of IUOMA contact for me. Serendipity came to the celebrations.  You’ll see why.  The first piece of mail I ever received was from Jen Staggs.  I received her Plagiarist pages two weeks ago – Jen has been weighed under her own studies, but took the time to send the pages back.

This arrived three weeks ago and knocked my socks off: Gabriel sent me this because a couple of months ago I admired some photos he'd put up that played with the alphabet and signs and symbols. He has created his own symbols for the alphabet, and an imaginary story to go with the concept. The above is the front of this 7"x9" book; and the back plus his translation sheet…

A wonderful minimal work: The slicing or carrying that's happening to the alphabet here really appeals to me. The shapes and the spots of color along with it make for an extra nice composition. I love it, and always love her address side too, with "official" stamps: …

This is Lesley's second chapter for the Windmills of My Mind collaborative book. She has produced two fantastic chapters filled with the most beautiful etches. Faces, profiles, eyes wide open or tired eyelids, each of them has his own windmills, his own little world of rolling thoughts. Thank you Lesley, I hope I can send you a chapter very soon, as soon as those…
