From Judith HeartSong

Last week I received this wonderful card from Judith. If I got it right it's part of a bigger picture and a second card I received a few weeks ago belongs there too. So I'll start to collect and see if I'll get the big picture together. I love the colour and the special texture of Judith's cards very much (and look forward to her trifold pages...) 

On the other…

Received from Lesley Magwood Fraser, South Africa--Dalewood Frommage for Asemics

Lesley's lovely drawings are always a welcome sight. The added bone(?) collage is like a sculpture and the asemic writing adds mystery. I particularly like the figure's hand (must be the Haptic in me). It comes across as strong yet nurturing. A nice overall sense of self-love here. Lesley created fun negative space for the envelope:…

ZALOP, ZALOPY, ZALOPAS – The Creation of Fluxus Nuances - from Ruud Janssen.

ZALOP – it’s a performance right? Whoever says NO in a deadpan voice, devoid of tone or apposite energy - quiet and sadly whispered or in a loud exclamation?  However it is said,  NO  is a complex word for sure.  ZALOP - the Fluxus word as original score was sent by Ruud on 15th December 2010.  I determined ZALOP to mean  "ABSOLUTELY NO WAY DEFINITELY NOT NADA NIX.  It is essential this word is said in an emphatic tone. Accents do not matter…

Cerealism from Sandra Lefever

This mail art cracks me up. I seem to be getting a lot of cereal boxes lately so cerealism is apparently a movement that is here to stay. She writes "I don't own a microwave anymore, so I eat my lazy ppl food at night in the library staff room. Delishious!"

Thanks Sandra, okay now looking at it closer I can't tell if it is cereal or…

The Last Days of Summer from Judith Heartsong

Judith, your name really couldn't be more suited to you. Your style is so lyrical and joyful, even though the message is kind of melancholy. I can only imagine what your larger pieces are like in person. Also, I received your trifold project today and look forward… Continue

Zombie Kitty from from Chaos Atlanta

Got this fantastic paper doll from Cheryl. The card is part trashpo as the silver is a foil lid and the flower is punched from a security envelope. Yippeee~ A trashpo convert in the making??? My son has adopted this ferocious feline and the Kahlo is a bonus. He's a… Continue

Received from Lee Goldberg_9.24.11

The way the colors flow on the piece is very soothing to the eyes - the eyes travel across and are intrigued wherever they rest...the pansy flower, from a distance, blends to resembles a MONKEY FACE...THANK YOU LEE..

Slow but steady

Mail art friends, sorry to be slow responding to the interesting and creative work I've been getting.  I work in education as a consultant and the beginning of the school year is always really busy until about Halloween. I have done a series of cards I'll send out this week with origami cranes inclosed in them.
