I moved to a new city 2 weeks ago - moving meant a forced hiatus from mail art making and no internet connection (boo hoo).

Last week I was welcomed to my new home by the arrival of 3 pieces of mail art (2 from France and 1 from Greece). Thank you Val, Annick and Dimitra for helping me to settle in so quickly.…

Claudia thank you so much for this piece...

Working on something for you soon... *!*

Thank you Tina *!*

I was very excited today when I saw an envelope in my mailbox today with stamp: Mail Art - Greece. This is my first mail art. Very nice one indeed!

 …

What a great piece and I am sooooo glad I was lucky enough to receive one of only a few....Woot!!!

also, received an exhibition card for Tofu's opening reception "The Art of Beer"....hope you have a great turnout...Congratulations and Thanks…

This little boekie arrived to my surprise and delight...I had sent Claudia two pieces of etegami, which I have been playing with and even joined a FB group started by Dosanko Debbie....

So in return, Claudia sent me this piece with her etegami...I have just posted the cover and few of my favorite page spreads...…

Vittore has sent me a wonderful selection of EON bits (Ethereal Open Network).  Everything is spot on in this correspondence.  I especially like the envelope front/back and the artistamps.  You can tell he has been doing this kind of thing a long, long time.  Apparently there was a congress in August between Vittore and John Mountain (Spain).  Cooperation!…

A large envelope, and you will notice all stamps but one were hand cancelled.  Thank you Cristina, for the 'splatter' artistamps, I love the way you have to look at them close up and in good light:

And the front of the envelope -
