hello my friend, so beautiful to see conceptual art blossom.

How does Dean do it? ...carefully! Front and back of the folded piece.

Lots of fun circles (the iris of the eye!), and…

Always good to see Jimmy Connors in the mail,

amazing postage and collage designs,

Danke! Thank…

Here's the flipside of "Family Portrait." I thought I would be conscientious and cover over the addresses digitally (though members can access my address here to send mail art). But used polka dots. I hope that's OK.

This is so exciting! Received my first mail art: "Family Portrait" by Richard C. -- from Baby Ruth & Richard! Thank you!

A really wonderful fish zine from Bonnie. Loved this one a lot. Also a reminder (to myself) that these sort of zines don't need to be bound.…

I am now travelling in Serbia. Today, Predrag and I met our fellow mail artist, Zorica in Serbia at a cafe. I had such an amazing time all together. Thank you so much, Zorica, for your lovely mail art cards!!

What is important for IUOMA purposes is, I have spent the last several months taking care of him, and now, well, I have almost nothing to do.  Lots of free time.  I am hoping to pick up making mailart again.  While I am…

Lots and lots of mail art has come in the past weeks, do you see yours?

There were a few A4 large packets tossed on the stairs, 

and small size envelopes and postcards are always the best and…

Well, they are TWO from Concrete, Washington State:

a fabulous block print on one of the envelopes by Ed!

The other envelope was well stamped and with lots of…

Jon sent a full packet of goodies, many thanks,

hoping all is well and dry in North Carolina, Jon!

And from Canada, "Gingersnaps" sent nice "TIME" mail art, too.

Thank you so…
