Mercedes La Marquesa's Blog – October 2015 Archive (7)

so don't fret if you don't see your mail here.

I had no idea this was coming.  It arrived nicely packaged in a hand made wrapping, which I love.  I didn't want to tear the wrapping, but trust me, the paper was sturdy, blue and white stripe.  Too tempting not to recycle at some point, but for the moment I just like to look at it.  The card itself was a wonderful execution of recycled cardboard, various paints (I guess possibly both acrylic and enamel) Tissue was layered on and then more paint. It's an inspiring piece. Mille grazie…

Totally unexpected an intricate post card from the lovely Dee in South Africa.  What a delight to receive this Dee.  I've spent quite a bit of time figuring out the order of all the wonderful layers.  Of course I'd like to be your friend. Mail art going out in y…

I send Katerina  some circles and the clever girl sent me back some artwork with a few of the circles I sent her. I always look forward to opening mail from her.

Thank you Katerina. Expect something in the mail soon from me.

Bjornhaug, send me this beautiful postcard.  I remember the day I found it in my mailbox.  It was a gloomy, overcast day.  I was so tired and all I wanted to do was sit down and not move.   Grethe, please know it arrived in excellent condition.  I love looking at it over and over again.  Mail art will be going out to you tomorrow.

Thanks again for your wonderful card.…

Greetings Friends!

I am finally back from a extended time away from the mail art community.  I want to thank all of you who sent me mail art while I was away from IUOMA.  I have a pile of wonderful stuff, and I will slowly be getting back to you all.   I hope to have pictures taken and uploaded by this time next week.  In the meantime, thank you all for your patience.  It was so much fun to come home from a long day of physical hard work to find your lovely mail waiting for me in my…
