Aristide 3108 folds me into the mailing again and, of course I am delighted! The exquisite design around a run of ATC sized cards features Tiziana and has been mailed to some of network who participaed in one of her recent projects.

Sometimes mail art calls capture my attention and I take part.  Sometimes I anticipate taking part and then run out of…

Then, ON THE DAY I GET CALLED FOR JURY DUTY, I receive this:…

Wow, what soft pretty stripes--I really enjoy Fleur's wallpaper series. And she also sent me a fabulous bit of Oakland mosaic art she says is on a square trashcan at "The Cook and Her Farmer" there. Plus, a sweet little piece of wall art. Who knew Oakland was so full of art? Thanks Fleur!…

Book cover for my latest novella- "Sarah And The Jeweler." Thanks for looking! James L. Weaver
