Wowee Banana Mail from MomKat and FinnBadger! Thanks!

Just LOOK at all these great stickers and mail art pieces from Joel! And wonderful envelope, too! Thanks…

My health is much better now, but I still really appreciate these thoughtful ATC's. The single at the top is one Judy made just for me! and the trio jam was started by Lynnda Cook and added to by Judy. I love the slogan "minor surgery is an operation performed on somebody else." Thanks Judy and…

Hooo knew Oakland had so much beautiful art? Fleur knows and captures it whenever she can! Thanks Fleur!

For some reason this didn't appear on my first Live Ed blog, so....Beautiful print by Thomas Kerr. Thanks Ed.

Can you guess what the picture with the Little Debbie and the Dads Root Beer really is? Post your guesses here and I'll tell you next week if anyone got it! Thanks, Jon! BTW I was going to post a scan of the other piece that came with this but it seemed too "fragile." Wink…

Ed Giecek is so generous with his mail art -- the envelope is always decorated to the MAX, and inside are stickers, ATC's, A&P's, and wonderful surprises. Thanks Ed.

I'm going to have fun with this. Although I'm definitely not a painter, I can use a rattle can with the best of 'em. This is a good-size boekie, probably 4 or 5 inches square. Thanks…

Sheri Rice is an artist who's always trying something new. I love that about her work. Here is a teesie boekie, probably not much more than an…

This one is HUGE. It took two full size scans to get it all. R. Cohen!…

I really love the textural quality of this paint. The scenes behind the paint have a wonderful industrial feel to them, and the stripes evoke the American flag -- lots of symbols here if you want to look at it that way, or just beauty to enjoy.…

There's NO WAY my scanner can give you an idea of how wonderful this book is! All the art in it is 3-D pop-up. It's gorgeous! Thanks Denise!…

From Eva! Check out the very cool stamp commemorating the fire of Santander.

Some short time ago, Nancy Bell Scott posted her own picture of this lovely work she completed, and titled it "Finish Line." And I am the lucky recipient. But on the back of the piece she has written a new title: "The Road Between."

I'm not sure, but I think I like the latter title. "The Finish Line" seems so...final. Like we pushed…

I couldn't have asked for a nicer surprise if I had gone trick-or-treating door-to-door!  So wonderful to hear from Mary, who has been a regular Halloween mail-art friend. This year, she sent a hand-stitched quilted piece on cardboard with plenty of Halloween themed characters—cats and bats and skeletons and ghosts... The soft, cozy fabric makes them all seem…
