A fabulous mail art arrived this week, Cheryl send a card with many layers and a special texture, more than red lacquer, a huge "SEEN" across the whole card, but SEE yourself...

Both sides are wonderful, and I love the…

Lisa/Skybridge Studios sent this hilarious collage of creatures. I'm still laughing about the barking cookies and the wonderful harmonious pair of zebras. 

On the reverse side a great rabbit for DYI, I love it, thanks a lot, Lisa!!!…

After moving to my new home I received a lot of star-art, thank you all for this wonderful welcome here!!

Received my first mail art from Michalis Kotsaris with his famous red sweater. It's great!! Thank you!

As an application for my creature of the month contest Nancy Bell Scott sent me this wonderful book cover with two truly beautiful beasts. I searched for the  translation for this kind of dog and found "wiener dog" or "sausage dog" - funny. I really love this piece, can't really describe its presence but it is old and wonderful and as a book loving person it's very…

My first mail art from Cernjul Viviana María - more Zalop not possible, most zalopistic!

I'm TERRIBLE behind with posting, so many IUOMA-friends sent me fantastic star-related mail-art as a welcome in my new home.

I love it, Lesley, thank you very very…

Received my first trash-book from DK (Dekoder-rings on back order, she lets me know on the envelope!!!) - it looks fabulous and smells really good, whole work space smells now like it. I love it, Diane, thank you very very much!

Ultra-wonderful letter from Marie Wintzer. It's poetic and threedimensional with this red ribbon and a beautiful picture of a japanese woman is crossed by layers of text weaved into it. Fantastic, really!! I'm happy to have it and looked at it full of admiration. 

Thank you so much!

Here more picture to see its beauty: …

Nooo, too human are barcodes, funny card, variation on a barcode Op. 51, thank you, Dean, will send something soon. (and love your profile photo today!)

Just got a wonderful art out of the mailbox: Urban experiment from Cheryl Penn. It is a more than usual wide card to open up. There it a town (Zalop city??) and huge letters announcing the experiment. The texture is wonderful, thick paper, as if there might be something in between the inside and outside... The edge is whiped (??) with this iconic red filament CP and Marie use…

MMy first mail art from Samuel Montalvetti from Argentina arrived, it's a bag full of surprises!! I especially love his "etiquetas", and he send me the one I favorited a few days before - thank you, Samuel, I'm happy about it!
