Received from Marie Wintzer, Japan--Tanuki Mail Art, no. 605

The muses have been favoring Marie from the get go and this mail art is no exception. She refers to it as a prototype and I really think she's created something that can be explored and expanded for some time. I like the anime character appearing…

Budget goodie bag - from Jennie Hinchcliff

I met Jennie at the Tokyo Art Book Fair last summer, where she had a stand. This was also my first encounter with art books, and my fist encounter with mail art. What can I say, I fell in love. I owe Jennie a lot, without her I wouldn't be aware of this very special world of mail art, and she is a truly nice person and a talented artist.

The (plastic) envelope she sent me cracked me up. It is a traditional japanese household budget envelope. Each month one can write how much one spent…

Great text source - Google Books

As I've been playing with collage more in my mailart, I've been looking for snips of old text that correspond with the theme of a piece. Working in a library as I do, I have access to discarded books, but it's often tricky to get exactly what I'm looking for.

Recently I began fooling around with Google Books, and I'm falling in love with it as a source for old texts. I can do a keyword search and limit to "Full View" in the…

Received: Fluxus Global Vacuum Cleaner Mail-Art from JF CHAPELLE (Bordeaux Cedex, France)

Mail-art by IUOMA member JF CHAPELLE (Bordeaux Cedex, France)

 

December 14, 2010 - In the wake of JF CHAPELLE's Fluxus Buck mail-art came this post-card size diagram. This certainly gave me a smile, but I have also personally sensed some serious intent in JF's work lately. Rather…

Received from Helen Amyes

Some pretty white feathers. Though, I hope they weren't sent for the same reason that white feathers are usually sent Helen!!! Also a nice hello. No pictures, as the feathers are quite delicate, not to mention, a bit messy. Sorry Helen. Next time, I promise.
