My first card from Kerri Pullo. I hope you can see if from the photo, the colors and texture are fantastic. I could spend hours checking her "sent" folder at IUOMA, I'm a big fan of her work. Thank you for sending, Kerri!…

I was ecstatic to receive this envelope from Marie. It says, "Hi DK You have so many TrashBooks, I thought you needed a TrashBookmark. (The other piece is data collected from my mice, cells in the brain that are active during a memory task. Maybe Trash...) I couldn't believe I might be the first and only recipient of original Marie Wintzer Trashpo!!

I…

some new rubber from E in France arrived. I already printed it onto some envelopes that will go out next weeks....…

To continue with the story, I changed my socks, (well actually only one of them) and then took the clamps off the tree.  The tension was so great from the 99 rubber bands that it jumped into the air, did three twists and landed standing straight up.  Amazing!  On closer inspection, the tree took a new form.  Wow, I like it even better than before.  Transforming Mail Art, who would have thought of it other than Katerina Nikoultsou!  Bravo!…

Thank you Val for the two headed beer.  Both with foam?…

The echo of my two words arrived back from South Africa. Thank you …

Heleen de Vaan sent me this envelope with the lovely IUOMA rubberstamp in it. Thanks so much. What I do with a gift like that? Use it on all the new envelopes that go out connected to the TAM Rubberstamp Archive and the first one goes out to Heleen:…

Hello :-) -I just wanted to say that I have received ALOT of the most wonderful mail art - I apologize for not blogging - OR always saying thank you - but rest assured, I WILL return you something - sooner or later. Here follows a selection - thank you all!!! (I am not being held responsible for spelling - the spell chick is still living with Nancy the last time I heard :-)

Two beautiful watercolors from Judith Heartsong (USA).  A tangled Ball of Thoughts (I am intimately acquainted…

Thank you Nancy for this piece.  As you can see, someone opened it to try to get all the money, but the French La Poste was there to save the day.

Yes, this will come in handy if I am ever in the USA.  And if I am, I'll make sure I buy you something with it.  I'll go to one of those 99 cent stores.  You know the ones, the ones where everything costs 99 cents, but when you check out, it costs $1.07.  Why don't the call it the $1.07 store?  Why are the little coins worth 10c when the bigger coin is worth 5c ?  Also the little one just says "dime" and the other one says "Nickel"  why don't they have numbers on them?  You see what you…

Well it seems that Diane Keys is on a roll and rolling that Mail Art out.  I received this wonderful creation which we all see but never want to change.  The support is from the toilet roll itself, and the last sheet of paper made it all the way to Paris.  I think this is Diane’s answer to the black toilet paper I sent her.  http://iuoma-network.ning.com/photo/scary-nights?context=user     Since we are on this…

We’re back, and if you remember that a few blogs back we left off wondering what the missing element in Katerina Nikoultsou’s matter squared x tension cubed.  Well the answer is (M2 x T3 + F4).  So if matter squared x tension cubed = Mail Art, then matter squared x tension…

Cuan Miles sent a bunch of wonderful mail art stuff.

I love these stamps: 

And this great card:…

I received this wonderful card from Angie and Snooky, I love the different patterns and colours, and I immediately had to laugh when I saw it - it's a "feel good, smile, be happy"-card. Thanks a lot, Angie (and Snooky)!!

Oh sorry, trying to do e-bay and mail art at the same time is getting confusing. Yes, this is another 2003 vintage Erni.  And I also plan to get this one into the Louvre as well on the 5th of February 2012.  Please note this in your agenda and hold me to it.…

Yes, you are looking at a 2003 vintage Erni.  Although this wonderful creation is not yet 100 years old, I plan to somehow get it into the Louvre on Sunday, 5th of February 2012.  Please note this in your agenda and hold me to it.

We received this in a brown paper enveloped, and began to opened it at once.  "Wow", Vanessa said, "I like this one".  "Yes, it is very interesting, but I don't think it is meant to look like that.", I said.  "What do you think it should look like?", she said.  "Well if my calculations are correct, and I remember my physics experiments, this is matter squared x tension cubed which would only equal Mail Art.  It seems to be missing an important element, now what could it be?” I said. …
