Final postings for 12-12-12 End of the World Project!

A few collages came in to the 12-12-12 Project before it ended. They were from IUOMA members Katerina Nikoltsou, Mafer, and Dustin de Wind. Another few from Simon Warren also came in but they are out of sequence and I will wait till I have all of them in order and will then post them.

Thank you once again to everyone who made the mailart call an incredible success! I hope everyone had fun with it and I'm glad we survived.

See all the great work at the Blogspot: …

Marie Wintzer: A hint of a smile

Well actually I had a big smile when I opened this homemade envelope and pulled out the piece of cloth with all the Marie trade marks. The images, the text, staples and that paper clip that still doesn't do anything.

So long it did not fit on the scanner.…

Incoming

Incoming! First off Wenchkin, fellow New Mexican, sent me a pair of cards with her unique process of rubbery silk screening that is the perfect medium for her Posada Meets Sears Roebuck sensibility. I see now that I have posted Corn Dog Man upside down which turns him into a spidery alien. Sigh. I hope Wenchkin is making a living off these creatures…
