Thanks for you wonderfull mail art

Wonderful greetings from Ontario, Canada!

Would be fun to make a ride in that historical wagon, watch the countryside...!

Thank you…

Carina sent me this pack in response to my anti-Xmas comment at Arty slides group! I just said I wasn't going to participate in the Xmas slide swap, and now I've become the Grinch of the group!!! Ha ha!

This card had me in stitches!…

Angie recently sent me this stunning collage.  The stamped images are made from a potato carving.  Very effective on this piece.  But here's the outrageous part.  Angie told me that when she was done with the potato, she cleaned the potato off and ATE IT!!!!!!  You Rock, Angie!  Keep the collages coming!…

Thank you Karen for the textural and visual mail art postcard...

The visual aspect is all Karen...hugs *!*

I had prepared a small package for Erni to send today, and as he is sadly not with us at the moment, I am going to do some self-publishing. Here are the pieces that I sent to Erni. The bar codes on the envelope are references to a recent online conversation about barcodes, which involved Katerina from Greece and Dean from France as well. The brown wrapping paper came from Erni in an earlier letter and I recycled it.…

Carina hit the bulls eye with this 'mind and body combo'. Love how she combined classical with contemporary. "...Both sides now, it's life's illusions I recall.." Hope the details on this piece can be seen in the photo. Thank you Carina. …

Odd Ball Things yes, but some wonderful memories that came with it.  OH I remember thoses tags which were used before barcodes!  A real treat all of this stuff.  Where did you ever find that picture of my first girlfriend?  She looks a bit stiff in the picture, but boy did we have some laughs!

Sadly it is time to tell everyone that Nancy's glove never made it to…

What does she see out her window?

If she is a guest at Boulevard de Bercy in France, she sees this:

And, if she's had champagne, she may see THREE of 'em?…

No matter how many times you repeat yourself before you loose your head, some people will never understand the important things in life.  Rebecca makes it clear in this fun piece.  She hit the nail on the head with me!

Funny enough, at first I didn't see the bottle!  Thanks for those unstamped stamps ...…

OH Why OH why does Cheryl torture me this way.  Yes another wonderful painting cut up into pieces and sent all over the world.  You got to admit it, the lady has a great style.  I just keep telling myself; “ be grateful for the piece you received”, “artist have the power to do whatever they want with their own work”, I can’t wait to meet her and hit her with a newspaper.  Bad Girl, Bad Girl.…

Something good is coming from the Haptic Werewolf! Yes! A THUG BOX!

All us'uns "self-promoters" are spreading the good karma :-)

We "stick" together...and the world with UHU 

Good to see Erni…

Powerful, striking and always caring!…

A NICE, big package arrived from Germany with some fanciful art from Erni.  One could say it raised the Bär for repurposed cardboard collage medium...

Following the instructions, one will want to keep this artwork not too cold, and not too hot.  Ah...temperance is always wisest.

Other observations:  

• a crocheted monkey (2 count)...…

This might be the most trash-tastic, trash-poetic, horrific, scintilating piece of trashpo love ever received from the Trashpo Queen, Diane Keys,... ever.  Just sayin'...

First of all, Ms. Keys made sure that this envelope was going to be delivered hell-or-high-water.  The front of the envelope had a big BOLD--yet re-used--sticker that stated:…

I had a nice extended vacation abroad in October, and I love traveling.  But I'm not the only one taking cultural excursions around the world.  Some friends have sent mailart documenting their recent travels:

Dean Marks decided to spend "for daze" in Strasbourg , "just to see what it is all about...  Maps included!!...…

There was an Artistamp Exhibition and Symposium in Seattle several weekends ago, and boy was it stupendous!

Some other IUOMA-ians have posted some great documentation of this event already... Jennie Hinchcliff--who came all the way up from the Bay area--posted some great photos…

because sometimes it can all become a bit overwhelming.  Here's to a bit of peace in everyone's day!

FromCarina, a fantastic digital photo transfer that I think reflects pretty much how many of us react when placed in a black-and-white prescribed room of the everyday and we let our visions and fantasy become the guiding influence in our lives. Thanks Carina!…

this great pic of Baby Zombo,  which has only recently been removed from my refrigerator and onto the art-space walls to join other mail art.  ThanksTheresa!  I have to say, I don't know of anything else in the world that makes one want to hug and flee at the same time.  The shoulder stuffing is particularly touching / disgusting. :) …
